Wizarding World of UCF.Fall Recruitment 2011
 

My recruitment starts in 2 days and I'm freaking excited, nervous and even more excited. I don't want to reveal too much about myself like my grade year and age. What I do want everyone to know is that none of my family is Greek and that I'll be the first one in my family to participate in a Greek recruitment. I'm hoping for the best in my recruitment week and keeping a OPEN MIND. It's always good to keep a open mind, which i tell my friends and myself. Also.... I love love Harry Potter books more than the movies.I will be naming the chapters after a character from the books.At UCF there are 11 chapters and the new one colonizing this fall recruitment is Delta Zeta. I hope all of you ladies enjoy my post and the new ones I'll be posting up this week coming up.

Chapters at UCF:
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
TriDelta
Delta Zeta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi

hooray-love your theme and the fact that it is a florida recruitment story!! good luck!

So many great characters. Of course I'm rooting for Alpha Xi, but as far as characters go, I'll root for Neville and Luna. I love an underdog! DZ can be Mrs. Weasley, observing everything from a safe distance but coming through in the end. Best of luck to you.
*Make sure you get plenty of rest and fluids. If you're not a big water drinker, you should start upping your intake now.
*Fingers in ears saying lalalalala when the tent talk starts!

No Dobby??? I guess I will just have to root for my other favorites Hermione and Neville! Good Luck and keep an open mind!

Woo!! I love me some HP...go Luna or Hermione!!! Good luck!

AW I LOVE IT. (die-hard harry potter nerd, right here...haha for real--stayed up all night to get early entry into Pottermore!)

I was going to use Harry Potter for my recruitment thread (I'm a pi chi, so I'm waiting to post it)...I'm going to use houses or places/locations so it'll still be different.

GO RON!!! (because he's the literary version of me/my literary best friend)

If not Ron, I hope it's Sirius! I love mischief-making gryffindors. :)

Alright one more time-- GO RON!

love the theme - go Dumbledore and Hermione!
Good luck!

Darn it-I was going to use Harry Potter for mine (not characters, but houses/organizations). Oh well. Good luck, from PNM to PNM! :)

Excited to read this but a note to other DDD's, does it both anyone else that a lot of the times our name isn't written out? This isn't the first time I've noticed that every other chapters name is written out, but delta delta delta goes "Tri Delta".

Just an observation.

Hermionie or Snape! Good luck!

lol I was going to type it delta delta delta but I noticed in the threads Tri Delta more.

THANK YOU SO MUCH LADIES! all of you are sweethearts :) for wishing me luck. Excited for Monday because that is when I get to meet my Rho Gamma.

At least you don't have your name misspelled, even by your own members! You don't know how badly I cringe when I see AZD. And Tri-Delta is such a great name and so recognizable, I wouldn't sweat it. It's like you're so well known you don't have to use your last name. HA!

Tri-Delts are like Madonna. :) haha

SNAPE, Hermione, Dumbledore, and Sirius. In that order, haha. Best of luck and have fun! I can't wait for our recruitment to start. :)

Yayyy for UCF :)

Today was day one which was meeting our rho gamma's and ask her any questions my group or myself had. Let me tell you that I think my rho gamma is super cute and nice. I never realized there would be so many girls in one room which made me nervous. Tomorrow is UCF day which I will get to visit the 11 chapters and I' am super nervous. Well I have to get ready tomorrow because it's going to be a long day and I have to wake up really early. Goodnight.

Good luck, and most of all, enjoy!

Day 2!!!!!
 

Omg! Such a long/hot day today. I didn't think walking and meeting 11 chapters and be so long and exhausting. I had fun and I liked all 11 chapters even though i felt like the conversation were forced. I think all the chapters offer something different which I like. Just to let everyone know that DZ was going to drop from recruitment and that it will be taking place a different week because they were looking for 150 pnm's since they're a new chapter this year,so I drop a name. Just so you ladies know.

