I'm so excited that formal recruitment is getting so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually started planning what to wear for rush today. This is highly unusual for me, as I never pick out my clothes in advance. I'm trying to make a list of things I need to get (which I was doing anyway), and my English professor was taking ever so long to explain the syllabus... ;) I work with a KD and an ADPi, and I haven't told them I'm planning to rush yet. I'm fairly new at work, and I don't want them to think that I'm only nice because I plan to rush in the fall. I'm getting so excited! It's a good thing I've got summer school to keep me busy....

I have also begun justifying things i buy because i could wear them for rush (and i'm a sister!!!). It's just so easy to think "oh those shoes would go so well with my pref dress, or that top would be really "functional" on philanthropy night... yeah functional. But August quickly approaches!!! yay:)

I don't know if you guys can answer this , since I'm sure it's diffrent in every school, but I don't know what the schedule for my rush is. Like, what night is philanthropy night, what are the "themes" for the first few nights? I am only asking this so I will know hat I need to wear and/or buy before then. Do schools normally have a sort of "greek orientation" type thing where they discuss all of this stuff? I haven't gotten my greek mailer yet, they are supposed to go out this month, and maybe I'll find my answer in there, but till then, can you guys help me out at all??

Tina, what I did was look at the sorority websites for my campus, and 2 of them had the recruitment schedule posted. The others weren't updated, but they normally will have it up too. Check out the Panhellenic site too - it may be up already. My school has an orientation night where they explain to you each night, what (not) to wear, what to expect, etc. I think most do.

Are you having as hard of a time sitting still and waiting as I am? ;)

Edited to say, Happy Birthday AZpinkkittie!

Tina,

the last time I checked the UofA greek site hadn't been updated with this years recruitment book. But last year's was still there. Last years will give you a good idea of what to expect. I don't expect that this year's version will be much different.

thanks for the info
 

Thanks for the birthday wishes Crystal!! Yes, I can hardly wait!! I wasn't able to open the acrobat file for last years guide (damn work computer :mad: ) but I can be patient. I did some shopping yesterday for my birthday and got some cute things for rush. Grrr...why does August have to be so far away??

there should definitely be a support group for all of us that cannot hang on until fall without some rush details. Wasn't there a summer rush thread around here somewhere?...someone help, I need a fix!!!!

my best friend and I sat around exchanging rush cheers for an hour the other day (she's an alpha gam at another school). I think that I am officially whacked out.

I'm bumping this up because I'm soooooooooo excited formal recruitment is getting closer & closer!!!

hah, yup! in exactly two months (august 18) i'll be participating in the second day of the first round parties of recruitment. woohoo! i wish someone on GC was psychic and give me a little heads up...that would be so cool =)

2 months from tonight pref will be over and I will not be asleep then either...

Moxie, did you get a booklet in the mail yet? They mailed one to my son, but that may have been because he went to Spring Testing.
Anyway, it has the application, info on a the sororities and fraternities, right down to assessments. There are also pictures-but I could SWEAR they are the same girls from 2 years ago:confused: - depicting customary attire for the parties.

Have you sent in your application? They will start putting things together soon.

Yeah! I'm so excited for every single one of you! :D Recruitment is the fall seems so much more intense (and much better described!) than in the winter/spring. Maybe due to the Southern recruitments being at this time?

Moxie - You are getting extra-special support from me. :) Any girl with "moxie" is going to knock 'em dead at LSU! :D

thanks for the update JAM. i just sent in my registration forms and payment last week. actually, i brought them to the greek affairs office since i work on campus. i haven't gotten a booklet, but if i don't get one eventually i'll go back to greek affairs and request that they put one in my hands :) i was thinking i would ask a couple of girls i know who went through recruitment last year about attire, since i saw the pictures from last year's greek tiger and they didn't help me at all!!! i guess i already know about clothes and stuff from GC, though.

thanks, moxiegrrl! i am very appreciative of you support =) we moxie girls have to stick together.

Where has USCchicha06 gone? She pumped about rush then she left! :confused:
