OMG MS MOX!!! I am soooooo happy for you, my heart just JUMPED into my throat when I read this!!!

I am so looking forward to the rest of your recruitment, you're such a trooper! :):):):)

kappaloo 08-18-2003 08:31 PM

aaaah!

**does the happy dance**

WhiteDaisy128 08-18-2003 08:36 PM

Yay! I'm so happy you ended up being able to attend parties! I know it's really stressful, and you have so many other things to think about and worry about - but remember, hopefully soon you will have sisters to share your troubles with! It's said that having sisters doubles the fun and divides the troubles! So belive that! I love my DG sisters and they truly are my anchors when I am in need...so enjoy recruitment and keep us up to date! I can't wait to hear the rest!!

bsp-mich24 08-18-2003 08:38 PM

Yay-- they let you go thru rush. :D I hope you get invited back to all 6 houses!:)

Great so a sorority is like math? I just thought that was cute and had to call you on it. Double the fun and divides the troubles... I like that.

WhiteDaisy128 08-18-2003 08:45 PM

Well I mean, yeah, it's true though...more people to celebrate and have fun with (doubles your fun) and more people to share problems with (divides your troubles)...

Don't make fun of my sorority math!! :p

Too cute... and so true!!

Im not making fun of your math. i think it cute. It makes sence too. I am just hoping that I will have the chance to double m fun and divide my troubles.

Sorority math. That kinda like a carnation nation. It goes hand in hand.

If I offended you I am sorry.

(edited for type-o's and to add)

Oh we need to change Moxie back to green!

WhiteDaisy128 08-18-2003 08:51 PM

I was just being silly...not offended at all! :D

eringobraugh 08-18-2003 08:59 PM

As the newest addict to the club, Moxie, your story has motivated me to actually go through the hassle of logging in and becoming an official greek chatter!
I am so excited you were able to get to some parties today. My college roommate and I took a road trip to LSU one spring break to stay with her HS friend and our Kappa sister at the KKG house (which was GORGEOUS---coming from a greek dorm, we were definitely impressed!)
We went out with a group of Kappas and Tri-delts and had a blast. It's always good to keep in mind that no matter what GLO you join, you will undoubtedly have friends in several if not all the sororities!
I can't wait to hear the rest of your rush thread---good luck!

pinklady23 08-18-2003 09:35 PM

Ah, I was so happy to hear that you are going through! Heres hopin' that you get asked back to all the houses you attended today!! Good Luck!

33girl 08-18-2003 09:41 PM

Moxie - that is so wonderful that you were allowed to go through!!! Big hugs and :Ds to the LSU Panhellenic!!

breathesgelatin 08-18-2003 09:45 PM

Oh my gosh--this thread is such a roller-coaster!!!!

Kudos to the LSU Greek Office for being so flexible!! I am so impressed! GOOD LUCK GIRL!

pinkyphimu 08-18-2003 09:49 PM

moxie, it is sooo awesome that you were able to go to recruitment today!!! i hope you have just as much fun tomorrow!!!

Wyman 08-18-2003 09:55 PM

Good luck to LSU and Hottie Hill!
 
Good luck LSU, my neighboring university! And good luck Trace-dawg, Hottie Hill and the rest of the Delta Zetas! And BB the Kappa Kappa Gamma, too!

Moxie 08-18-2003 10:01 PM

i decided to go back and not list the groups by their names...sorry if it confuses people, but i guess it was a good suggestion. they're letters now...i couldn't think of anything cuter, since i am only talking about 6 groups. if anybody has ideas for cute little code names, let me know!

i find out where i get invited back to tomorrow morning. i'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!

DZHBrown 08-18-2003 10:08 PM

That is SO GREAT!!!

Chris

MSKKG 08-18-2003 10:41 PM

You just might get invited back to some of the ones you missed, especially if Greek Life explains your situation, so make sure you have enough categories to cover all the GLOs!

I'm so glad your rush experience took a turn for the better--good luck!!!

Moxie 08-18-2003 10:50 PM

i decided to do ice cream names, since my sister just brought me some german chocolate cake ice cream. yum! i deserve it after today =) i am also going to add some more details to my earlier post, so if you want you can go back and read some more.

OleMissGlitter 08-18-2003 11:09 PM

Some of my best friends were in GLOs at LSU. I love LSU and I have some friends still there that are active in a GLO, they are way younger than me. Anyway, have fun!

Hotty Toddy!
GO REBELS!
See ya at the LSU/Ole Miss Game in Oxford!

Thanks! I'm a nerd too!
Moxie - I am so excited that you were able to attend parties today! I can't wait for your update on them! Hopefully panhellenic will explain why you missed the first round to the other four groups, and they will include you for at least one more round! Best of luck to you!

mmcat 08-19-2003 07:42 AM

all good, moxie...
fingers and toes crossed...

