there are different interpretations of the 3 (or 4) Bs.

Boys
Booze/Bars
Bible
Bank (how much $ you/your family have)
Barack (ok, I just made that one up, but politics probably isn't a good idea right now either)
Boob jobs (made that one up just now too, but it certainly fits)

UCFlove 08-19-2009 06:40 PM

I consider it

Bible
Booze
Boys (not boyfriends but name dropping fraternities and their members)

Working on an update now :)

usually politics falls into that group-it was Bible, booze, boys and bush. now it is Bible booze, boys and barack.

So today was Philanthropy day and it was an interesting one. Since UCF has you “regret with interest” chapters that you have cut can pop up on your schedule if other chapters cut you to provide as many as possible with a full schedule, so with that said, I was back at Folders and Binders today as Paint and Scissors cut me:

Paint- Zeta Tau Alpha
Scissors- Alpha Delta Pi

I was a little confused because I had quite a few recs to Zeta, but honestly I know I didn’t make a connection with either chapter so I moved on and decided to see what today had to bring.

First on my list was Crayons. I was happy to be seeing this house while I was fresh since every member is beyond gorgeous! They had a video about a fairly new organization they have been working with and it was so touching. It was something we can all relate to and I was excited to know that a great GLO recognized and helped. My rusher was nice but I felt we didn’t have easy conversation, especially since I LOVED the girl I met yesterday.

After that I went to Markers. We got to tour their house and it was adorable. It was pretty great because the member who gave me the tour had been the girl I talked with the most yesterday so we got to avoid the awkward introductory questions. We then switched sisters to work on a craft with while watching a video. My second rusher was great, we sat and talked about family and I left loving the chapter even more.

Paper. This house was hard today. I was excited to be there and hope to have more time there, but there house is soooo loud it is hard to carry a conversation. Unfortunately I feel I didn’t leave much of an impression.

Folders. I was nervous to visit this house but had a much more positive day. They planned their event in a way that three PNMs talked to three Members and then three more switched them out half way through. Each of these groups included a girl I had spoken with the day before, one being the girl who made me uncomfortable. But I said to myself it’s a new day and had a great time. Not to mention their video made me cry.

It was POURING when I left folders so I had to wait to move on to Pencils.

Once there I was paired with a great girl. She was nice and informative, but I just can’t feel “right” at this house. They rush hard and it just feels off.

Backpack. I was double rushed here and the sister who met us offered us a house tour. She was very kind and did a great job of including me and the other PNM. I think it would be safe to say we both felt comfortable and convo came easy to us. Another sister showed us their craft and conversation wasn’t so easy…

Glue. I LOVED MY RUSHER. We were like other halves. Interest, injuries, personality traits, you name it we shared it. We got a long great and for the first time I was disappointed to leave a rusher and our conversation.

Binders. Again I just felt uncomfortable. My first rusher was nice, but didn’t initiate of carry much conversation. The girl who covered dues was nice, but I just don’t feel right there.

At the end of the day my decision was easy. There were only two houses I just could not feel comfortable, so I cut Pencils and Binders.

Tomorrow will be Video Night and Im trying to decide if I am brave enough to wear heels for the first time…

Great story!! Love it so far, can't wait to see what else is in store for you!

If you do wear heels, bring a pair of sandals to walk to the houses at..You'd hate to be at one end of Greek Park and have to walk to the other side in heels!! I did that going through, 5 years ago! Nightmare, esp in the rain when you want to get to the tents quickly.

UCFlove 08-19-2009 08:34 PM

Haha Thanks OTW!

And BellaBerlee, I was swearing all day that my Sperry Topsiders are coming with me tomorrow :)

I thought you meant Barracks - army guys and sailors...I watched Officer and a Gentleman last night so I think I am hung up on Officer Candidate Mayo and hoping to marry a Naval Aviator...

I'd include another B - Bitchiness. Don't talk nasty about other chapters or complain. How Rude!

I noticed quite a few of the chapters here double rushed. I was under the impression UCF had large chapters. Are there that many girls going through recruitment?

jennyj87 08-20-2009 12:58 AM

Woooo I'm still going for crayons. :D

twinkle555 08-20-2009 02:17 AM

Loving this! Its gotta be Folders or Glue!!

violetpretty 08-20-2009 02:47 AM

Ballot also starts with B and means politics. A little more timeless and inclusive than Barack.

WCsweet<3 08-20-2009 03:34 AM

Loving the school supplies idea! It reminds me of all the shopping I should be doing right now.

nittanygirl 08-20-2009 10:22 AM
