RUSH Q&A
How does rush week work at your school?
We have a full week of rounds, Sunday to Sunday! You visit each chapter and throughout the week they make cuts. You get down to the final two houses that you like on preference night and, after you pref, you anxiously wait for the most exciting day of the week.... BID DAY!
What was the most surprising part of rush to you?
The amount of girls at Ole Miss that went through rush (over 2,000) and how competitive it actually was.
Tell us a little about your sorority rush wardrobe essentials.
There's really not a certain thing to wear like most people assume. Yes, in the South girls wear Lily and pearls, but if that's not your style you didn't have to wear it! I bought my outfits according to my personality. I bought a few pair of J. Crew chino shorts, a nice cocktail dress, and a few sundresses that best fit me and made me stand out in a positive way!
What did you do to prepare before rush week?
I bought all of my outfits ahead of time! I ironed each of them and hung them in order of the days I would be needing them. I also got all of my homework for two weeks done ahead of time and made sure I was caught up in each subject, so I didn't get behind. I kept calm and expected nothing out of the process, which I feel is very important. I had an open mind and I gained SO much throughout the entire experience.
