7 Reasons Rush Is SO Worth The Wait And The Work

Even though it may seem like it will never end. Push through, bid day is the best day.

Chi Omega is my sisterhood and I wouldn't want it any other way.

The friends you make along the way

Personally, I made so many friends, especially in my rush group, and it was so cool to meet so many more people that I might not have met another way.

The connections you make

Some of the connections I made during rush with my now sisters are ones that I would not trade for the world. I think it's so cool how you can just automatically click with someone you just met and it was definitely one of my favorite parts of the whole process.

You have excuses to look cute, even if your feet are killing from your heels

Honestly, I love getting all dressed up and cute to go places so I didn't mind the dress codes, but I did have some nasty blisters from the shoes I decided to wear. It's OK though because I looked cute!

The opportunities that really are endless

Through sororities, and Greek life in general, there are so many opportunities that allow for leadership, creativity, the list could go on and on. I think it is so important to take advantage of all the opportunities your organization has to offer, I know I will be.

Greek events

Especially at URI, the events such as greek week and individual sorority/fraternity events are so much fun. I cannot wait until Greek Week already and I know that it's everyone's favorite week of the year!

Having a place to now go to when you need to relax

I feel so welcome at my sorority's house now, even if I'm just having a bad day or want to see my sisters. I think that it's super important to have a place that you really can call home and go to when you need some extra love.

Finally, BID DAY!

I had watched videos of bid day pretty much all of high school so I was SO excited to finally experience it myself. And I absolutely loved every minute of it. There were some points where I didn't feel like it was real but I will always remember my bid day as one of my favorite days ever.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
