What one day of rush has taught me



1. Wear comfortable shoes.  

Yes, those new Tory Burchs are adorable, but breaking them in the first day of rush is not the best idea.  Take it from the idiot who tried.  Also, everyone will be wearing some form of Jack Rogers or Lilly Pulitzer sandals or Tory Burch or any major designer.  That's what the sorority girls are expecting! You aren't special in that sense so just go with the most comfortable pair.  

2. No short-shorts.

You are trying to represent in the best way possible in a short 20 minutes.  If you wouldn't get away with them in high school, don't try to get away with them now.  Try sticking with fingertip length or brands that run longer such as J. Crew or Lilly Pulitzer.  I would avoid denim at all costs, it just looks cheap.  

3. Bring a rain jacket.

Here, in Columbia, it rains at least once a day.  Just go with the safe bet and bring a rain jacket or umbrella.  Don't mess up your hair just because you hoped it wouldn't rain!

4. Water, water, water.

Don't be that girl who passes out from dehydration.  Just don't.

5. Don't be nervous.

That first house will be the worst.  The butterflies and nausea will kick in right as your Pi Chis or Gamma Chis yell "one minute"! Ask the girls around you to check your makeup, straighten your name tag, and rock it.  The girls inside are just as nervous as you because you could be their future little! Be yourself and you'll end up in the right place.
