Heheh - I know!!! I love Knoxvegas! Wish I were going back, but that's okay. I'll be visiting next weekend, so it should be fun.

I went to the first day of sorority recruitment at the University of Tennessee yesterday. The day consisted of an orientation and then open house. During open house we were able to visit all 14 NPC sororities on the campus for 10 minutes each. I met my Gamma Chi and she was wonderful! I loved the women from all sororities I met, however out of the 14 there were 9 I liked better than others and 2 out of that 9 that I liked most of all. This however was just from a first impression, so my views may change as the week goes on. There were some very nice girls in my Gamma Chi group and I really enjoyed talking with them. Overall, the first day was wonderful. It was less stressful than I expected, but more tiring.

Now, here in a couple of hours I will go back and see how many invitations I get back for round 1. We can accept up to 10. Round 1 is on Monday and Tuesday, and of course I am very excited. I will keep you posted later this evening.

Wish me luck!!!:D :D

Good Luck!! Have a great time, I am so excited for you:D :D :D

Good luck! you have such a nice, upbeat attitude!
Can't wait to find out where you're going back to!

Good luck! It sounds like you're having a blast. Please keep us posted.

Christin

GOOD LUCK GURL!!! HAVE A BLAST WITH IT :D

I can't wait to see how your story unfolds. Have fun rushing and always remember to follow your heart!!

Good luck, keep us posted!

Good Luck! Enjoy this time!! :)

Be careful not to make up your mind too early. That first day at UT is a whirlwind. Tomorrow, you get to sit down and talk to the actives. Don't pin your hopes on two chapters. Remember to be open to all the possibilities. Now, get back on here and let us know where you'll be going for Round I!

Hey guys, I just got back from finding out who invited me back to round 1. I am very excited to say that I got invites back from:

Alpha Xi Delta
DZ
Pi Beta Phi
SK
Zeta Tau Alpha

I would be excited to be a member of any of these groups and I can't wait to find out more about them as the week goes on!
Seriously, I am giddy!!!

Round one is tommorrow and tuesday and then wednesday I get invites back again!!

I noticed that I had good luck wishes from girls in some of these groups, hope i've made you proud.

Let me know any more advice you have for me for round one(philanthropy).

I let you all know more as soon as I do. Thanks so much.

YAY! You're going back to Pi Phi! Woo hoo! You definitely have made me proud. I just got a rush update from another alum, and I know the chapter has great things planned for the week. You're going to love it. Heck yes, I'm biased! :D But in fairness, I'll repeat that you should keep your options open. Look around at the actives in every chapter and ask yourself if you feel like you would fit in there. Do you feel comfortable there, or are you having to put up a front? You can fake it for a week, but not for four years. When you feel at home, you've found your place.

Yeah!
 

I would also like to join in and agree with Silverblue! You've made me very proud as well. :) I may be biased, but I also agree with the others that it's too early to make any decisions just yet. It is so important to feel comfortable in the house you choose. When I went through rush I imagined myself lounging around the house in my fluffy slippers. If I couldn't see myself doing this (and therefore meaning that I would be changing myself) then I knew I wouldn't feel comfortable there. Now go find that place where you can wear your slippers! LOL :D

PS. What houses do you go to on each of the two days of round one?

I am SO happy to hear that you are going back to SK!

Good job on keeping us posted, I can't wait to hear more about it!

Anniesigkap, SK has such a nice chapter at UT. You'd be proud of them.
