RA: i do write out an agenda, and notes in what i like to call 'the notebook,' which contains our ritual as well as a list of initiates, signed and dated, and other information that we would like to pass down to members. but i need to the the secretary on the 'individual' agenda.

Anyways i write this update with a smile on my face because [after emailing about half the girls in the Coll. of Eng.], i got back about 6 emails from PNMs! :D i have hope that this number will grow since i only sent out the email today, and some people might not have had time to reply, or read their emails. WOOT! i am so excited! we went shoping for our decorations and ribbon for pins [sky blue and kelly green for pledges, and Indigo and Yellow for actives] we decided to do ribbon pins for all because i don't think its time or cost efficient to have pins made that we might only wear for a semester or two.

Recruitment starts in 2 days and Bid day is saturday! we will hold COB events at a later date.

i think i'm getting sick and i have 3 tests and 1 quiz this week.... not to mention recruitment.

edit: i found out that there is a girl interested in rushing that is from my High School! WOOT! :D that makes me super happy!

TODAY IS BID DAY!
 

Weds. and Thurs were info nights and we let people know what we are about and played this game called Either-Or...

Last night was Movie and Mocktails... We all dressed up Sex in the City-ish, We had mocktails [i made them :D] and watched a bid of the presidential debates.... then we went to my room and watched Sex in the City... Till 11:30. Later we called the girls telling them to meet and we'll provide lunch [they don't know whats going on ;)]

Today is bid day! We'll be extending bids to 6 lovely ladies. [making our total 11]
BUT..
about 14 girls are in a facebook group, because they couldn't come this week [there were tests for a lot of the science classes this week] and about 24 girls contacted me saying they couldn't make it this week but they were interested. So we've decieded to kinda do COB over the semester...

But anywhoo we're taking the girls on a picnic, and later tonight there is a short pledging cermony. :)

I'm really tired, but still really excited. I was talking to VP/Roomie about how NPC's have work/polsih week and they do skits and songs and chants and other stuff and she was like i bet its like this but 50 times more tiring but i bet they love it...
OFF TO THE PARK I GO!

jess, what wonderful news!! congratulations-now don't let those other girls who are interested slip away!

i posted our bid day pictures on the Bid Day Pics Thread but here is one of my favs.

Well done, Jess! Congratulations. :)

Hurrah! I'm excited for you!

JESS! Congrats!!!!!! :)

Congrats Jess! That's great news :)

What lovely ladies Jess! A big "Woot" to YOU! This has been a great journey and I'll look forward to reading more.

Great news!

What a lovely group of lady scientists! I love seeing women embrace a male dominated field!!!:D Best of luck with your first semester of activities, Jess.

so... one of our officers decided to take a "hiatus..."
so other than that everything is going well with cinderella...
pocahontas contacted us about the pause in communication, but we've decided to stick it through with cinderella....
i love love love the new members [i can't say that enough] they are so active and energetic. if it weren't for them i would have been pooped out/giving up already

chapter tonight! :D

Yeah! Good luck at chapter, with your new girls, finding a replacement officer, and with Cinderella!

so i just read like the last 5 or so pages of this thread and i am really really impressed! you started a sorority while taking engineering classes (my roomie is an engineer, she has to skip her classes to do her homework! she works like 24/7. it is insanity). i'm only an english major and i get stressed out when i have 1 paper coming up. lol. basically, you are pretty amazing :)

eh. i'm not amazing. i just hate having too much downtime in my schedule. I find that the more i'm involved in something, the better i do in school... its strange i know. But it's also my folly.... i have very little patience.
but thanks! :)

with that being said....
I filled my petition to affiliate with the national! :D
i just have to scan in some documents with signatures and we're all set [which i'm doing sometime tonight]....
i am so excited at how fast this is all going...

hopefully we can have a totally happy ending soon enough!
