  • #17 Before You Sign MRABA, Listen to This: The Truth About SIP, COB and Bid Day Surprises
    Jul 1 2026

    Pref is over, emotions are high, and suddenly everyone is talking about MRABA, SIP, quota additions, snap bids and COB like you were supposed to already know what all of that means.

    This week on Rush Talk, Brooke and Chloe break down one of the most confusing parts of Oklahoma State sorority recruitment: what happens after preference round and before Bid Day. They explain what MRABA actually is, why it is a binding agreement, what your daughter is agreeing to when she ranks chapters, and what it means if she only wants one house.

    Returning guest Kaylee Holt joins the conversation with her perspective as a former Gamma Chi, helping unpack Bid Day curveballs like quota additions, chapter total, fall COB, snap bids and single intentional preference. The episode also gets into what happens if a PNM is released from recruitment, why grades can matter, why COB is not always a guaranteed backup plan, and how families can think through the emotional side of the decision.

    It is insider, honest and full of the kind of information moms and PNMs wish they had before Pref night. Listen before you sign anything.

  • #16 What Chapters Are Really Looking For on Preference Day
    Jun 24 2026

    Preference Round is the final round before Bid Day, and yes, it really is as emotional as everyone says.

    In this episode of Rush Talk, Brooke and Chloe break down what actually happens during Preference Round at Oklahoma State, why the tone shifts so much, and how PNMs should think about those final conversations. They talk through the OSU Preference Day schedule, what to wear, how dressy is too dressy, and why comfort still matters when you are trying to feel polished and confident.

    This episode also brings in Kaylee Holt, a 2023 Oklahoma State graduate, former Tri Delta chapter president and former Gamma Chi, to share her perspective from every side of recruitment. Kaylee helps explain what chapters are listening for during pref, how final lists are made, why being honest matters, and why PNMs should still keep an open mind even when they think they already know their choice.

    Brooke and Chloe also cover what not to say, how to talk about loving a chapter without sounding desperate, and why the matching process is truly mutual selection. Listen before Preference Round so you can walk in prepared, reflective and steady.

  • #15 Sisterhood Round Is Where the Big Cuts Happen
    Jun 17 2026

    Sisterhood round is where recruitment starts to feel real. The T-shirts are gone, the outfits get dressier, the conversations go deeper, and both PNMs and chapters are trying to answer the same question: could I actually see myself here?

    In this episode of Rush Talk, Brooke and Chloe break down what sisterhood round looks like during Oklahoma State sorority recruitment. They talk about what to wear, including game-day-inspired outfits, orange and black, boots, sneakers and sandals and the importance of bringing shoes you can actually walk in. They also explain what chapters are really evaluating during this round, from values and friendship to whether you seem genuinely interested in that chapter or just Greek life in general.

    You’ll hear what kinds of questions PNMs should expect, how to answer with depth without sounding rehearsed, why vulnerability can help, and what questions to ask members to figure out if the sisterhood is real. Plus, they share one of the biggest insider tips of the season: sisterhood round is a huge cut night, so make sure chapters know you want to be there.
