[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Texas and live there now. I know tons of people, including myself and close family members, who have rushed and joined top sororities at schools like UT, SMU and Ole Miss, which are known to be very competitive when it comes to rush.  Many comments on here are over the top and inaccurate, at least as it relates to the schools I mentioned.

Yes, it can be very difficult to get into a top sorority if you don’t know any members.  However, if you went to the right schools and or summer camps, you really don’t have to do anything special to rush. Perhaps it’s more of a Deep South than a Texas thing, but I have never once heard anyone talk about how someone comes from a prestigious lineage and  will be rushed because of their last name.  Perhaps this is a small town thing or was a thing a generation or two ago.

Of course you want to carefully pick your rush wardrobe, but most of these girls are always thoughtful in how they present themselves.  Yes, moms teach their kids good manners, but this is just basic parenting, not rush preparation.  I’ve never once encountered or heard of moms going to football games and networking for rush purposes.  All high school girls these days have carefully curated Instagram accounts, whether they’re rushing or not.  They’re not creating these pictures for rush purposes.

If you attend the right schools, camps or parents belong to the right clubs, you don’t have to do anything special for rush.  If you’re out of state and/or don’t know anyone in the sorority of your choice, it may make sense to hire a rush coordinator, but only if she can make introductions to girls at your school.  Otherwise, it’s a waste of money.

For those of you scoffing at this process, it’s no different from the social clubs at the Ivies, country clubs, etc.

And all this applies only at certain schools.  Rushing isn’t super competitive at most colleges.[/quote]
