Again, Try not to worry too much - I can tell you from experience as a pnm - collegiate - sorority exec - alumnae - and and advisor . . . WE ARE ALL HAVING THOSE CRAZY -

1) I woke up late and missed the first parties
2) I wore shorts to pref
3) I went to the wrong place to meet for recruitment
4) I spilled grapejuice on the sister/pnm

Dreams . . .

Heck I am an advisor and I still get nervous prior to recruitment - everyone wants to make a great impression on everyone else.

I doubt this helps you too much but misery loves company so I thought you might appreciate that we are all praying for you and want you to be happy no matter what happens. (I say you meaning 1) you and 2) all pnms)

Weird Dreams
 

Weird dreams always happen when you're nervous in an excited way I have found. I don't have weird dreams when my kids go on a road trip for example, but every single year, about a week before school starts and I start teaching, I have that one crazy ole dream. Even this year (year 16 on the job) with a new job as a counselor, 5 days before I go back, I have that one, crazy, strange, hilarious dream. Enjoy them, and laugh at them. It our body's way of saying relax, it will never be as bad as the dream."

Well they weren't so much bad dreams. One of them was about how I had to find a chopsticks wrapper before they'd let me into the house.

Okay - I think that officially qualifies as a wierd dream!!!:p (did you eat Chinese food before you went to bed?):)

Why am I even putting myself through this?
 

I had a dream that all my friends from highschool and new roomates all got into that same sorority that I really liked and I was left out :confused: :confused: That's the only dream I've had so far but it is my worst fear. I just want it to be over with and settled. I hope I don't regret rushing

Ok so rush starts tomorrow!:D Today I have an info meeting. Just wanted to give you all an update. Well I'm off to get my nails done. Wish me luck!

Haha! Me too!

go Aladin and Bambi. I just need to pick someone to root for so I feel invested in it! LOL. Good Luck!

Be true to yourself, if it's right, you'll know it. Do NOT be stressed out over cuts. sometimes one that cuts you, that you think you really like, you actually realize later it would be a disaster to be with those girls. Everything will be fine. Just remember our Greek system is great. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, if I had been DES or KLM. It doesn't matter.

Have fun during recruitment!

Alright you guys, I'm off to set 1. I couldn't sleep at all last night. A couple of disatrous things happened to me but i can't really reveal them cause they're kind of incriminating (maybe it'll make me memorable lol). There were so many girls last night and they were all gorgeous! Well, here I go...

good luck today!! have a blast!

Oh my gosh the first day was so amazing!:D Everybody was really nice and made me feel so comfortable. I almost kinda hope I'll get cut a little bit because all the chapters seem great and it would be hard to decide.
(I talked to about 5 girls in each house)
Today I visited:
Pocahontas - When I first sat down at this chapter I felt like I was in an interview. The first question I was asked totally put me on the spot and I kept stuttering as I tried to find a good answer. It turned out that the girl just wanted to know a lot about me and not such general stuff. When they were singing their door song some of the girls looked bored (I'm sure they were just tired but it turned me off).
The Little Mermaid - This was the first chapter I went to so I was pretty nervous. There were a couple awkward spots but they didn't even last more than a second, in fact I didn't have any awkward pauses in any of the houses we went to. I'd like to go back to this house to see if it was just nerves or if it's that we don't click as well as I thought we would.
Snow White - We had good conversation and nothing seemed forced but I couldn't really see myself in this house.
Beauty and the Beast - I didn't really know much about this house prior to today. When I first saw the girls I thought we'd have absolutely nothing in common, but this is the house I think I liked the most. We really seemed to click. The girls knew a lot about their sisters.
Peter Pan - I was really looking forward to this house and was a little disappointed. The first girl I talked to really didn't seem interested in me at all. She just asked the usually questions and didn't make an effort to spin it to other conversation. I felt like I was doing the work. I really liked the last girl I talked to and wish I had more time with her as we had a lot in common. I'd like to go back to this house to see if the first conversation was just a fluke.

I am so ridiculously excited for tomorrow, yay!

I'm so excited that you had a great time! Can't wait to hear about tomorrow-have fun!

good luck today!!
