wooohoo!!!!

I'm another Gator PNM! Can't wait for recruitment! :)

yay!! I can't wait either! :)

can't wait for your update!!

Soooo... we met in the Grand Ballroom tonight for out PNM Orientation. It was so exciting!! There were so many young women in that room! We were shown a video and all the Pi Chis came out and sang a song out of nowhere; it was SO cute! :) Then we were all broken up into our Pi Chi Groups and there are roughly 65 women in each, I believe. Our Pi Chi's introduced themselves and then we all went around the room and did the same. They then spoke to us about the week and what was to go down. Our home base after every break and at the beginning of every day is: Jasper. (Remember I'm using Twilight themed names :])

I'm very excited! We have a long few days ahead, but I'm maintaining a positive attitude because I know that will help so so much! :) We start at 10 tomorrow morning, a lot later than I thought, and we have a break from 2:40 to 4:40 and then we end at 9:30, so I think we are visiting more than half of the 16 chapters tomorrow.

During my break tomorrow I will try to update if I'm not too tired! I'm SOOOOO excited!! :)

Again, thanks to everyone for reading! :) I hope my story is entertaining! hehe. :)

Goodnight and GO GATORS!

Wishing you a great week!

Hey UFGirl12! I hope you're having a great recruitment so far, I know I am. :)

Okay, so today was absolutely amazing! I really didn't know what to expect, but that the experience that much better! :) My homebase is Jasper. Today I visited: Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Laurant, James, Bella, Alice, Esme, Charlie Swan, Edward.

Jasper- Great way to start the day! These girls were super nice and very pleasant. The first girl who rushed me was easier to speak to, and she brought me into a bedroom where 3 other groups of pnms/actives followed, it actually got kind of loud with only eight of us in the room, but it was okay. We also talked about TWILIGHT so, obvi, I liked her. Another girl spoke with me as well; however, the conversation did not flow like the first one did. I liked it, but I didn't love it.

Rosalie- Didn't really know much about this house before walking into it. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the girl who was rushing me was. We talked about fashion and makeup, (two things I'm really passionate about) their philanthropy, and volunteering. All these girls were very pretty and almost barbie-esque. Personality wise, I believe I could fit in; however, I do not look anything like those women, but if they really like me, that won't matter, and it doesn't to me. :)

Emmett- These girls were very nice! The first girl I spoke to shared the same major as me, so we spoke about that a lot and what we'd like to do with it in the future. I think that we clicked immediately. The next one I spoke with I felt as though I had to talk for the most part, but she was very nice. This house is a potential contender.

Laurant- All the girls in my group were raving about how this house is already their favorite when they haven't even walked inside yet. I don't get it, they just go by hear-say while I'd rather experience it for myself. But, hey, that's just me. I spoke to 2 girls in this house but I can't even remember their names. The first girl was sweet but she kind of cut me off at times, and with the second girl the convo seemed forced. This isn't the chapter for me, I just know it in my gut.

James- I REALLY liked this house, I would almost say I loved it. We spoke about philanthropy and giving back to the community and to people which is something I love doing and something their sorority tries to do every week. I spoke with two girls who were just so sweet and they were people who I could see myself being friends and maybe even sisters with.We spoke about football games and barbecues with fraternities. I really think I could see myself with those young women.

BREAKTIME! :)

Bella- This house was so gorgeous, I've always been attracted to it! The girl I spoke with was so nice. We spoke about our majors, football games, family, weddings, and New York City. Their speech from a few actives was very cute, and you can already tell how strong their sister hood is! I think this is a possible choice.

Alice- The girl I was paired with was super nice! I told her the story about my majors and whatnot and we found out that we work for the same company! I thought that was really cool! There was no lull in the conversation and I feel like many of the girls are people I could see myself with.

Esme- I spoke to three women here and they were SO sweet! This house may be one of (if not) my fave(s) of the day! We all had a lot in common, and all three were so welcoming!! They had a pop skit describing some of the things they do as a chapter and it's super sweet. When their president spoke to us I even got teary eyed, ALREADY! She had such a way with words about the strong bond their sisterhood has; I'm pretty sure this will be a contender (if they like me, too! :])

Charlie Swan- I don't really have too much to say about this house; it was kind of bland to me. The girl I spoke with was nice, but the conversation was forced. Even when the president spoke to us, she was so monotone and didn't really get excited when speaking about her sisterhood and chapter, which is kind of sad to me. Blah.

Edward- Last house of the night; WOOT! I was the first person in line and the first girl waiting to rush someone had the biggest smile on her face once the doors opened. I was so happy to see someone visibly excited especially since this was the last party of the night. At this house I spoke to 4 girls! I was like that's crazy, but I heard all the girls in my Pi Chi group saying that it happened to them, too. Between all 4 ladies, we spoke about big/little, school, their house, philanthropies, events, and work. All girls were so nice, and I think I could see myself here. I blended well with the four girls that I spoke with, at least.

6 more houses tomorrow, and I'm so PUMPED!! :) Wish me luckkkk! :) Time to sleep. Goodnight! :)

:rolleyes: the 3 BBBs... oh boy...

you are so peppy!! it makes your story sooo fun to read. much better than whining for sure. also, i loooove the twilight theme :]

Soooo today we go to have six parties to go to and the day isn't as long. However we have to "preference" at the end of all the parties today, which I'm kind of excited about, because I kind already have an idea, but who knows? The houses I visit today could totally blow my mind and may be somewhere where I could call my home. :) The houses we visit today are:

Renesmee
Victoria
Jessica Stanley
Jacob
Mike Newton
Carlisle

Very exciting!! I will update when I get home today (hopefully) :)

Thanks, rococobaby!! :) I'm trying to stay peppy! It can get hard in the Florida heat, but I'm managing! :)
