“did you have a bad day” - “yea” - “me too, let’s hug” YOUR FRIEND IS A KEEPER
a ton of girls in my sorority said our house wasn't their first choice and they were disappointed, but ALL of them said theyre happy how it turned out. you might think you click SO HARD with certain girls in a sorority and end up in another one and not understand why, but once you know the houses and the general personality types of the other sororities, you'll be happy you ended up where you did and that they just knew youd fit.
ive talked to girls i LOVED--and still didnt recommend them back because i thought of my sisters and knew they wouldnt make those super close friends
what happens if no houses pick u? and also can you live in the house the first year you go, like im british and considering doing a year of college abroad in the us but it would only be for a year, so could you live in the house the first year?
@@pollymckinlay930 u dont really need a sorority house to get thru college but u could always try next year
@Polly McKinlay It depends on where you go but generally you can only live in the house after your 2nd year, since you spend at least a 3rd of your first year being a 'trainee/pledge', where you're not a full member yet. If you're only going to be abroad for 1 year I'd say don't rush because joining a sorority takes up A LOT of your time.
love that you didn’t sugar-coat it!!
I'm not even planning on joining a sorority lol what am I doing here??
Jena Ihrig quarantine took me here
I literally live in London no way am I joining one🤣
its 3 am and im bored lmaooo
@@jadamurray8183 ahhhh i live in edinburgh , but watching these kinds of videos makes me want to go for a year
Polly McKinlay fr omg😂
I’m really glad this was so honest cause I want to rush and everyone makes it seem so easy when it’s not and it reassured me everything will be okay
"I broke down crying and i could not stop..Im scared of the second round of cuts"
wow sororities sound like such wonderful and accepting places to be.
I hope you know it's similar to applying to a university or a major that does cuts every semester. These girls are applying to be in a nationally recognized sisterhood. There is going to be a process and yes you will be accepted in whatever sorority you land in.
I like the fact that your dorm friends and other friends branched out- it’s hard not to want to be in a sorority all of the friends you already have want
Maya, as a VT alumni and VT parent (I know, I’m not your average viewer), I applaud you on your honest viewpoint of rush. It is good see the bad and good. This will benefit more than you realize. Have a great time, and GO HOKIES!
i love that when showing their outfits, they pointed out if they got a good deal on them. it makes me so excited when someone asks me where i got something and i can tell them how good of a deal i got!
When I rushed at my school, we had to buy an outfit for everyday. I spent so much money it was unreal, I wish we just had t-shirts for the first few days like y’all
wait why can't you wear your own clothes that you own?
@@seaofag9752 you can, it just depends because there are different themes so when I did it i had to buy like two outfits, but I had the other two already
I had to drop out of rush at my university because I was just so confused as to how the conversations could feel so genuine but they would drop me. When I talked to the girl in charge of my group she literally just assumed it was because I didn't get my top which I did........ I knew it really just was not for me but this is such a different process. I think the best thing you can do is stay true to yourself and never compromise your values to be liked
same thing to me. it made me feel like everything was so not genuine. and even after when i thought i was still cool with some of the girls i clicked with, i would see them around after rush and they wouldnt even look at me like i didnt exist even tho they knew my name. KKG sucks lmfaoo
For sure. At the end of the day they should want you because you’re you
Proud of you. I’m going to be freshman and I’ve done a lot of thinking. I think I will join a bunch of organizations instead like: best buddies, dance marathon, etc
I really, REALLY wish women could rush like the frats do. It's so unfair.
I can't figure out how conversations with just a few girls are supposed to enable each "side" to make a decision. Who does the actual voting in the sorority? I have thought it would be a good idea to rush after the first year so you see how the organizations are involved
On campus and whether you would want to be a part of it.
i love how you kept it real and weren't afraid to show the dark parts of rush!! congrats on AXO!!!
ugh I love how raw this is. during rush I fell in love with a house and I thought they liked me too but I was dropped at the very end. I took a leap of faith and went for my second choice and it was the best decision I ever made and I can't imagine it any other way!! everything happens for a reason and you'll always end up where you're meant to be :)
the girl who always wears the earrings her mom made is awesome lol i love how proud she is to show them
Loved the fact that you’re so genuine about it. I’m from Europe so I had NO IDEA about all this!
MAYA hell yes this is the content that I love. I am 2 years out of college so I did rush in 2015 and felt the exact same way during that hellish process. I wish there was someone being this vulnerable online that I could have related to during it. Although I had never been at a lower point in my mental health than that week, I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. It helped me realize how strong I was and who I could turn to for a good cry lol. Keep on being a beautiful bad bitch
I cried a lot during rush. But I’ve been in my house for a semester and love it more than anything!
