Rush coach

Or some other timeline? It just seems like a lot as soon as you join. I know someone going to Ole Miss and she’s going down a week early for rush activities, before classes have even started. Seems overwhelming.

Sororities have very few spots for upperclassmen. It’s much tougher to rush after freshman year.

These sororities are huge- think 160 freshmen per house.

Are these girls primarily white?
Any Asians in these southern sororities?

A rush coach? What will be next, a cafeteria food consultant?

Since it’s a genuine question…I’ll offer that they sign them up for the “right” summer camps. Not sure what the old-school SEC ones are, but I’m from Texas and those are Camp Longhorn, Camp Mystic for girls, and Kanukuk in Missouri. (Though tbh you don’t really wait until 9th grade for that. You go from like 3rda12th grade so that you know all the girls ahead and behind you when you get to campus!)
You sign up for and participate in NCL (National Charity League), you belong to Junior League (as a sustaining member at this point because you were likely in JL in your 20s before your kids were born and maybe when they were toddlers) but you still attend the teas and galas/fundraisers. You support your own sorority fundraisers and teas and Christmas markets, etc and you bring your DD so she can meet other members DD’s.
You make sure she is involved in philanthropy, has good scholarship, and maintains clean social media. Nothing can tank a potential new members chances like a rotten reputation or a social media post that won’t go away.

That’s what they do to help their daughters starting in 9th grade.

And at old school SEC schools as well as flagship Texas schools, recommendations are absolutely still required.

Wow, so this isn’t just about rush, but it’s a whole lifestyle that goes generation to generation.
What is NCL and JL? Never heard of them. I know you said a bit about them but what do these organizations do and who joins? Are they mostly social? Do you mean that you join and take your DD or DD joins?
What kind of philanthropy are y’all doing? Like community service directly with people in need- soup kitchens, etc? Or is it more galas and donations?
Do these DDs ever end up in professional careers such as doctors, engineers, lawyers, scientists?

Not judging, just truly fascinated and curious to learn about this foreign lifestyle.

Read or watch "The Help" for a fictionalized 1960s version of Junior League.

Different question here, but with the recent popularity in southern colleges, I have wondered are the academics in these colleges so much better than the elementary and HS schools in the south?

I wonder about this, too. DC got good grades in what are supposed to be challenging pre-med classes at a large SEC school. Better grades than those received at private HS.

Yes, there are lawyers in JL. Lol. It can be a form of networking. And yes, lawyers were in frats and sororities.

What about Hispanic girls? My DD is considering going to an SEC school, and rushing. We are from NOVA. She is not interested in a Latino/a sorority. Her name is very Spanish sounding, and does not fit the sterotypical Latino look. I mean, ICE probably wouldn’t target her! I just want to make sure she isn’t dissapointed. She is outgoing, polite (with others, not so much with us, IYKYK), and has an amazing group of friends. Our eldest is in a sorority at a big Virginia state university and is having a great time.

water, NAC, eat less (fat is less bad than protein which is less bad than carbs for alcohol processing purposes), Boron, electrolytes (Na, K, Mg), citruline

As a whole, sororities are as diverse as the rushees. That said, not all of the individual sororities are that way.

If you're going to a school in Texas and wealthy, you need to go to the right summer camp and meet the right people.

You need to learn manners and fashion and makeup.

Which summer camp?

They have these, they're called nutritionists. A lot of colleges have them on call in the cafeterias.

Somehow this seems germane.

- if you don’t wish to hire a rush coach, no one is forcing you to.

The OP of this topic is a little ridiculous IMO.

Why are you people so judgemental? Rush season is over, you know.

I find it hard to believe that put-together teen girls this day and age would go to sleep away summer camp much beyond early middle school. Am I wrong? All the teens I know that are into a sports, dance or cheer do not go to camps unless related to their activities. Even at the popular North Carolina Camps many kids in the DMV attend, most girls and boys stop going after early middle school. The older campers do not seem like SEC sorority types … I’ll just leave it at that. Is it different in the Deep South?

I know of a few HS girls going to summer camps. Jewish-based teen camps are also popular.
