This is the reality of rushing Arizona [Applause] State this is what you look like the back of my shirt is wet I am dripping [Applause] sweat hello everybody today we’re going to be exposing the real ASU recruitment we’re not exposing but we’re just going to talk about our experience we had no
Clue what to expect going there’s like always Tik toks of like do this and you don’t do this and say this and you can’t say this we’re here to tell you all the truth everybody goes and watches a video that each sorority makes kind of describing a little bit about their
Philanthropy a little bit about their Sisterhood after you watch every single one with like a giant group of girls you go on the companion app and you rank I think you just put your bottom three bottom three you’re not necessarily dropping them cuz you could still get them back it’s just like your
Preferences it’s lower on your preference you start out with 12 and then you’ll get nine back for philanthropy and they’re dropping you based on your application your slide grades so that’s yeah that’s what the rumor is the rumor is that once the P&M submit their bottom three the houses go
Through and they look at your all about me slide that was like the rumors that it’s all about your slide and they literally just look at the slide and they’re like no yes we didn’t know that the slide was going to be that important well I just thought that you went to
Every house for one round at least cuz you don’t have a chance to talk to them they don’t know your personality it’s just a slide any social media also has a big role I think before even signed up for registration I had a few houses follow me and presidents follow me and
Just girls in the sorties follow me because that’s all they’re doing is going through finding who’s coming and they’re wanting girls to rush yeah so your social media has got to be like you want it to be a good image of yourself the first round you watch those videos
You submit your bottom three it’s like a mutual drop so if like those same same three also dropped you then you wouldn’t go to any of those but say you have three that you put as your lower preference and only two of those dropped
You and so you have to go back to house you put as a bottom preference also video round very casual you don’t actually see anyone you strictly just watch videos back to back to back hello everybody it is day two of philanthropy round and this is what I’m
Wearing I’m so excited I have five houses back to back to back to back and my top three are in this lineup today so kind of nervous but I know I’m going to kill it and it’s going to be so good wish me luck you had to wear a t-shirt a
Panh helenic t-shirt and philanthropy was two days back to back so your schedule’s split up in between those two days so if you got nine houses back depending on whatever your schedule is you could have like four and five or 8 and one like you don’t really know this
Is what was frustrating is we had no idea obviously how any of this works so basically what we’re told by our rogam group you’re going to go to this community center this meeting spot at 8:00 a.m. and when you get there is when you find out your philanthropy round
Schedule when you get your schedule you could not have you’re not meeting with your first house until say 1:00 p.m. 400 p.m. 900 p.m. or you could be lucky and have one like super early in the morning so the frustration is you get all ready it is freaking hot here it melts your
Makeup ruins your hair like 112 every single day and what’s frustrating is you go at 8:00 a.m. already and you could possibly not meet with your first house until way later in the day but we both got lucky we both had an early one right yeah there were some girls that like
Would get there and just Asus campuses like they have the west campus the downtown so those people would have to commute get there at 8:00 a.m. and then be told like hey they just have to sit there all day yeah you don’t have anything till 5: okay so F3 round was 30
Minutes and there’s usually a presentation so you’re not like talking for 30 minutes straight I was definitely shocked when I got in line for my first house and I hear the chanting and the clapping and the screaming cuz I didn’t think think they did that at ASU I just
Thought that was like a movie thing they do it here they carry on those Traditions it’s definitely a thing so be ready for that it’s very over stimulating at first the recruiter that you’re talking to they got to talk loud you got to talk loud you get used to it
After all the rounds at some of the sororities it was people that had similar interests as you based on your application but some I think was just randomized or I don’t know how they really do it some of the girls like they’d be like what is something you really love and
I’d be like I love the ocean and this girl would be like oh my gosh I love the ocean it’s nice when the sorties do that and they pair you up on purpose because outside of the house before you go in you do get lined up in a specific order
Most pair you with a person with similar interest or like I met a few girls that were from Ohio too met some Texas people with the same name as me was common when I go things like that and that’s nice that they do that because then gives you