I'm like really introverted, and I really only have a couple of good friends and the rest are like close acquaintances/decent friends. I'm kinda scared about rushing cuz of all the people and socializing. Tips?
This was really helpful. I’m really stressed about rushing next year and it’s good to see how normal these kinds of emotions are
i’m so glad you were so real in this video❣️ rush is a super overwhelming process and literally every girl goes through these mental breakdowns lol, glad everything worked out for you!
I rushed for a sorority and I was also head over heels. When I was dropped like I cried so much because I didn’t fit there values or morals as I wanted to or I didn’t fit in. I decided to join another one that showed me my morals or that didn’t change me in a bad way but into a better person! I love how it turned out! There amazing, best girls I ever met, I’m so glad to call them my sisters. If one doesn’t work it’s for a reason! Really. Sometimes the first one or the one your heard over heels doesn’t work because you just don’t fit or it isn’t the one for you. You’ll find the one that is perfect for you and will accept you for who you are not who they want you to be
I love your vulnerability and transparency with everyone! It’s awesome to see someone open up about recruitment in both ways, absolutely amazing and draining it can be. It gets better in house with the support of your sisters!
I live in australia where sorroities and frats arent a thing and this seems like crazy!!!
🇦🇺Aussie here too....agree, it’s so different to our casual approach isn’t it 😃
you are so genuine and so sweet i just want to give you a big hug!
thank you for being YOU and being vulnerable girls going to rush needed this ♥️
Thank you for making such an honest and realistic documentation of rushing. I'm trying to decide if I want to rush next year and this was very helpful.
so thankful that you were real and emotional! some girls say its hard, but you really did let your colors fly and im so happy for you
this was the first rush video I got recommended for me, thank you for this! I'm a high school senior at an all girls school so I'm hoping being in a sorority will be like a taste of home for me when I go to college and this video is really comforting for me :) thank you!
It’s interesting watching these videos and kind of comparing and contrasting them to how rush works at my school. My personal experience: my school is kinda small so the rush process wasn’t as long and luckily for me it had a good result. I completely get the exhaustion and breakdowns though. Recruiting was so stressful and tiring at the end of the longest day I just started crying for NO reason. There’s so much happening on both sides it’s kind of insane we put ourselves through it. It’s refreshing to see someone documenting an experience that wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows
I clicked on your video just because I’ve randomly been binging sorority videos for absolute no reason 😂 I’m going to be a freshmen in uni next year but I’m really glad I clicked! You have a great personality :) it’s so good that you’re so real with this video
i live in richmond and i’m pretty sure i’m attending tech next year and i’m so thankful for all of your videos!!❤️
Aww girl, thank you for being so genuine. This definitely was good to hear, I’m planning on rushing next year, and it honestly seems pretty scary. Loved this video, congrats on AXO! Would love to see more sorority videos from you! ❤️
Ashley Miller i second that
Ashley Miller retweet
I applaud you for doing this ! It seems soo stressful . I did continuous open biding . And it’s so less stressful and more personalized as well as less chaotic . I don’t think I could’ve ever done actual rush/recruitment. I’m proud of you!!!
Thank you so much for being so genuine and honest! I'm so glad I came across your channel, it's so so helpful! :)
I really relate to this video! I rushed at UGA, and it was one of the most difficult experiences, but I love the sorority I'm in now! Thanks for making a realistic video that shows a more true version of how sorority recruitment really is
we have a similar thing in the netherlands and i understand you feelings soooo well! there are so many great moments, but because everything is so new and overwelming every small thing feels so huge and the tears just go everywhere.
it’s all about trusting the process so happy you found your home !
thank you sm for this real vlog. I'm rushing in the fall and I really needed this. :)
Rush week sounds rough
thank you for making a like REAL and truthful video so i can know what to expect!
I completely related to all of this, and thank you so much for such a honest, vulnerable portrayal of the process. This is so, so important for rushees because you're right, so many of these videos make everything seem smooth/easy/perfect fun, when recruitment is truly like boot camp and it's draining in every way.
I went in with an open mind, but quickly realized recruitment was going to get to me emotionally and physically. I ended up getting sick mid-way through and it really hurt my conversations because I was tired and didn't feel well. I also felt crushed by certain houses that dropped me and embarrassed by things I said and did (nothing was that big of a deal but looking back I cringe), and to this day, I feel sad about ones that dropped me and mistakes I made haha. It's something that just sticks with you and, especially as a young college student, can be a massive blow to your self-esteem. I too called my parents and cried multiple days from exhaustion and anxiety.
