Good luck today, thanks for the update!! Can't wait to hear how today went!

So I got a call from my rho this morning while I was drivig to school and couldn't really pick it up. I have four houses today & don't need to be at UCF till 12:30. Great. I'm thinking this means one of my top four cut me and I'll be visiting grease instead of jaws. I'm not going to lie, I was kinda expecting it. I'm a sophomore and a grade risk, so I've expected heavy cuts after day one the whole time. I'll find out at 12:30. One good thing though is that this gives me time to eat breakfast and ~*maybe*~ read a Sookie Stackhouse book. Lol. I hope the other UCF pnms are getting invited back to all of their houses!

Good luck, krrrristen, and remember - it only takes ONE. Keep your confidence up, and enjoy your day today. As a Wise Woman posted on another thread (I'm paraphrasing now), think of this as your first day and these are your four choices, because for you - it is, and they are (hoping someone will step up and quote correctly). Those four chapters see something in you they want, so go for it!

I have already used that quote last night with my dd! Love it! btw, I used in reference to volleyball and will repeat it this morning when I drop her off:)

Thanks ladies. I'm trying to think of it as more of a "these seethe four who like you the most" rather than "the other 6 hated you". Like I said, I was basically expecting it, though definitely not to thus degree. I feel like I'll go back and find where I belong easier as well.

Here is my idea of the houses I'll be at today.

Paper Moon
Close Encounters
Jaws/Rocky
Grease

I'm probably being way annoying with these posts today but I have to figure out a way to occupy my time on my phone =P

Good luck, Kristen! Keep your chin up, smile and keep those posts coming!!

Kristen, it has been said here before,and important to remember, look at each of these houses with " fresh new glasses" . Think of today as the first day of recruitment with these four houses.... be interested, be yourself, and know this can be your absolute BEST day of recruitment!
Smiles!

Kristen you have the right idea! Keep positive and as other posters said take this as your first day in rush. Give all these houses a fresh look today. Good luck and keep the faith!

Stay positive! Excited for your next update :)

Just got my list. Heading back to rocky horror, grease, & taxi driver.

Oh, the other one was just where you thought you would be invited back to. I understand.

Get out your fishnets, Pink Lady jacket and hot pants/floppy hat and you're set for this round! ;) Good luck!

After reading through the thread I was cheering for Jaws :( Oh, well. Good luck - I'm excited to hear how it turns out, especially since I'm in the area!

Good luck today!!

Totally rooting for Grease :) Hope your having fun!

Thanks so much for helping me through the morning. I am so glad that I didn't have to pick one to drop today, I ended up loving all of them so much and can't imagine not going back to any of them tomorrow. So here goes Philanthropy Day!!

Rocky Horror was the first house I went back to this afternoon. I was really relaxed and my first rusher and I had a lot in common. Our conversation was really easy and I had lots of fun doing the craft with her. The second girl who rushed me was kinda awkward, but we were sitting at tables and one of my rushers from the day before was there so we talked a lot as a group.

Grease was where I went next, and I'm so happy that I got to go back. Everything that I had thought badly about them yesterday was totally wrong. I've gotten along really well with all the ladies from here. After today I can totally see myself in this house, something that was totally unfathomable yesterday.

Finally...

Taxi Driver was amazing. Their philanthropy is great--something I really feel strongly about-- so I was able to really connect with the sisters when we were talking about that. Everyone I have met in Taxi Driver has been really nice to me and very genuine. As of right now, I'm hoping I run home to Taxi Driver Saturday, but I know now that nothing is set in stone at all.

I was so frazzled thinking I only had been matched with four other sororities that when I found out I really only had matched three I was really sad. I talked to my Rho Gamma when I got there today and she helped me out a lot. She said the same things y'all did, but looking at it on the screen and hearing it out loud while watching the person tell you their story about how they were cut from their favorites is totally different. I 100% love my Rho and I feel like I was destined to be in her group, as cheesy as that sounds. I was really glad I didn't have to drop any today because I love them all so much now. I (obviously) have a favorite, but I can see myself being happy at any of the houses I have left. I'm glad I don't have to be the one to choose =P

what great news krrrristen. we are all pulling for you!

kristen,

It sounds like you lucked out with a wise Rho Chi. I'm so happy you loved all 3 groups today. I got to say, I'm really proud of the way you are keeping an open mind and heart even when you are going through disappointments. Good for you. You must have been raised right. I'm hooked on the post so don't forget us.

Do you mind me asking who your Rho Gamma is? Im so curious lol. I am so glad you are having such a positive attitude and making the most of all your houses. I know you will do great the rest of recruitment if you keep being so positive. Good luck tomorrow!

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I think your outlook is so positive and am pulling for you!

Glad to hear your Rho Chi is being there for you and that you LOVE the chapters you have! So excited for you krrrristen!

I'm glad you had such a great day today!! Sending you lots of warm wishes throughout the rest of the week!

Can't wait for Saturday! <3

Good luck today, Kristen!

OMG!!! I just got a call from my Rho Gamma and I'm going in for "four parties" like I did yesterday (I ended up just having the 3 parties plus a break where I got to go inside one of the buildings and chill out). I really hope I got invited back to all three!!!

Thanks everyone for your support! As much as I like going to all of the different houses, I can't wait for it to be Saturday so I can run home!

<3

How exciting! Keep us posted!!

I hope you have a fun day and make some great memories! :)

Since Jaws is out of the running, I'll have to go for Taxi Driver. Good luck!!! I'm excited to see where your run to on Saturday!

So I don't have to make any decisions. I'll update later.

Kristen, is everything ok?

yay Kristen, yay yay yay. Happy news. There are THREE chapters that want you. Have fun, keep shining.

I'm already back home from today's party. Yeah, just one. I was invited back to Grease, which on the first day was in my bottom two. However, after watching the video today and talking to even more ladies I can tell this is where I was meant to be. After all of the issues I had on the first day deciding whether or not I could, in good conscience, join this sorority, I'm glad to say my misconceptions have been corrected. I'm debating going ahead and telling y'all what sorority it is, but I'd like to hear what your guesses are first =P

Hope y'all are having a good day. I was having trouble being positive when I first saw my party list but I'm alright now. My Rho Gamma is REALLY the best.

Kristen, I know it's been said a lot, but you have a great attitude! You're a great example of how impressions can change. I wish you the best of luck!!! I hope to read a great Bid Day post!

It just takes one! :)

Glad to hear that you are being so positive about your recruitment experience. Best wishes for the rest of the week!

Kristin- I am so impressed with your positive attitude. I am so pulling for you to get a bid to Grease!

I have no clue how I'm going to think about anything else until I find out if I got called back to go to Grease again tomorrow night for prefs. I want this so badly, and everytime I feel like it's going well and I am clicking with people I get totally rejected. I hate not knowing how this is going to end. D=

Kristen,
I'm glad you are finding a home at UCF! I'm counting down the days for Saturday for you, so I know you're probably going stir crazy! Lets go Grease!

GOOD LUCK with Grease!! You'll do great, stay positive!

continued good wishes winging their way to you.

Loving this story!! GO KRRRISTEN!!

I don't understand why Grease was one of the bottom 2 when you had such a great time with them. Good luck tomorrow!!
