Aren't you supposed to pick up invites today? How did that go? Hope you enjoyed your first day of classes...I can't believe that school is already starting! The summer flew by!

Good luck!

Jbrookie--- I am dying for an update girl:p

SigKapSundevil 08-21-2002 10:21 PM

Oops....forgot you had the day off!!! Sorry about that! I'll be checking tomorrow, I hope you have a wonderful time at Sigma Kappa tomorrow, I mean at all the houses (j/k!!!!!!!)

jbrookie82 08-21-2002 10:50 PM

It's me again!!!

I found out who invited me back for round 2 (Skit/Entertainment) today. I am very proud to say that I was invited back to:

Alpha Xi Delta
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Kappa

I was a little bummed because I didn't get invited back to Zeta or DZ because they were awesome too, but I know that I will end up where I belong and I know that I can be friends with girls from these groups even if i'm not their sister.

The three who invited me back have been some of my favorites all along, especially one of them. I am so excited to see them again!!

I really hope things work out well in the next round for me, because I am really excited about it.

The next round of parties takes place tommorrow night and Friday. I don't have my schedule yet, but I might have paries both nights or maybe just one night.
Then, looking ahead....Saturday night is preference and Sunday is Bid Day!!!!!!!!

I hope all you Sig Kaps, Pi Phis, and AZDs are even pruder as I am one step closer to being your sis. And I hope all the rest of you will keep encouraging me, too.

Classes began today here and that went pretty well just in case you are interested. Hope this week is going well for all of you, too.

Till next time.....BYE.

shopgirl 08-21-2002 10:53 PM

Yeah, Jbrookie!!!


As a Sigma Kappa I am proud to read that you are going back. Good luck!!!;)


I look forward to your update.

YAY!! I am so excited you are going back to SK, and I am proud of you!! I hope you continue to have a great time. You will make a wonderful sister to one of these three lucky sororities

erniegurl00 08-21-2002 11:15 PM

Congrats!!
 
I just wanted to say a huge "CONGRATS!" to you jbrookie82! I'm so happy that you're going back to three houses that you're happy with. I'm really curious which house is your favorite, but I am content to wait and see what happens. And yes, I am still very proud to see that you are going back to Pi Phi, but I'd be happy for you even if you weren't! It's all about going where you feel comfortable and where you belong. Just please keep us updated, and I wish you a lot of luck through your next round! Skits were always my favorite!!!

Erin

PS. I hope your first day of school went well!

PSUSigKap 08-21-2002 11:34 PM

yea for sigma k!! i'm glad that you're happy so far. i hope you're ecstatic about whoever you end up with. i'll be on pins and needles til you let us know where you end up! good luck hun!

dzsaigirl 08-22-2002 12:10 AM

Congratulations on your invites! You will have so much fun on skit day. It is such a fun day! I always thought that skit day was one that seemed to fly by more than the others.

Have a great time!

Silverblue 08-22-2002 12:15 AM

Oh, I'm so excited you're going back to Pi Phi! Really pay attention to how comfortable you feel during the next round. That's so important.

What a hot day to start classes. I heard the heat index was 104 here today! I was out this afternoon for a meeting, and it was icky. For those of you not familiar with UT, its nickname is The Hill, and you walk everywhere. There's a saying: You can always tell a UT girl by her calf muscles. :cool:

AOIIalum 08-22-2002 07:11 AM

Brookie, congrats on your invites! Have a great time at AZD, Pi Phi and SK. Keep on keeping your heart and mind open and listen when that 'little voice' inside you says "Hey, Brookie, I like it here. I like it a lot."

Can't wait to hear about the skits! Have fun and enjoy yourself.

Christin

MoxieGrrl 08-22-2002 09:18 AM

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm very happy for you! :)

All three houses are lucky to have a great PNM invited to their parties...and will be even luckier if they get you as a sister!!!

SparkliiQTMTSU 08-22-2002 01:54 PM

I second that :)

Silverblue 08-24-2002 04:49 PM

FYI, preference is from 4:30 to 9 p.m. EST today.

Bid day starts at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow.

I'm just a couple of miles away from campus, but I have to work both days.

pinkyphimu 08-25-2002 06:12 PM

any news yet? i hope you are spending today with your new sisters!

jbrookie82 08-25-2002 07:47 PM

Sorry I haven't written in a few days, but I am now a proud member of a sorority. I'll tell which one in a couple of posts.