I'm an Alpha Chi too and I feel like I had a super similar experience as you. Wherever you feel comfortable is the right place for you and I'm so glad you are joining our sisterhood! I'm not a huge sorority girl at all but I saw this video on my home page and felt super compelled to watch it all the way through because I had a feeling it would remind me of my experience. Congrats!!
Cuuuuute! this is making me want to go back through rush all over again
you’re amazing ☺️
Congrats on AXO. It’s nice rush is a week for you guys. Rush is three days where I go.
I'm an Alpha Chi too!! love this video, so happy you're part of the fam. LITB!
Love this video. Rush was so stressful but honestly it’s worse on the sister side so you have that to look forward to next year! 😂
This is so much different than fraternity recruitment.
I hung out with the guys for a few weeks, got a bid and big brother, then I was initiated a few weeks after that. Very little stress on our end. But that was my own experience.
Congrats on AXO!!! I rush in 2 weeks ah!! Thank you for being so real with rush!!!
Ily so much your so strong you the best person in the world keep trying plz💕🥺🥰
Awe you gave me such big Alpha Chi vibes and I'm so excited for you, welcome to the fam! LITB
LITB!! So glad you found your home
Rush was super stressful for me, I go to a smaller campus and there are only 3 sororities. I was never a girly girl or seemed like the sorority “type” and after the first night 2 of the 3 dropped me, but I am so happy with the sorority I’m in, I’ve made so many amazing friends and already have a chair position! It’s the best decision I’ve ever made!
Im at western Carolina university and I rushed as well and i got AXO!!! so excited for you sister, our theme was nascar ❤️❤️ it was so cool to see the difference in how you guys ran home and your reveals, i loved it!
i’m in love with your channel sis😍
This is my favorite one of mayas vlogs and I always end up rewatching it
congrats on axo girl! hope you had a great week :)
Thank you for posting this. About to go through rush this weekend at a very small school, and I’m nervous. I don’t even know why.
I'm a Sigma Kappa, and I'm so glad you shared the tough parts of rush week! When I went through recruitment, I thought I was literally the only one who had bad days, but it worked out so well! I hope future PNM's watch this and can learn from your experience and know that the process always works out in the end!
ok but her eyes are GORGEOUS
omg you and your roommates relationship is precious
thank you for being so real about the whole process
This was the realest rush video I've seen! I'm so happy Maya, loved the videooo and really hope that you do well with your sorority! But that letter you wrote to yourself tho...just so inspiring and needed, hehehe
I’m so glad I rushed. I love all of my Tri Delta sisters 💕
I love all the outfits🤩❤️
this is why i’m glad i went to a school with a smaller greek community… i’m currently going through rush at USF and it’s one weekend of Friday-Sunday (spirit day and then two philanthropy days) and then a week break, and then Saturday-Monday (sisterhood, preference, bid day). i think that break in between really helps to reduce burnout. For me, I ranked my top 8 yesterday and this morning i got 5 back, including my top house:) next weekend it’ll be reduced again and i’m REALLY hoping to keep that top choice
I'm the philanthropy chair for my fraternity. It's dope.
this makes me kinda scared to rush.. is it worth it?
oh yes. definitely worth it in the end! i love my axo sisters❤️❤️
Heck yes! I prefer non-formal recruitment, but either way, I love the sorority I’m in. It’s an insanely great, supportive community!
macy martelli it’s completely worth it. I went from being home schooled and isolating myself from friends and a social life to having someone from Greek life to lean on in every inch of campus. The connections you make with your sisters and in Greek life will last a lifetime. Everywhere i turn, there’s someone who feels like home and I wouldn’t have had that if it weren’t for this process. It’s extremely hectic during recruitment but that’s about as hectic as it gets in a sorority. Rush week is intense and it feels almost impossible because of the jam packed schedule and classes but after that, you’ll get so much more. On spot adventures, study partners, mentors, big and little families, crafting fun, meeting and position knowledge and more. You get what you put in.
