I still can't get over how lucky I am. I have spent the whole day with a perma-grin! Each hour that passes makes me want to be a part of a sorority even more. 3 more parties tonight, starting at 6...then ranking. I'm am getting even more nervous because I'm starting to develop attactments to certain groups and will definately be hurt if it doesn't work out. But that won't stop me from trying!

Thanks EVERYONE for being here for me. You really have been such a great inspiration and definately got me pysched about the whole process.

I LOVE YA GCERS!!!:D

Well I have a few mintues to spare before I'm off. Tonight I have this cute peach sundress. Its a two layer deal that has a sheer and sparkly outer part that has little flower designs on it. The under layer is shorter so the sheer part goes to my knees! I accually bought it for a wedding that got cancelled, now it has some use. Its too nice for everyday wear, but causal for church or other speical events. Now I finally have something to wear it too!

Good luck!! Have fun:)

LM

let us know how things went.
seems to me we might just be looking for a yeah by this time tomorrow.
enjoy enjoy

secound rounds and ranking
 

ACK IM SO DUMB...Did you all see the my OPPS thread?

I am so exhaused...I need to go to bed as soon as I finish this post!

The last three parties of second rounds *sniff*

Capricorn: I was only rushed by two girls in this house. We decorated bags to put snacks/food in for a homeless shelter. The conversations are nice, but the house is on the low key side. The girls talk softly and move at a slower pace than I do. I like them, but in all I would feel restrained here. I'm quiet around quiet people, but I'm pretty talkative normaly so I would be hard for me to feel comfortable. Plus, I need to hear the babble of conversation or else I get nervous, espeically when meeting new people. Me and my big mouth ;)

Taurus: Still love it here! Had 4 girls rush me and all were so chatty and cute! However, the girl who gave me the house tour was a little on the quiet side...Yet again, my need for talking got me uncomfortable because we didn't spend every second talking. She was nice, but like I said, I get paranoid when people don't talk as much as I do. But I would love love love and need need need to pref this house. I also found out their philanthropy involves camping for girls!!! Being a counselor for the past few summers definately is a bonus in my opinion.

Scorpio: Only talked to two girls here,too. We decorated pots that will hold flowers for children the hospital. The first girl was nice and friendly and the second girl was nice, too. But totally in love with herself. I mean I love it when rushers tell me something about themselves, but she went on and on about how she did this or that. At least she was humorous while telling me her stories or else I would have been out of it. Same vibe from this place... looks great sisterhood, but I don't get any sense on what its like as a whole or if I would fit in.

We went to rank immediately after and have to include all 11...of course I put the four that didn't invite me at the bottom so here is how the seven fall.

1.Aries
2.Taurus
3.Pisces
4.Aquarius
5.Gemini
6.Capricorn
7.Scorpio

Its going to be a long 2 days. This waiting is getting harder and harder. Plus I have formed such attatchments to some of the houses that it will be hard to get over them.

Anyway...I'll update as soon as I know more! Hard to believe its almost done.

I'm so thrilled I'm typing this with wet nails.
 

Congrats! Sounds like you had a great night. I've been waiting for your post. I'm sorry you have to wait so long. It sucks.

I had a question, with which I PMed you. I'm heartened to see that a junior can make it as successfully as you have through Madison's rush, which (though not Southern) can be competitive.

Hang in there! We're counting down the hours with you.

keep your head straight and a smile on your face...
and who knows what will happen and what is meant to be...
hang in there.

WOO HOO!

Good Luck with the rest of rush.

Re: secound rounds and ranking
 

Hmmmmmm.....gee I wonder what sorority has a philanthropy that is CAMPING for girls????? ;) ;) ;)

I am glad to hear things are going well - you are doing really really awesome for a junior!

ON WISCONSIN!
 

I just stumbled upon this rush saga, and I LOVE it! I am originally from WisCONsin (Yes, Hello, I am all over the country these days)! I had a ton of friends from H.S. that went there--some rushed, some didn't but everyone loved it there.

I can't wait to see how it goes...especially since at last post, Tri Delts were still in the running!

Good luck with rush!

MiAngel, when do you know where you're preffing?

Re: ON WISCONSIN!
 

Woohoo! Where in Wisconsin are you from?

She won't find out until right before parties start on Friday night . . .

Less work for the Rho Chi's, but definitely more nerve-wracking for the rushees!

WisCONsin
 

I grew up in Waukesha County--went to New Berlin West. My parents have moved to Waukesha now (Vernon actually). I visited the Madison Tri Delts back when I was an undergrad--it was fun seeing the house even though I think I caught everyone off guard (it was early on a Saturday morning).

Re: WisCONsin
 

I'm from Waukesha County also - I went to Arrowhead. :)

Holla to all you Waukesha County girls! I went to Brookfield East HS back in the day! My parents still live there so I like to take the Badger Bus home every once in a while :D

I am anxiously awaiting news from Wisconsin! I hope all is going well for you--it is such a small world--my little sister actually started at Arrowhead!

I'm about to leave for a road trip and I can't believe I haven't gotten my update yet!!!!!!!

I hope an update is coming soon! It's getting so darn close!

Pref
 

Pref night started with me feeling a little low and ended with me on a high!!!

I was cut by Taurus and Aries...so that was a little disapointing, but then I relised it was the right thing. My Rho Chi reminded us that we needed to find a house that we would feel comfortable seeing us at our low points...and as much as I loved them I began to see that maybe it is fate...But at least I returned to Pisces! Capricorn! Gemini!

I don't know if I should post what excalty happened because I don't want to post things that are potentially sacred. Which I assume they are. But I can give you the overall feeling of the night:


I love Pisces. Love it. I don't know why I didn't see it before, but this is the house for me. I guess the other houses are speical in its own right...but I see my self in the future going over to visit with my pJs on and to just be silly girls! Their pref ceremony moved my heart and they had the most adoreable slide show that made me laugh. This is where I want to be. As much as Capricorn and Gemini are amazing...it will be difficult to turn away. I needed to be cut by the other two to see Pisces in its own right.

So here is how I ranked

1.Pisces
2.Gemini
3.Capricorn



I will reveal the rest by sunday evening....

I'm glad you had such a good time..........:)

Good Luck! I can't wait to find out where you find your new home!

I'm sure you're anxiously awaiting sunday! Best of Luck! :)

sounds like it's all working out. good good luck sunday.

I wish you the best of luck and hope that Pisces is in the stars for you!

Re: Pref
 

Wow, this is a great attitude. I didn't realize this about my chapter until years later.

Good luck!

p.s. I sent you a PM

Good Luck to you!!

YAAY! Im sorry to hear about your cuts..but you found a house that you really loved! thats wonderful. Im keeping my fingers crossed for you! I cant wait to hear where your new home is :)

Nichole

I'm dying! When will it be over!!!! :D the suspence is too much!

:confused:

That's so mean of them to make you wait two days to find out where you're bid! I mean, I know that Badger football is important, but couldn't they do something tonight after the game's over? Really, now.

I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Here I go!

Hey I just read your post for the first time, so I just wanted to say good luck today!!!
