I remember being in a department store dressing room with a bunch of other UCF sorority new members that I didn't know and throwing whites over the dressing room doors to one another as we frantically searched for a decent fit!

One of my alpha class sisters (teeny tiny girl!) ended up buying a children's size 12 white dress for our ceremony--- she looked like a doll in that little white dress!

Plus, it's tough to put UF and UVa/W&M in the same category, because the latter two have ALWAYS been highly selective...UF's only gotten that way in the past four years or so. In my IB class, most people felt as if admission to UF was owed to them. I think everyone knows better to do that with UVa/W&M.

I applied to W&M, and UF, but turned both down. Liked them, but not enough to turn down my dream school. Alum, I'm sure you'd approve...:rolleyes:

actually,they'd be lucky if they went there-i don't know of a more panhellenically minded campus than ucf.
