It was finally that time of year.. RUSH WEEK! After months and months of anticipation and preparation, we were finally ready to welcome all of the potential new members (PNMs) to the Zeta house. We had spent so much time preparing our chants, getting our dance for philanthropy just right, and creating the magic of our skit that we couldn't wait to share them with the many girls going through recruitment! Everyone from sophomores to seniors was excited to welcome in our new pledge class, PC '15. We couldn’t wait to have sixty new sisters! 
During Rush Week, we all arrived at the house early each morning ready to greet the PNMs with a smile and a trademark Zeta hug. During Open House, we all matched in our khaki shorts and sneakers, and on Philanthropy, our house was jam packed with blush pink dresses. Skit night was especially entertaining, with all of the songs and funny costumes, and I loved to watch the PNMs' faces light up while getting a taste of the Zeta humor. Half of the time the cast couldn’t keep from cracking up mid scene! Our Preference night ceremony was held outside; it was a beautiful summer evening and we all enjoyed hearing the seniors share their favorite memories in Zeta. It was a special time to share our love for our sorority with the girls on their last day of recruitment, so preference night was a night sure to stick in many a Zeta's mind.
Looking back, I didn’t expect to enjoy Rush Week as much as I did. It was a wonderful opportunity to become even closer with my pledge class, as well as to meet older girls I had never talked to before. Greeting new PNMs each day was exciting, and wondering which ones we would soon welcome back to our house on Bid Day, and who our future sisters would be, kept the adrenaline pumping. Only 11 more months until Rush Week 2016!