Hermione- I did not expect the door chant early in the morning and omg this girls were super cute and were matching. I was sooo surprised when I walked in, I didn't know what to expect. My rusher picked some girl and myself and were talking for about 3 minutes until another rusher and took her away. I thought my rusher was so gorgeous and nice and I got along with her well. Like i didn't know 25mins went by so quick.

Potter- My rusher was nice, didn't really connect with her. However, they did have a strong sisterhood which I like. Always i felt like the conversation was forced but it followed well.

Ron- I loved my first rusher she was so cool and i got along with her really well and i got bumped by another rusher which she was nice too and I got along with her as well.

Dumbledore- It was okay. I got bumped by three girls. I felt kinda of awkward there, but I'll still give them another shot.

Draco- I thought this chapter seemed down to earth and diverse which I liked a lot. I got bumped by three girls which were all nice and super sweet. Oh...I was paired up with another girl and she didn't seem to thrill in being there. I was. lol.

Ginny- I got paired with a rusher who was nice but we didn't have anything in common but i felt like our conversation was neutral and it followed well. I thought she sweet and cute.

Snape- When i walked into this chapter I didn't know what to think because these girls are drop dead gorgeous and I felt like I didn't belong there but I got bumped by three girls which were all super nice and super gorgeous.

Hagrid- I love!!!! my rusher. We hit it off when she picked me up from the door and she is so amazing. I never thought I would hit it off with her but we :) did which it was good to take a seat for once since I been standing up all day.

Longbottom- I got bumped twice but I thought this house seem down to earth and genuine, sweet and nice. I thought both of my rusher were nice.

Lovegood- My first rusher our conversation was forced until I got bumped by another rusher which I got along with so well because we spoke about a certain sport and my third rusher was loud and cute and we got along and spoke about our major which were kind of similar.

DAY 3 PHILANTHROPY!!!
 

Today was the day when I got to see how many houses I got invited back to and it was shocking but I only got invited back to three. I was upset because I felt like the girls didn't like me and I was just heart broken. I was at least expecting 5 houses back not 3. My rho gamma cheered me up which I was happy about that.

Potter- I ranked them yesterday in my bottom two but I got invited back to this house. I was glad they saw something in me even though I was still upset that I only got three invites back. My first rusher was really nice and sweet and she was showing my how to make a craft which was really cute. I learned about their philanthropy which I thought it was interesting and it was a bit emotional. I was bumped with another rusher and we talked about things and when I was talking to her I realized my conversation with her was so natural. I felt like it wasn't forced and it felt really real. I left the house liking them a lot.

Ron- I loved this house yesterday, I was excited to go back. I had a new rusher and she was really nice. I learned about their philanthropy which I found interesting but I didn't feel any emotion. By the way I was paired up with another pnm and both of us got bumped by another rusher. I really felt like our conversation was forced and I felt like I didn't belong their at all. I felt very uncomfortable.

Draco- I was happy I got invited back to this chapter. I love love love how diverse they are and all seem so genuine and down to earth. I had the same rusher from day2 and she is super sweet and down to earth. I never met such a sweet person before and I talked to her which i felt our conversation was natural and real. I got bumped with another new rusher and she was so nice and so real. I liked her a lot.

Hopefully tomorrow I get two invites back because that would be really nice for me. I like Potter and Draco so far and i hope the system doesn't fail me yet. I never thought the system could actually work but it does. Im glad I kept an open mind which is the BEST advice for any pnm and myself can have. Tomorrow is day 3 (video day), hopefully tomorrow is a good day for me:).

Sending you lots of luck!!

Hang in there, remember it only takes one!!

Good luck to you! I really liked your attitude about going back to a house you ranked low. You are classy and the girls rushing you will see it.

DAY 4 VIDEO DAY!!!!
 

I was excited for video day because my rho gamma would tell me it was a bit different then the past two days which was nice and we got to seat down which was nice lol. I was nervous for my invites I was expecting two invites back but when I see my list I got invited back to three houses. :D I was so shocked but it felt good cause my rho gamma told me some girls already got dropped. First house of the day was......