Something to talk about gives you something to talk about yeah FL is like the shortest one and I feel like honestly most of it is like an introduction of yourself it’s the usual like your name where you’re from you’re major what dorm you’re staying in how it’s moving questions like that usually
So once you’ve talked for a while another sister will come over and Crouch down so nice to meet you they’ll be like it’s so nice to meet you and then they like switch um chairs and the previous ones you’re were talking to gets up and
Leaves and you talk with a new sister so it’s nice to talk to multiple different ones also it’s nice because sometimes you don’t Vibe with one girl but then you get like refresher and then it’s like oh okay okay okay yeah so they play videos about their philanthropy and just
Kind of explain it and there’s no like deep questions at all it’s very surface level so the next round is Sisterhood and Sisterhood is also a 2-day span and it’s the same frustrating process where you don’t get your schedule until you go to the meeting spot at 8:00 a.m. and
This time you’re in dresses and heels Sisterhood is 40 to 45 something around there it’s longer Sisterhood is six houses some people don’t have a full like roster like you could only get three back and then you just have three houses to go to we were dra dropped from
One that we both really felt that we had a connection with philanthropy round we were dropped from them for sisterhood round and that’s the other thing do not get your hopes on based on what they say to you yeah should we like yeah I was dirty rushed many times in multiple
Different sororities yes when you hear something and then you open your phone the next day and you’re like oh so that’s just when they’re getting your hopes up and then they don’t follow through with like what they were saying so just be prepared that could be a
Possibility I mean yeah they just talk about sister they asked me a lot of like what do I look for in a friendship what do I want out of a Sisterhood why do I want to be a part of a Sisterhood you Lear about like Sisterhood events about
Their values yeah their values and what puts them apart from others basically after Sisterhood you submit three for preference round preference round you meet with two and they’re both 50 minutes long once you hit preference someone in the sorority has to pref you like they have to be like I want to talk
To that girl like it’s very specific so it’s like a familiar face which makes it like more comforting than the others yes and excuse that um preference round be ready for like the rituals and traditions that scary though it’s not scary they do it they follow their
Rituals the only person you talk to is the girl that preed you so hopefully you have a connection with that girl I know I definitely did with both the girls that preed me I love them both it was definitely a very hard decision for me after with meeting with both these girls
And if you’re like naturally indecisive person like me like crazy cive she been indecisive since day it’s actually like even like sixth grade at Target I was like I I don’t know what to doit contemplating literally contemplating every purchase like she’s very indecisive so this going be a really
Hard decision yes it’s hard to get dropped when you felt so like at home in that place and so then I feel like sometimes you just like close out the other options when don’t do that yeah I got to be open I lost my train of FL
What was I just about to say cuz you’re very indecisive oh yes I always felt like this is like a big decision you’re paying dues you’re doing all these events and like once you’re in like you can drop out obviously do you really want to do that
Yeah and once you do that you can’t can’t read right so it was hard F just talking there was like two houses that like one of them I had a good and bad the other one I had a good and bad so I’m like well I don’t know what to do
Cuz like I’ve had really great experiences and then I’ve had one that’s like uh wasn’t a Vibe it just wasn’t good at all I was actually kind of scared it’s okay you really didn’t Vibe with one that’s completely fine really didn’t Vibe yeah but basically I was
Indecisive and at the end I was like very stressed out like about to drop out of recruitment because I couldn’t make a decision so just follow but she ended up yeah so it really comes down to like talking through like is this your home
Is this where I want to be do you share the same values as these other girls do you love this energy so after preference round you submit which one is your number one which one is your number two do you want to say what you did you can
Also suicide B everyone says do not suicide B and I don’t really understand why suicide bidding instead of picking a one and a two you’re just one or nothing yeah which at my pref I vibed with one and just didn’t with the other like I
Knew it just wasn’t me so I was like I don’t want to not get my top bid and then be stuck with something that I don’t like it worked in my favor all I’m saying is that if you have a gut feeling just do what you want so yeah but then
