Suzanne Short and Jenni Bryson understand rush from two unique perspectives-Jenni from the “inside-out” having been a member of a sorority and knowing how sororities recruit; and Suzanne from the “outside-in” having recently experienced “What’s the rush?” with her 3 college-bound daughters. Sorority Rush is complex, ever-changing, competitive and different at each college campus. “This is not your mother’s rush!”

Let Suzanne and Jenni help you gain confidence and learn more about this fun college tradition!

I just wanted to say thank you for all the information that you provided during your seminar.

My daughter completed recruitment yesterday. She got a bid to the sorority that she loved from Round 1 to the end. She had others that she liked and got discouraged when she was cut, but we both remembered some of your advice. It really helped to have those tips about clothing; what to talk about and not; and mannerisms. When she had a doubt we reviewed what you had shared and it confirmed what she was wearing and doing.

Thank you so much for providing this service. Recruitment was a stressful time for Mom and Daughter but in the end it really was worth it all and your advice helped smooth the way.