JohnsDGsweethrt 08-19-2003 08:47 AM

Do we know which of the sororities Moxie was able to go to? It sounded like she named them put I guess she changed the post before I could read it. I'm so glad she was able to rush! Yeah!

Moxie 08-19-2003 10:00 AM

i just got back from seeing my invitations. i'm somewhat disappointed, but at the same time i understand that the system can be "blah" and i try not to take it personally.

out of the 6 parties i attended yesterday, i only got invited back to ONE. the one i got invited back to was COFFEE.

i did, however, get an invite to one of the groups i DIDN'T get to see at all. we shall call them...PECAN PRALINE.

i'm pretty upset that i didn't get to see more of VANILLA or especially STRAWBERRY. i thought i really hit it off with the latter, and it was definitely my favorite house of yesterday =( yes, i'm upset - but i'll be ok.

oh well...i'm glad that i at least get to continue. i asked that both of my parties get scheduled for tomorrow, so i won't have more to update until then. i do have a meeting with my gamma chi group tonight, but i guess that's mostly just to pick up my schedule. i haven't gotten the chance to know her very well, so maybe i will try to talk to her about things later.

:::sigh:::
all is not lost. once i saw my invites, i thought about withdrawing...but i think i'll give it one more shot. the disappointment just eats at you sometimes, especially since i went in with a bit of confidence.

thanks to all of you for the support! sorry i don't have more to report :/

smiley21 08-19-2003 10:04 AM

you keep going! someone very wise said that it doesnt matter how many you get invited back to, cause you can only join one!

rainbowbrightCS 08-19-2003 10:06 AM

well, that is great to be invited back. I can't wait to hear more about coffee and pecan praline.


Have fun and keep us updated.

xo_kathy 08-19-2003 10:46 AM

Well, as we all know, any invites at LSU is a good thing! And the invite without even attending is great! Who knows, maybe you will love pecan praline!!!! Good luck to you!

MoxieGrrl 08-19-2003 11:54 AM

Congrats on your invites, Moxie! I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed. :( You said that you really liked Coffee, and I'm very glad that you get to go back there! And who knows? Pecan Praline might end up being the house for you! Plus, LSU sounds like a tough rush, and you are hanging in there. Good luck!! :D

Ames44 08-19-2003 11:57 AM

Moxie! I hope you're having fun.. It's crazy to think we're going through the same thing at the same time, without knowing each other at all!

I think I might have an inkling as to who coffee is.. and if it's what I'm thinking.. go with it!! I've heard SUCH great things about them and they really impressed me too. Who knows! We might just be sisters on saturday!!

JohnsDGsweethrt 08-19-2003 12:07 PM

Mox,
From your descrption it sounds like coffee is a great group! Also interested in hearing how Pecan Praline goes. Good luck!

breathesgelatin 08-19-2003 12:15 PM

Moxie: Cuts SUCK. There's no way around it. They hurt. Yet, you still got invited back to two groups. Enjoy your second round, hun, and best wishes!

I have a sister named Hottie Hill?? Love it! :D

Moxie 08-19-2003 04:18 PM

someone had asked me to elaborate on the houses i did and did not attend first round parties for, so here goes:

i DID attend, in alphabetical order: Tri-Delta, DG, DZ, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Mu and Pi Phi. One of these is "Coffee", and I received an invitation to their second round.

due to missing the first day of rush, i DID NOT attend: Chi O, Kappa Alpha Theta, KD and ZTA. One of these is "Pecan Praline" and I got invited to their second round - pretty cool, considering I didn't go to their first round at all. another thing I remembered is that I had been corresponding via e-mail with the president of one of these groups, she even called and invited me out a couple of times this summer but i didn't go because i wasn't sure if it was "proper" or whatnot. strangely enough, this was not the group that invited me back!

so, there you go!

Moxie 08-19-2003 04:32 PM

oh, i also wanted to add that in my extreme RUSH to get ready for RUSH, i forgot to take out my nose stud. remember my infamous "nose piercing" post? heh...by the time i realized it, it was too late(i have to put in a clear, seemingly invisible "retainer" when the jewelry isn't in) and i wore it PROUDLY.

i think i should have gotten more invitations to second round simply because i amazingly took a shower, blew my mass of hair mostly dry, got dressed and primped a bit, and sped back to campus in under 45 minutes =) it was a feat. my gamma chi was like, "wow! you look great! didn't i see you in a ponytail, jeans and flip-flops an hour ago?" ;)

lol...i think that should be reason to get tons of invites!!! that has to be a special trait!!!

i am glad to hear that you are sticking with it! i am glad to hear that pecan praline has taken the chance to get to know you! best of luck tomorrow at your parties!

Moxie 08-20-2003 03:31 AM

i got my schedule for tomorrow and i have my two parties back to back. first i'm off to COFFEE at 1 pm and PECAN PRALINE at 2 pm. i told my gamma chi that i had thought about withdrawing, and she definitely encouraged me to stick it through until we get to next invites and see how i feel then...so, we shall see.
