My rho chi just called me! She said so far, there are 51 girls signed up, and they're hoping for a total of 80. I'll meet her on Thursday. Any ideas of things I should ask her?

why did you rush? What should I ask each sorority?
What do you like about greek life. What would you change (not hate, hate is bad)?

Ok, slight change of outfit plans. I tried on the ultra cute peach sweater with the pink/peach paisley skirt, and....it looked really good standing up, but when I sat down, I was afraid the seams might bust!! :p So.....Thursday, for the orientation thingy, I'm wearing a pink striped (diagonally, I'm not ballsy enough to wear horizontal lol) with a nice pink tshirt. Friday, 1st round open houses, a red peasenty skirt with a nice black tshirt and black slides. Saturday, 2nd round open houses, black flowery skirt, black shell/tank toppy thing, and black cardigan (it's a twinset), with red slides. Sunday, skit day, khaki skirt, blue boatneck sweater, and really awesome black/brown heels (the highlight of the outfit lol). And Monday, pref day, my black dress w/drapy neck, black heels, and my fruity scarf. Does it seem like I'm wearing a lot of black? That's just what I usually buy I guess. I need all the slimming effects I can get! lol Not sure what I'll wear on bid day, I guess I'm afraid if I plan for it, I'll jinx it, and I'll end up not needing the outfit :( Does cute jeans and flip flops sound ok? Also, I'm afraid that they won't have a bid day shirt big enough for me! What will I do if that is the case? Take all my bid day pictures in some random tshirt? :( I hope not!! Tomorrow at 1, I'm going to an informational meeting thingy, I'll post what happens!

sweetie, they always buy larger shirts for the new members. a friend of mine who went pi phi weighed maybe 115 lbs sopping wet came home from her bid day in a XL long sleeve tshirt. she was swimming in it. they will definitely have something to fit you, and chances are that it might be a little big even.

your clothes sound really cute!!!!

:D Your post made me really happy! That's something I've been subconciously worrying about, but I bet I'm just nitpicking to find something to bother me!

I honestly wouldn't worry about the bid day shirt. I know my chapter orders a ton of different extra sizes. I guess worst case scenerio one of the sorority actives could give you one of their chapter shirts. But, like I said, that's worst case scenerio. No worries! Just relax and enjoy rush. BTW, cute clothes!

Your outfits sound great! And don't worry, like everyone said, houses order tons of sizes! I can't wait to read your rush posts! :D

Good luck!!
 

Hey girlie! I just read your thread......I'm so excited for you! Good luck!!!!!

I just got back from the informational meeting, and it went so well! I got to talk to the Panhellenic president (she's a biz major too, and was telling me which profs to take), and a bunch of the rho chis. I met mine and she seems really nice. They showed some outfits for each day, and I feel like mine will be fine, if not even a little dressy. I'm also feeling much better about the size issue, because a few of the rho chis were on the large side. Also, I thought it was awesome, cause in the slide show, there was a picture of a girl wearing a 311 tshirt, which is one of my favorite bands in the whole world! All the rho chis I talked to seemed impressed, cause i asked about quota and the new member period. They said I was on top of things. Of course I am, everyone on GC is helping me out!! I'm feeling really good about this week, and my nervousness is excited, not apprehensive! Eeeeeek 3 more days!!

OOOOH soo exciting. :) It sounds like you are super-prepared!!

Maybe I missed this, but how many people are going through rush at your school this year?

As of 1pm today, there are 54 girls signed up. My PX said they're aiming for 80 by Friday. I guess they have a lot of people sign up at the last second. Not me! Oh, and I just got back from getting my eyebrows done. They look great!

speaking of
 

I really need to get off GC because I am so addicted but I wanted to read your thread since you are reading mine;)
I went last week to get my hair cut and it turned out horrible. I was so upset I almost cried but then, I called the salon in desperation and they set me up at another location with this guy and he ended up making me look 100 times better. Although I went to get my eyebrows waxed a couple of days ago and my normal girl who does them wasn't there, so they don't look as good as usual. Oh, the stress!!!!!!!!
I think I am going to try to go back and have her clean them up!!
This is so exciting!:):):)
I am sending you so many positive thoughts!!!!!!!

I SO know what you're going through! Last week I got my hair cut, and the chick just about butchered it! The sides were all uneven and she feathered the back! AAaaaahh! So, I went to this other guy, and he totally fixed it! He's my hair savior, and I'm pretty sure I'll go back to him. Yesterday, I got my eyebrows done. The chick did a really good job. I love getting them done, it just lights up my face and makes me look younger! I sure am getting excited! What are you planning on wearing (if you want to tell)? My outfits are posted earlier in my thread!

i remember being the voted the best dressed rushee
people just don't understand how much pressure it is

good luck chicks
