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

Really excited to start the process. Rush is only a few weeks away. Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I'm glad you were able to take time to get away for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteMy chapter of interest is having intake this season. I can't wait! I'm coming with everything I have to increase my chances of being invited to membership. 🙏🏾
I this for DST?
DeleteHappy 2024! 😁 I hope your year leaves you feeling blessted and rested! 😂 Good luck to all of us submitting applications this year! And godspeed to the new neos!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone pursuing membership. My chapter of interest isn't having one. Gives me time to build on relationships!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year everyone! I wish everyone well for Rush season. One chapter in my area has posted their flyer but I am waiting (and hoping) the chapter that knows me will be dropping theirs soon.

DeleteIf this is for DST, if you go to the application section on their website, the only chapters listed under “organization” are the chapters approved for intake this year.
Delete@8:23am on Jan 15th: Are you referring to the their actual application portal? I can see all chapters when I type into organization, even the chapters that has a Spring 23 line.
Delete@10:19pm - go to the website > “Membership Center” > “Become a Member”. Press “Create an Account”. In the form, look for “Organization”. Type the first 3 letters of the chapter name. If it shows up in the list, they are approved for intake this year. I attended Rush last weekend and they informed us about this.
DeleteHappy New Year and Good luck to all! My chapter of interest is not having a spring line as they had one spring 2023 and prior hadn't had one for 7 years.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I attended Rush yesterday for my org of choice. Deadline is January 24. This is my second time trying. Last time, I messed up something on my application. That was 4 years ago now. Hopefully, this time is different and I can at least make it to the interview! Wishing everyone the best!
ReplyDeleteI did as well. They extended the deadline to the 29th though so hopefully they'll make calls soon for interviews. I'm so nervous - G
DeleteGood luck everyone. My chapter of interest will be having a line this year and I'm super anxious.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how far in advance rush flyers are typically posted?
The ones I've seen this year have been around 6 days but it may vary by org.
DeleteEvery org and every chapter is different. My chapter of interest posted their flyer 2 weeks before Rush. I attended Rush 4 years ago for a different chapter and the flyer was posted the day of.
DeleteIt seems like more chapters are posting on social media, which is great.
DeleteThe chapter I’m interested in is having a line this semester and I thought I had all my ducks in a row however, I didn’t know that one of my letter of recommendations had to be written by a member of the organization. I am a first generation student and didn’t grow up around greek people therefore I don’t know any members of the organization to write my letter.
ReplyDeleteGoogle people you work with, go to church with, etc. You might know a member but don't know they are a member. Good luck.
DeleteI was in that position when I got to college. Thankfully, one of the professors at my university was/is a member. I met her through a research assistant program my school had and she wrote my letter when I applied.
ReplyDeleteResearch the professors at your school and see if any are in the org you're pursuing. Do the same with the leaders/volunteers with whom you do community service. They're out there. Good luck!
I attended a rush a few weeks ago. (Alumnae) My application has been submitted and now I am just waiting for an interview....hopefully
