Thanks for the support! Saturday's orientation!

Okay so I've gotten all my clothes and everything for rush :) I'm so excited..I'm leaving tomorrow (well today at 6am) to head back to Knoxville..I am so excited to meet other PNM's at my school and I can't wait to meet my Rho Chi...woo hoo!

Good luck Pam!!! I can not wait to hear all your juicy details!!

Go Pam. I can't wait to hear about your new home.


Keep us updated.

Since rush starts at UTK tomorrow, I won't be posting on this thread until after the whole thing is over. I will be lurking and checking frequently, however!

Pam, let your enthusiasm for Greek life show during the parties. You have a lot to offer a chapter -- get that message across to the actives. Wear comfortable shoes. Pack oil-blotting sheets in your purse. Keep an open mind. Let the recs some of us have written you give you a little boost in your self-confidence. And update us whenever you can! I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you find your new home.

Pam, I'm so excited to hear about your recruitment experience!! Have an awesome time and most of all, ENJOY YOURSELF!! You'll find where you belong! Good luck!!

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW, PAM! Any of the groups will be lucky to have you! We're all pulling for you! WAHOO!!

aj

Wishing you GOOD LUCK!! Have a great time :)

Pam, I hope you're having a blast today - and we expect a report tonight! ;)

Hey everyone!! Thought I'd post (since i got like 10 IMs from people asking what happened today and I know how addicted you are to the threads so here we go!)

This morning was orientation...we met our Gamma Chi's and met the girls we went to the parties, etc with. My GC is soo sweet and very helpful! The girls I went through the parties with, though a lot of them freshman, were really down to earth and nice girls and I'm so excited to see where they end up also! I met sooo many wonderful girls today. Rush is definitely a great way to make contacts!

Okay on to the parties! I went to 14 different sororities today, I'm not going to go into too much detail about ones individually since today (so long! 2-8:30) was open house, but I will add that there were some groups that were very interested in finding out who I was, what I was interested in and enjoyed being there themselves, and then there were others that made me feel like "oh great another group, here we go" and were acting fake, I could definitely tell that off the bat. Most of the girls I talked to I had something in common with. I was introduced to a lot of the presidents and VPs and recruitment chairs, which I figured to be a good sign. Though many of the girls were exausted (AND showing it, complaining a lot, etc) I was chipper and upbeat and stuck with it in a totally positive attitude till the very end. I was complemented on having a great attitude throughout the process. Tomorrow is the first invitation response where we find out who cut us and which parties we will be attending on Monday. So thats all for now! I'll post more tomorrow!

i am so happy for you. its awesome that you had a good attitude. thank God i only have to deal with three groups. lots of luck to you!!

It sounds like you had an amazing day! Good Luck tomorrow!

Good to hear from you, Pam! I'm looking forward to see where you'll be going on Monday! Good for you for staying upbeat!! I'm sure it showed :)

I'm glad you made it through such a long day with a great attitude! I imagine everyone - pnm's and sisters alike are exhausted by the end of the day! You will be remembered at those last parties for being so upbeat! Hope you have a blast at the next set of rounds!
Edited for typos! It's late, ok?:)

Pam, I'm glad you survived Round 1 with a big smile and I am thrilled to hear you got such a great reception by getting to meet so many key players (presidents and recruitment chairs).

We're all here if you need anything! :)

Okay everyone...here we go!
 

I got my invites today...I got cut pretty heavily because I'm a junior and I totally understand that. I got asked back to 4 houses and I'm happy with the decision! Its kind of cool because now I really feel wanted. After the first round of cattle heards and everything, they liked me the person, so I'm very excited about that. I'm not sure which parties I go to tomorrow, if I go to all of them on the same day or if they are broken up, BUT looking over the notes I jotted down in my PNM book, I remembered enjoying meeting the girls a lot. After a LONG rush yesterday, I was so tired I just passed out on my bed lol. Anyway!

I was asked back to...

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Xi Delta
Delta Zeta
Pi Beta Phi

I'm going to name them using Seinfeld names lol. Okay I'm gonna use Kraemer, George, Elaine and Jerry....and they will be in no particuluar order :D I'll post later!

My fingers are crossed for you! Have a great time, and I hope you end up where you want to be!

Good luck! Can't wait to hear tonight's update!

Something tells me that I am not going to feel so refreshed and rejuvenated when I wake up at 5am tomorrow morning! Blame it on the rush threads!

I hope that you have a wonderful time and that you find a wonderful sisterhood with whichever organization you choose! (Secretly hoping for one --- guess which??) Be careful out there and remember to be true to who you are!

Hope you have a wonderful time tonight! I can't wait to hear what Jerry, Kramer, Elaine and George are up to!

That's interesting...none of those groups have chapters at my school, lol! Oh well, I do know they have a wonderful national reputation!

Best of luck!

Pam, I'm so glad to see that you're still upbeat and that you were asked back to a certain place ;) Which ever place you choose, I'm thrilled for you!!

Re: Okay everyone...here we go!
 

haha!! how ever you assign them to the groups, i hope you go with kramer! he is the coolest!:D

those are strong chapters...now just relax and have fun and let things fall where they may.

I love the Seinfeld names. Hope you are "queen of the castle" by the end of rush. :)

what a great attitude!!! have fun at your parties...and we, as always, we will be waiting to hear how they went!

Soo happy you're going back to Pi Phi, Pam! :)

Pam, you crazy nut, I love the Seinfeld names!! I'm so glad you're having a good time! I can't wait to hear how everything goes!

Good luck today Pam - hope to see you at Round 2!

Good luck sweetie! Have fun at rush...you have some wonderful chapters to get to know! Yay for the Alpha Chi invite!

okay I went to the first 3 parties today, named Jerry, George and Elaine, and Kraemer is tomorrow. I think I'm gonna post how all the parties went after all the parties are over. I know people are gonna yell at me for it but can't really say I have a favorite of the four until I've seen all four lol. Today was a lot of fun and i'm interested to see what tomorrow is like! I'll post soon!:cool:

Reading this thread and all of the other rush threads are making me very excited for mine, of course I'll be on the other side. Good luck with everything!

Hope you have a great time at all the parties! Trying to curb my addiction here, and waiting patiently (NOT) to be sated after tomorrow's round! :)

My last party of round 1 is today at 2ish....Kraemer! hehe I'm very excited to see how this whole round turned out...tomorrow is invites...ahhh way to long to wait since classes will have started!!;) My fingers are crossed for the other amazing PNMs on GC! i love you girls

I wish you the best. Also don't forget to have fun :D

One heart, One way

Im wishing you the best Pam! Im sure you will end up in a wonderful place :) cant wait to hear how the 2nd round goes!!