Day came you don’t run home from like a crazy location it’s right in the glv bid day was great on my bid day it was so fun we like took party buses to the secret like Castle location super cute super fun many activities then we go
Back how was your bid day it was great went to like a wedding venue situation they had like BCE house cute Decor you got to meet new people just all around good time the day very good time yeah here it’s very different the southern schools it’s the same kind of
Style because that’s what you have to do here you’re encouraged to express yourself you wear what makes you feel comfortable obviously you dress to like the standard the standard of like what you should be wearing for each round you have so much creative freedom with it there’s not like a certain way that
You’re like oh my gosh I need to dress like this if I want to get into this house I need to dress like this it is so not like that I mean at least I ran home to a and I knew it based off the energy going with that even like conversations
Here are different the conversations that were the best for me were the ones that we talked about something random it was like what’s your favorite restaurant oh my gosh you tried that place like I want to go there so bad straight up multiple girls told me they were like I
Don’t care about your GPA I don’t care about your grades I don’t care about what you did in high school just tell me about yourself all the things that you see on Tik talk that it’s like don’t say this don’t say this there’s obvious things you don’t say partying you don’t
Talk about boys like time and place time and place and you did it at my birthday dinner um yeah don’t do any that crap basically what we’re trying to say is that it is not as scary okay I think we should talk about juicy stuff so my
First topic is I’m obviously not going to name who but there are Tik tokers that are well known in multiple different sororities here I talked to one of them it was a great experience she didn’t come off as a she was very kind very well spoken if you’re a
Tik tocker there’s obviously going to be so many rumors about you the rumors were that she was scary that she’s not like a girls girl she’s not nice stand up offish kind of yeah but I just didn’t have that experience at all I had a great experience talking to her which
Also brings me into go into everything with an open mind like don’t let others opinions get in your head I feel like that’s when you start like questioning and questioning when you’re like oh she had this experience but I had this experience well you’re two different people you can have two different
Opinions you get fed information rumors things from like 6 years ago that happened Y Yak there’s like oh yeah Yik Yak is crazy here don’t let it like flood your mind oh my gosh so many rankings year this is like one of my number one things that I talk to
Especially during pref round is I was like because my best friend’s Maddie we both had these conversations with sisters and because it was it was crazy but signs wow signs that we should like go our own separate ways also if you know anything about our story we’ve gone
Separate ways in the past and we came back together we are unstoppable but basically we just didn’t know because we knew that we were going to head down different sority paths here it’s like it’s very communal the girls told me how CU you can live in those houses the
Girls told me how like no like my best friend is in a different sority and she comes over and she does like our sister events with us everybody’s just so welcoming once I heard that kind of stuff I was like okay now I have no fear about being separate from Maddie and
Each be in our own houses and honestly I enjoy better double the events D opportunity we can bring each other to our formals as dates like so fun like just the other night a frat invited only two sororities about um an event that they were doing and I brought Maddie
With me they they want girls they don’t care and also what they do here is they split it up here it’s like on the weekends so you have like open house and Pho Round on one weekend the next weekend you’ll have Sisterhood prep and bid day so you have like a week in
Between of and that week in between is dry week no alcohol do not be seen at a bar oh my gosh I heard a story this girl was out at a bar was taking shots with these girls that are in a sorority and she was rushing them and wanted to be
Part of their sorority and she wondered why she got dropped the next round girl no frats are throwing you’re not missing out on anything no frats are throwing once bid day hits it’s wet week and you’re good to go all the frats are throwing you’re fine all the frats are
Throwing I think that’s that’s it that is all our knowledge on recruitment that’s how ASU recruitment went for us I guess if you have any more questions just ask them in the comments and I will respond to you overall great process don’t be nervous yeah if you plan on
Rushing I hope you find your forever home maybe you’ll be an A or a DG and we can be sisters all right that’s it bye I love you guys I missed the old Kanye stra from the go Kanye chop up the soul Kanye set on his gos Kanye I hate the new Kanye
