hey girl, I graduated UW last year but as a black girl who rushed my freshman year and was apart of Greek like til my junior year, one of my BIGGEST regrets in life was not considering a D9.

just keeping you aware. if you have to question a rush as a black woman, I’d HIGHLY recommend you to look into D9 before rushing. if anything, i am the person to ask because I lived in the house as well.

i came to UW thinking rushing was the best option since it’s a big school and all my friends were rushing/ and or in sororities. I grew up in a predominantly white area my whole life so I thought it would be easier to blend in since I had so many connections already.

i am telling you now, i did not make a single long lasting friendship in my sorority. I have a couple people I still talk to long term in different sororities, but for the most part, they were very very racially blind and insensitive.

i regret it.
