i woke up feeling the excitement!

Yay yay yay!!! I'm so excited to start reading this thread. I'm really looking forward to seeing how all the work I know she's put in has paid off. Can't wait till Monday when I get to read all about it (work comp is the easiest access to GC :( )

Good luck!!! As I've told others let your heart lead you to the house of your dreams!!!!!! Can't wait for all the updates!

mtsugurl- i see you in here. tell us what happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I MISSED Orientation. I drove frantically around campus looking in every auditorium I knew of because I didn't know where it was (my computer has been down, and I've been moving, so I didn't get the email.) I did finally meet with my rho sigma, (who is as sweet as she can be), and got all my information. I hate that I didn't get to meet the other girls in my group though. That's what I was most excited about!

Of course, all of the other girls that I saw were absolutely gorgeous, blessed with great hair and the ability to tan (I don't have that...), and several had their mothers with them. I envy those girls - my mother rolls her eyes whenever I bring up recruitment. The rho sigmas that I met while searching for mine were all very friendly and excited. People are moving into the dorms today, so there were several sorority women helping people move in. Kinda nice to see. :)

I meet my rho sigma group tomorrow at 1:00. Whoo hoo I'm finally getting started! And only a year after I joined Greek Chat. ;))

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! too bad about orientation, but everything is going to work out. i am so excited for you!!!!!

I went to parties in this order:
AXO, ADPi, AOPi, XO, KD, DZ, ZTA.
At ZTA, I got to meet ZetaLuvBunny! I was so excited!
I didn't follow the advice about comfortable shoes. :( I had to borrow some from my friend because I couldn't find any that I liked. They HURT. But, I got through the night and had a wonderful time!

These are not in order of the parties that I went to.

France - I really enjoyed this group. I met 3 girls, one was the president that I had met several times before. I had a lot in common with these girls, and they were so genuine. Conversation was a breeze! I felt really comfortable, and not intimidated like I thought I was going to be.

Italy - The conversation was very very forced. I was polite and tried to be interested, but I had to carry the conversation. While the girl was trying to tell me they were diverse, she said, "We're not all smart, and we're not all pretty..." I understood what she was trying to say, and that she was probably very nervous, but even when I met someone else I still wasn't very interested. I didn't have anything in common with this group. I got a lecture about the philanthropy, but couldn't really talk to the girls I met - they seemed very uninterested.

Canada - I honestly expected not to like this group, but I really enjoyed it! I met a few really sweet girls that nearly cried during our conversation when I asked them wat they liked about their chapter. I felt like I had alot in common with them.

Ireland - I expected to love this group and I really didn't. It felt like a job interview - a really forced conversation, businesslike, and I only met one girl who didn't really seem that interested in talking to me. I smiled and nodded alot. She talked continuously and I didn't really get a chance to ask questions.

Greece - I really liked this group as well, which I expected. I was actually rushed by one of my brother's ex-girlfriends (they're still friends), and another girl that is a friend of my brothers. I had a great time. Conversation was easy, and I feel like I really learned alot about the chapter.

Spain - I LOVED THIS GROUP! I went in with almost no opinion about them, but the girls were so outgoing and sweet. They were incredibly easy to talk to, and I really enjoyed meeting them. I felt very comfortable with them, and I really hope they ask me back.

Germany - I LOVED this group! I felt very comfortable here, and felt like I learned alot about the chapter. I was mainly rushed by one girl, but she introduced me to people. I can't wait to see them again.

I get my invites at 11:55 tonight.

Your write-up is a thing of beauty! I can't WAIT until the next chapter!!! :)

I am so excited for you! It sounds like you had a lot of fun and have quite a few amazing chapters to pick from! Good Luck!
