2024 Rush

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing. Spring Rush season is here, and typically, this blog gets REALLY busy this time of year. Speaking of which......

You can't believe it's finally here, RUSH! Your adrenaline is running high; you have been waiting for this moment forever and can't believe it's finally happening. I always tell people to STAY ready, so you don't have to GET ready. Rush is such a wonderful yet stressful time for all prospective members. You wonder if you did enough to get noticed, you're hopeful that your college transcript will arrive in time, and you contact another member of the org of your choice, hoping (and praying) that they will write you a letter of recommendation. 

If you are a person hoping to gain membership this year, then hopefully, you have done your research, made sure that all of your ducks are in a row, and are just waiting and hopeful for the chapter of your choice to have membership intake. 


If the chapter of your choice does NOT have membership intake this year, I strongly recommend that you continue connecting with the chapter by attending various events. Volunteer for multiple programs, and more importantly, get to know the members.  I was advised against doing this right at the time you find out the chapter of your choosing is hosting a rush. As members, we want to see that you have a passion for working in the community and that you have proof of doing so for several years prior to attending Rush. 


Good luck to all of you and remember, YOU GOT THIS!

Happy 2024 Everyone!!!!

 Happy New Year, Sorors, Sistergreeks, Friends, and Aspiring members!

I pray you all had a wonderful holiday season. I know I did! I went home for the holidays to Chi-Town and spend time with my family. I can't believe it's Rush season again. I wanted to wish you all the best during this stressful time.

Don't stress or fret (like that's gonna happen, duh)...But in all seriousness, if you have read my previous posts, you already have the tools to guide you for Rush. Come dressed to impress, do your research, and hopefully, by now, you have made a personal connection with a few chapter members you hope to join. Remember, depending on the organization you are trying to join, some require a majority vote, so even if you have the highest GPA, the bomb community service, or a stellar recommendation, you must convince more than half the chapter to VOTE for you! And if you don't get it this time, you can always try again. 

Wishing you all the best in 2024
