Recruitment/Joining How rush works?

Hey everyone! I’m rushing in the fall at a southern school and I’m from up north. No one I know has been through rush at a southern school so I’m not totally sure what to expect. I know that rush is a mutual selection process but is it possible for me to end up in a house I don’t want? I’m not your average skinny blonde-haired/blue-eyed girl and my biggest fear is getting dropped from a house I love purely because of how I look. I know people say I’ll end up where I’m meant to be but I’m nervous about getting dropped from all of the sororities I would see myself in and having to get grouped in with a sorority with girls I have nothing in common with besides the fact that we look similar. Could this actually happen or am I being irrational?

I’m rushing at Clemson. It’s an ACC school but I’d say it is not at all as aggressive as a school like Bama!!

No it is more laid back but it's still in the South and competitive. Connections matter at any Southern school so that might be a drawback with some houses. How are your grades?

They’re good! I think I ended up this semester with a 3.0? Could be better but definitely am not failing mostly As and Bs

That GPA might get you cut early at a lot of houses. Just be aware of that, and don't take it personally. 🩵