Recruitment (as it is called on the sorority side, we no longer call it rush) is a scary process, I’m not going to lie to you, but it can be an amazing experience. Most importantly you have to go into recruitment with an open mind. One thing to keep in mind with recruitment, is not all schools are the same. I highly encourage you to do some research on recruitment for the school you want to attend.
i will say that you do need to consider all the expenses. i ended up signing up for rush and then not even going cause i forgot that once you get into a sorority there’s an initiation fee that can be anywhere from like $700 to like $1k which is insane considering there’s also a $115 fee just to rush (and outfits to wear to rush + semester dues). i honestly don’t get how they justify charging that much money but yeah, very important thing to consider. i’m still sad i didn’t get to rush tho :(
Okay, so I rushed at the same time but at Roanoke and this makes me so happy bc I feel it so hard.
I am trying to decide if I want to rush this semester because I didn't last semester and I feel like my whole view on sororities is changing. I appreciated your honest depiction of rush week and it is good to know that it isn't as glamorous as it is made out to be.
I say just go for it! You said you never rushed before so videos won’t be the same experience/ every school and sorority has a different vibe and experiences. Even if u don’t end up in a sorority, at least u tried and u know what it’s like :)
this is so real and similar to my experience...LETS GO AXO!!
The awful things said about my sorority ended getting our charter pulled because no one wanted to join the so called ‘reject sorority’. Please ladies if you go through recruitment (on either side) don’t help spread rumors, all sisterhoods are valid. Pan love.
that’s awful! what rumors where people saying that made it get pulled???
Mew Twaila looks were very important, let’s just leave it at that. It’s the easiest reason I can give. Ate your whole pie was one of my favorite things said about us.
What does ate your whole pie mean
LITB!! ❤️💚
SO HELPFUL thank youuuuu
I'm gonna be rushing in a couple months and I'm sooo nervous. Thank you for making such an honest video:)
omg maya this was ~SUCH~ a roller coaster. crying and shitting in the club rn
Your so cute when you cry!
Your honesty is greatly appreciated. Welcome to Greek life and I hope you have a great time. Congratulations on being in Alpha Chi Omega, and I hope your experience will continue beyond your collegiate life into your alumnae life.
ahhh congrats from your axo sister at Syracuse!! girl i felt u rush was so stressful but glad it worked out!
GO AXO BABY, so happy to have you as a sister!! Rush sucks but it's all so worth it, LITB sweet girl :)
where r the sparkly jeans from!!!?? (the girl at the beginning was wearing them)
omg i was wondering the same thing
Ya me too I love them 😩
She said she didn’t know she got them three years ago
@@madon1017 no the girl with the flowers on her jeans said that. We mean the girl with the white boots!
It is so cool to see how other schools rush! I am a Theta at University of Idaho and rush was SO HARD. But completely worth it. Even though its so long and exhausting, rushing works so well to find the house that's meant for you! Panhellenic Love!
Julia Woods TLAM 💛🖤
Ashlyn Dunn ahhh fellow theta!! TLAM to you too ❤️
Welcome to the Sisterhood! LITB! Alpha Chi is the best!!!
ur eyes are so pretty lol ik thats not at all on topic but when you were crying they were so blue and sparkley
So appreciated
YESSSSS GO CHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Your so sweet lol, It warms my heart :)
when I was a freshman I went from 16 (all of them) to 3 the second day and then 1 for the last two days and I was MISERABLE all week I was so sad and like, nauseous and couldn't eat anything, and now four years later here I am still in that one from my last two days SHIT IS ROUGH BUT ITS FINE I FEEL YOU
litb!! ❤️💚
I feel like I would be the kind of person to change things I do and how I look to get people to like me and that kinda scares me
This is the realest video I've ever seen. Being on the other side this year I feel so bad knowing what the girls are going to go through but at the end you find your home!! Thank you for sharing your process!! So happy you find your home!!
I just watched some of Lauren Norris’ vlogs and am now watching this, and this is SO refreshing!!!! I love how real you are. You are not putting on some bubbly show for the camera and that is so nice.
Congratulations 👑❤
love recruitment!!
i go to uva and i would say our rush/recruitment process is very similar, i appreciate how open and honest you are, i would have loved to watch this before i rushed!
abigail18 i’m going to uva in the fall so it’s really helpful to hear you say that!
Lauren Basham congrats!!
I had a terrible rush experience and ended up in alpha chi and I love it so much ❤️ litb from New Jersey
Caroline Savage so no matter what you end up in a sorority
You seem so down to earth and nice. I hope I meet friends like you in college 😭
Congrats from an Indiana sister! LITB!! ❤️💚
I'm an AXO too!!!!! during recruitment I never expected to end up in the chapter I'm in, but so glad it worked out this way. welcome to the best sisterhood. LITB :)!!!
dats my baby
