First of all-- Congratulations on getting married!! I hope that your wedding turns out to be everything you always dreamt it would be!

Secondly-- Meet the Greeks was last night. For some reason, everything got pushed back by a few nights (with the exception of recruitment itself). According to our Panhellenic member (whos name will be withheld), there were 286 girls who came in the two hours that it was held. They expect about 150 more. I am not sure who, of these people, have paid their registration fees. My roommate and I passed by outside on our way back from the library and sneaked a peek from an inseen location. It looked like everyone was having a ball!

Im so eexxcccciiitted!

As always, L*

LOL, that's one thing I would never do. I think I am the worst rusher in my chapter's history!

MoxieGrrl: Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I'm so excited for you and I know it will be wonderful :)

Kddani: Speaking of weddings, I had a dream last night that you got married! :eek: I don't remember much other than you and me and Sheila were walking to that Cathedral on 5th (St. Pauls, I think?) and you had a big, fluffy, Princess Diana-type dress on and we were trying to keep the dress from dragging on the sidewalk. No more GreekChat before bed for ME! lol

LMAO! That's such a funny mental picture! Was it a hunky navy man that I was marrying???

Moxiegirl, I wish you every happiness in your upcoming marriage.

kddani, I also wish you happiness in your dream-like marriage! :D

SAD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Figured since this is the thread that every Pittsburgh area GCer reads.....

rumor has it that Sombrero Man has passed away :(

For those of you not familiar, this was a "homeless" guy who was always on the streets asking for change, and his trademark was a Sombrero. He's an Oakland icon.

Sombraro man and Pitt News
 

I can assure you that sombrero man is not dead. I saw him yesterday asking for some change. I can’t tell you how relived I was to see him, although I noticed that he seems to have retired his sombrero.

In other news…

The Pitt news covered our Greek auction… The news coverage is still skewed as you can read. The SigEp that did it was spoofing Party Boy from “Jack ass” He wasn’t just running around in his boxers.

Okay, how the hell did I not hear about this? Eric Nies was hosting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????? ?????????????????? Granted, he's getting up there in the years, but he's still hot.

I'm really pissed that I never found out about this!:mad: hahahaa

That sounds so fun! I would have loved to have seen it :)

Can someone tell me how long Greek Week has been held in the fall? It used to be in March (see what I mean, Sheila? The times they are a changin' :( )

I heard that the events have been split up so that they're all through the school year, instead of having just one week. I can't imagine that it would be much fun doing it that way, though. I mean, it's called "Greek Week", not "Greek Year"!

i don't know why they call it "week". it's a bunch of different events stretched out the ENTIRE F'IN YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's officially over the first Saturday night in April which is the greek week formal.

Greek Week is infact held over the entire year. The reason being that it helps split up the cost and time commitment so that people with jobs dont have to take a week off. Its actually not that bad except You never actually interact with a sorority outside of greek sing. You match with a different sorority for each event so for greek sing you are extreamly involved but for greek auction you dont even speak untill the night of.

Funny, that doesn't sound like the least bit of fun to me. :(

More positive publicty for Greeks
 

Hey guys. Theta Nu Xi held a lecture on women's cross cultural relations called Divided Sisters. The lecture was given by the two authors, Dr. Midge Wilson and Kathy Russel, and even though only 8 people came to the event besides the 5 sorors that were there we had a great time.

Here's an article the Pitt News did. They called us a society instead of sorority though....:rolleyes:

Latest rumor
 

Heard today a rumor that they might increase total to 65 before the spring comes?

And something about spring rush being a "structured COB", whatever the heck that is.

Any info?

Re: Latest rumor
 

I don't have a Green Book, but I thought total can only be raised before formal rush. I could be wrong - it's been a while.

We had structured COB when I was in school. It's basicaly the same, only with a semi-final & a pref party run by Panhel.

How many sororities are more than 10 off total?
