GREWING READY WITH ME (GRWM) posts are always so fun to share because they let me bring you along on personal journeys like my recent URI rush. I remember feeling a mix of nerves and excitement leading up to rush. Preparing meant carefully choosing outfits that reflect my personality yet fit the Greek life vibes perfectly. It was helpful to incorporate beauty staples from brands I trust – Glow Recipe for glowing skin, YSL Beauty and Charlotte Tilbury for makeup that lasts through the stress, and Tweezerman for precise grooming. The rush events themselves were a whirlwind of meeting so many new people, learning about each organization’s values, and figuring out where I felt the best fit. I loved how each sorority had its own unique energy – some focused more on community service, others on social events, and many on academic support. This experience really deepened my appreciation for Greek life beyond just social activities. It’s about forming meaningful bonds and building a supportive network. If you’re thinking of rushing, here’s a quick tip: be authentic. Genuine conversations and being yourself go a long way. Also, prepping your skin and makeup ahead of rush days can boost your confidence. I loved products from Drunk Elephant and Rhode Skin for skincare routines that keep my face fresh and radiant. Kylie Cosmetics and Chanel Beauty helped me achieve looks that were both natural and polished. Overall, rushing was an amazing time of self-discovery and fun. I can’t wait to rush again with a more focused mindset and share more updates with you all!
