At my school there was a general extracurricular festival the first week of the year, with the clubs and greek groups. You chatted with the greeks, then did rush later for those you were interested in.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
oh huh, well there you go.
I also thought some schools did not let people rush until second year.
At the University of Georgia sorority rush was the week before school started. But then, a lot of students arrived on campus knowing what they wanted, because of family members or older friends.
At Duke it was the start of second semester.
Hilariously, the one fraternity I looked into during rush turned out to be the university's Animal House equivalent. Let's just say there was a bit of a mismatch.
We had fraternity rush in the fall, but sororities didn't do it until second semester.
You guys, I've been meaning to buy some of that double-stick tape because my cat is tearing up my furniture, but then PetCo sent me a coupon for $30 off $100, no food included, so now I'm getting All The Cat Stuff delivered to my house. Because I couldn't bring myself to buy an enormous tower, I'm getting several other ridiculous items.
Yay cat stuff!
It took me a minute to remember what "rush" means in that context. Entirely outside my experience
Really starting to panic about the prospect of becoming a parent. There's so much to do, and figure out. Just, I worry all the time.
Worrying all the time is great preparation for being a parent. Seriously though, Allyson, you're going to be a wonderful mom.
That sounds normal, Allyson. You're gonna be great
You'll figure it out. And what you think you can't, you'll wing it & that will be fine. Sometimes hard & terrifying & worrying, but she'll be loved & safe & you will see to that.
