So what does recruitment week actually look like at Oklahoma State, day by day, when you’re living it?

In this episode of Rush Talk, Brooke and Chloe break down the real timeline (and the real emotions) behind what everyone still calls "rush." From the awkward-but-important Zoom open house round to move-in day chaos, philanthropy round, sisterhood round, preference, and the confetti-flying sprint to Bid Day, we walk you through what happens and when.

You’ll hear how recruitment has changed since Brooke’s OSU days (yes, there were door chants, snacks you couldn't leave with, and even full-on skit day costumes), and what still stays the same: the heat, the exhaustion, and the pressure to keep your smile on even when your face is tired. We also talk about cuts (why they’re usually not personal), how moms can support without spiraling, and the underrated practical stuff like Wi-Fi, crickets in the dorms, and why everyone gets sick after recruitment.