Potter- I walked in and all the girls were really cute today. They were matching and they all looked gorgeous. I was paired up with a new rusher which she was so nice and funny. We talked about the things we were freaked out about and he had that in common and other things. Then I watched there video which was really cute and funny. I loved it because I could picture myself in the video cause I act goofy all the time but I do have a serious side. After the video I talked to my same rusher and it was so nice talking to her. I left the house liking them a lot.

Draco- I had a new rusher today and she was so cute. I honestly forgot what we talked about but I remember getting bump by another rusher and I clicked with her so well. I remember talking to her about makeup and how I recently got into doing my makeup and stuff until we had to stop talking because I had to watch the video. The video was so cute. When they were showing pictures of the sisters hanging out and having a great time I felt like tearing up. The song they picked was a good song for the slideshow. After the video I kept talking to her until a new rusher approached me because she loved my shoes. Then we started talking about accessories which we hit it off. I like this house as well.

Ron- Today I had a new rusher and she was so cute and easy going. I remember she told me to take a seat to watch the video and the video was so cute and sweet. I actually teared up at one of the girls talking about her experience at the house and how her sisters were always there for her. After the video I met up with my rusher and I was walking and I saw my rusher who rushed me in day 2 and I said hi to her. Anyways I got along with my rusher and we would talked a lot and got to know each other and she is so sweet. I liked her. I remember leaving the house and saying to another pnm who is my friend , I like this house but I didn't feel a connection their like I did with the last two. She understood what I was saying and I won't forget what she told me after I told her how I felt about this house and she was like "this is my house, i just know, this is it." I was so happy for her to find the house she was looking for.

After visiting the three houses I remember thinking to myself oh man I am really tore about two houses. To be honest with you before I started recruitment; I looked up the chapters during the summer and I really like Draco from the beginning until I liked Ginny. I never thought I would like Potter (lol) but I'm glad I do now. Tomorrow is PREF night and hopefully I will know which house I want to go on Saturday for bid day. This is getting really hard for me but thank goodness I have my lovely rho gamma to help me out. Also I'm glad I've been having an open mind thanks to GC without having a open mind I would been lost in the sauce lol. GOODNIGHT LADIES. I will keep you posted about Pref night tomorrow.

Yay for getting invited to all three! Goodluck at prefs :)

Any updates??

Update update!

DAY 5 PREF NIGHT!
 

SORRY ladies!!! I've been busy after pref night with bid day and work. Okay so I saw my invites and I only got two invites back. Before I got my invites I was thinking the difference between Potter and Draco and I realized that I saw Draco more as sisters than friends, for me I felt that Potter were more like friends. When I saw my invites I got invited to

Draco- When I walked in I was so excited to see all the pretty ladies. I can't speak about what happen but I remember having tears because sisters were talking about their times with other sisters and it was nice and intimate. I left this house saying to myself, this is it..I need to be in this house.

Ron- I came in with an open mind when I was walking into this house but I didn't feel like this house was right for me. I feel weird being their and my rusher was kind of quite and she was yawning a lot. The ceremony was cute but I preferred Draco better. I remember leaving the house and I knew that, that wasn't my house.

I meet my rho gamma to rank the houses and I already knew which one was my top one and I put it like this:

1. Draco
2. Ron

I want to know the result of what happened! My sister was SO thrilled with the pledge class they received-- she said they were all so cute and nice. Her rush crush, who was a legacy to two other places, went to her legacy house. She was sad about that, but she's already found someone she wants to be her little. :) I hope you had a great ending!

BID DAY!!!!!!!!!!
 

I remember I got to the gym an hour early, 11:50am hit and everyone was allowed to go inside the gym. We had to seat on our bid cards and wait another 30minutes with suspense killing me inside. I was so nervous because I wanted Draco and not Ron and I know I would of been sad if I went back to Ron. When it was time to open our bid card I was ripping the envelope and I see....................





























DRACO....AKA