But to catch up....On skit night I went to AZD, SK, and PiPhi. I had a great time and all the skits were very good. I wore a purple sleeveless shirt and a pretty purple and pink knee length skirt. Then on yesterday morning (Saturday) we found out who invited us back for preference. Does anyone want to know who?????

Silverblue 08-25-2002 07:48 PM

SPILL IT!

mmcline 08-25-2002 07:50 PM

Tell us!!!! It's too cruel not to tell us.. you are dealing with addicts here

I do, I do, I do <waves wildly> I want to know who invited you and where you went...and where you found your new home!!!!

sassykd 08-25-2002 07:58 PM

Pretty please with sugar on top?

We really want to know!!

jbrookie82 08-25-2002 08:10 PM

Well......I found out on Saturday morning that I had been invited back to pref parties for AZD and PiPhi. I was of course very excited and I already knew what I was going to wear. I wore a black dress that is kinda low cut and and comes to right above the knee. It has ties at the shoulders. I wore silver jewelry with pink accents.

So I went to pref night and went to Pi Phi first and the room was gorgous. I was decorated like heaven because their thing wsa angels and arrows. We had angel food cake and chocolate covered strawberries. The ceremony was very touching and I teared up.
Next I went to AZD and they had pink roses everywhere. There ceremony was also great, but not as touching until I talked more to the girl who was rushing me and we both cried a lot as we talked about how I could see myself there.

As pref night came to a close I had to rank these groups and I realized that I could be happy in either one. Both groups of girls were great!!!!! But, something in my heart kept telling me to put AZD #1 and I did.

So, then today was bid day and I found out what sorority I am in!!!!!

So, who was it??
Am I a Pi Phi?????
Am I an AZD?????
Who did I spend bid day with???


Anyone want to know?????

AOIIalum 08-25-2002 08:17 PM

You're teasing us, Brookie...come on!

mmcline said we're addicts here and it's true. Pref sounded wonderful for you but darn it...feed our addiction and tell us where your new home is!

Hugs :)
Christin

fuzzie 08-25-2002 08:19 PM

Tell us already!! I want to know if I have another new sister already!!

jbrookie82 08-25-2002 08:41 PM

:D :p :D :p :D :p

So....now's the time....I will tell you what sorority I am a new member of............

I am a proud new member of................Alpha Xi Delta !!!!!!!

We had a wonderful bid day and went to an alum's house for a picnic/karoke, but it got stormed on and cut a little short.

But, regardless I had a wonderful time and am so happy.

P.S. Another girl from my Gamma Chi is a new AZD, too.

And I found out today, that my Gamma Chi is an AOPi.

Hope you all are happy for me!!!

Thanks for all your support I couldn't have did this without you all!!!

Silverblue 08-25-2002 08:43 PM

Congratulations. But, sigh, I wanted to be your Slightly Older Sister!

Volgirl became an alum initiate of your chapter earlier this year. I'm sure she'll be very excited.

AOIIalum 08-25-2002 08:53 PM

All right Brookie!!!!!!
 
Boy, you sure know how to prolong the drama for us addicts :D

Congratulations to you and to AZD! I'm so happy that you found sisters to call your own and a home for a lifetime. Best wishes to you and your entire chapter, Brookie.

Fraternally,
Christin

CONGRATULATIONS JBROOKIE & CONGRATULATIONS ALPHA XI DELTA!
 
jbrookie,
Congratulations on finding your home with Alpha Xi Delta! I am so thrilled that you find the right sisterhood for you!

Now, you have to keep us updated on how your first year goes with AXiD!
Congrats Again!!!

Alison-Marie 08-26-2002 11:08 AM

Yay, Jbrookie, and double-yay Alpha Xi!

Sidenote:
It was really strange reading your thread, because I was torn between Pi Phi and AZD on my Pref day too, and I also wound up at Alpha Xi.

Anyway, great thread. I knew you'd wind up in a great place!

LA,
Allie

FuzzieAlum 08-26-2002 11:57 AM

Whooooooo!

Another AXD! Congratulations!!!

EagleChick19 08-27-2002 07:40 AM

Congrats to you and Alpha Xi Delta! :)
