How nerve racking!
We get a lot of interesting topics on FB about what we expect of our "pledges". What we want them to do and how demanding we are. How the process takes up allllllll of your time and you never see your family again and life doesn't exist when you're "on line" and omg ... omg ... what to do!
Well...
We don't have "pledges". We have "rushees" or what we like to call "gems". These elite ladies will go through a process, one of which they know about from Rush Week to Gems Week to the end. Our Gems class will comprise of various tasks that test how you react in a group setting to challenges while you're HAVING FUN!
Here is what you can expect;
✓ We don't have a "pledges".
✓ We don't make you look ridiculous.
✓ We follow the true meaning of being their for you sister by ACTUALLY putting you in situations that will show your character within the confines of SL.
✓ We don't make you have a ridiculous notion that anyone is better than the rest simply because they can do something you can. IE; dj, build, take photos. You're ALL individually precious because our Gems are women of upstanding character.
✓ We don't have a "Pledge Master", that anyone answers to. Are you slaves? (No offense to any slaves out there.) But to put it simply, we are not your mistress's(No offense to any mistress's out there). We are your guides to the world of Greekdom.
✓ We don't make you complete POINTLESS tasks. Hanging pretty pictures and dancing in a circle is cool and all.... BUT.... how does that tell us who YOU are. From that all I can tell is; your favorite color is red and you have some really provocative dances. *golf claps*
✓ Did you know that Pearl VictoriaRose bought so many castles from one of SL's OLDEST, builder of 9 years, fantasy builders that she now gets all of his new releases free of charge? Did you even know she loved castles? Not to worry. When you go through our Gem Class, you will have the space and time in a relaxed setting to get to know each and every potential member on an individual bases.
✓ Take your game face off and put your relaxed face on. This is not a battle to see if you can complete our tasks but a journey to walk side by side with your own personal "Big". You and that member will have chances to talk and she can assist you with anything you need.
***************************** RL NPC GREEK FACT *****************************
THE IDEA OF A "BIG SISTER" WAS NOT TO PLACE SOMEONE ABOVE THE OTHER. IT WAS A QUASI- LITERAL STATEMENT. THE "BIG" IS THE MAIN POINT OF CONTACT AND ADVISOR TO THE "LITTLE". THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE "BIG" AND THE "LITTLE" IS SO CLOSE THAT THEY OFTEN BECOME VERY CLOSE FRIENDS FOR LIFE. FROM THIS, "BIG/LITTLE" PADDLES/TRINKETS ETC. HAVE BEEN MADE AND GIVEN AS TRADITIONAL GIFTS.

✓ Ready to choose? RUSH Week is a week dedicated to showing our best face to potential members so that YOU can choose us. Confused? Please refer to "'Ahhhhh', says the intelligent woman, 'I think I want to pledge?! What do I do!?'", post.
Overall, this is what you can expect,
✓ Fun
✓ Challenges
✓ Sisterly Bonding
✓ Personal Team Building
✓ Good Conversation
✓ EQUALITY
✓ Sisterhood
We are not a organization of builders or djs or photographers. We're simply women who want to bond with other women who have a love of sisterhood!
We hope these posts have been helpful!
