The Whirlwind Of Rush Week At Eureka College

I’ve only been a new member of Delta Delta Pi for about two days now, but I can already tell it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

The Whirlwind Of Rush Week At Eureka College
Megan Gresham

If you’re interested in going Greek, rush week might be the best week of your life. It’s so exciting. You get to meet all of the sororities and figure out which one you’ll fit in best with. You get to learn a little bit about each sorority, but just enough to get you interested. One of the big pulls to a sorority is getting to know their secrets once you’re pledging. How do you figure out in just one week which sorority you want to join?

Personally, I went back and forth on two houses the entire week. On Eureka’s campus, we have three sororities, Phi Omega, Delta Zeta and Delta Delta Pi. I went to all of the parties and liked both Delta Zeta and Delta Delta Pi a lot. Luckily, I got invited back to both of their preference parties and I’m so glad I did. A lot of people tell you that you will know where you belong because you’ll just feel at home, at first I thought that was a bunch of baloney, now I believe it 100 percent.

I went to both preference parties and I had a lot of fun at both of them. Even though I enjoyed both parties, I only felt at home at one. I can’t even begin to describe the feeling I got at the end of the night when I went to place my bid, it just felt right. The girls were so kind and accepting, they wanted to know everything about me and I just knew that they would become my new home.

The entire week of rush week was a blast, but the best night by far was bid night! The nerves you get while waiting for the sorority to pick you up, or not, just adds to the excitement! The actives are all so excited to come pick you up and they welcome you with open arms. I’m not really sure how much I can talk about, so all I can say is you should definitely experience it for yourself. I’ve only been a new member of Delta Delta Pi for about two days now, but I can already tell it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I would definitely recommend going Greek to anyone interested!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
