Annie's Rush (Finally!)
 
Okay, well, not quite. I don't rush until early October, but I thought I'd start my thread now since I'm leaving for UCR the day after tomorrow and goodness knows when (and IF) I can get my computer set up there!

UC Riverside has a small Greek community of about 3%, according to the catalog. There are 6 Panhellenic sororities:

Alpha Chi Omega
Delta Gamma
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Kappa

So please wish me luck!... and any advice about anything would be really appreciated!

XOXO,
Annie.

P.S. Thank you girls on GC very much for being so incredibly helpful this past month... you're all so great and you've really solidified my intent to rush. I hope this works out!

EDITTED to make blue.

Hey Eagle,

I don't recall if I've congratulated you yet for such a successful rush! I followed your story with great interest and hopefully it'll work out as well for me as it did for you.

So, again, congratulations! Your new sorority is lucky to have you.

XOXO,
Annie.

I'm actually an active!!! I'm doing a rush thread from the "other side." LOL, but its ok. BTW, I went to the PA Governor's debate last night. It was quite interesting...

UCLAgirl 09-20-2002 12:37 PM

Good luck sweetie!
 
Hey there Annie! I want to wish you the best of luck. You are a great girl and I know that every Riverside sorority will be fighting to have you as a member. Remember to smile and always wear whatever clothes make you feel like you. You are awesome and you know it, so let your awsomness (yeah like that's a real word) show through and you will be sure to shine. Good luck!

Thanks! We're really looking forward to recruitment and I can't wait to meet Annie and all the other girls that are interested!

gphiangel624 09-28-2002 05:06 PM

Just to update everyone... Annie emailed me and she hasn't been able to get on GC because the dorm computers aren't working to well yet! But she's trying to get back on here!

And guess what?! I met Annie in person last night! I was working at Block Party, an event for all new students to see our student orgs and such, and she looked for me and found me! I can tell she's a total sweetheart and my sisters and I cannot wait for her to go through recruitment!

Annie- hurry up and get your computer fixed before rush starts! You know everyone is dying to know how it goes!

Carol

WhiteDaisy128 09-28-2002 05:22 PM

Good luck Annie! It's such an exciting time!! I have to be a little bias, but GO DG!!

Seriously though, check them all at and then find your HOME!

Keep us updated!

tinkerbell 09-28-2002 06:52 PM

[COLOR=teal]Hey Annie . . . welcome to the UCR community . . . . I can't wait to meet you at recruitment!!!COLOR]

CelticGal 09-29-2002 09:56 PM

Good luck, Annie! This is not a shameless plug for Sigma Kappa - ok, it is - but I hope you find the home of your dreams! Keep us updated.

Shark In Skirt 09-30-2002 02:36 AM

IT'S ME!!
 


HEY GIRLS!!

I missed you all SO MUCH! I've been having some issues with my school's internet as well as with GC, but I just got a new SN so it's all okay now. ANYWAY...

I LOVE UCR so much!! I am so happy to be here. My roommate and my suitemates and my housemates are ALL awesome. Sorry I sound so crazily enthusastic but I'm just having the time of my life here. I thought I would be miserable but I'm not in the slightest.

Anyway, so I GOT TO MEET gphiangel624!!! She is SUCH a wonderful girl, and she's gorgeous to boot, as are the rest of the Greek girls. (My suitemate won three goldfish from the Gamma Phi booth! We named them Carol, Bob, and Speckles. Speckles unfortunately has passed on, though.)


At the block party all of the PNC members were wearing the same shirt so I couldn't really tell which sorority was which! But all of the girls I talked to were SO GREAT and so friendly and helpful. I even got to speak with a Rho Chi who was just so perky and awesome!

Rush starts this Friday so I'm really excited. I really hope that I find the right place. Cross your fingers for me!... and sorry it took so long to update!



breathesgelatin 09-30-2002 02:42 AM

ooooohh..... *crosses fingers* good luck! sounds like the kick-off party was really cute!

GPhiBLtColonel 09-30-2002 04:17 AM

YIPPEE!!!
 
Yay! Just when I thought there were not going to be any more rush threads, here is this great thread about Annie's soon-to-be-rush experience at UCRiverside and GFB is in it!!!

Woohoo!

Go Gamma Phi Beta!


:D :D :D :D

SATX*APhi 09-30-2002 12:12 PM

Annie, you must keep us updated!! :) Best of luck.

MSKKG 09-30-2002 12:39 PM

Good luck during recruitment! I hope the blue type in your posts mean you like the Kappas! Follow your heart, and you won't be led astray.

CutiePie2000 09-30-2002 01:07 PM

Re: YIPPEE!!!
 
I am looking forward to this one too, as Delta Gamma is in it!!!

tinkerbell 09-30-2002 10:14 PM

Hey just so u know rush doesn't start until Oct. 11th . . . which is info night. . . . and just to explain the whole all of us wearing pink shirts its because we are all showing our greek unity and showing that we are all Panhellenic first!!! . . . So ur suite mates . . . u must live in pentland . . . . new or old??? . . . I really can't wait to meet you!!! . . . . just so you know I'm a sigma kappa . . . and really the best advice I can give you is to go through rush meet all of the chapters and figure out which one suites you best!!! . . . . we really do have great chapters here at Riverside . . . you really can't go wrong!!! . . . Also I was at block party . . . its kinda cool to think that I could have been standing right next to you!!! . . . . well take care . . . and I'll soon see you at rush!!!!

One Heart One Way - Sigma Kappa Forever!!!

gphiangel624 10-01-2002 02:10 AM

Tinkerbell- I'm wondering who you are? Are you Diana, because I'm going to crack up laughing if that's you!

Annie, I'm glad you're having so much fun! Who would have known that Riverside could be a "fun" place?! (hey- i can talk because i've lived here my entire life!) I hope things are going well for you and talking to you has made me really excited about recruitment! Just spread the word- get girls to rush! I know there hasn't been all the publicity we (as Panhellenic) were promised, but if you and your friends/suitemates/etc could spread the word, all of us in Panhellenic would REALLY REALLY appreciate it!

I'm in new Pentland, but I WISH I was in Old!! We went without water for 24 hours! Yes, no water for the toilets to flush, no showering, nothing! It JUST came back on. lol But besides that, everything's great!

UCR
 
I had a friend from highschool who was an Alpha Chi there and she had a great experience...for some reason she deactivated early, drama or maybe personal reasons, I'm not positive. I have also heard that Gamma Phi has a superb chapter there, one of my old president's sister was a GPB there and was supposedly having a kick ass time. Good luck Annie, just wait until your pledge period that's when the fun really begins...:) :)

GPhiBLtColonel 10-01-2002 10:19 PM

You Know it!
 
GFB ROCKS at UC Riverside and all across this great land of ours!! But hey, I am just a teeny bit partial!!!!
:D :D :D :D ;)

tinkerbell 10-02-2002 02:46 AM

Annie . . . yeah Ive heard that pentland 2 has had a lot of problems thus far . . . . we all knew it would . . . . but just remember that its got to get better . . . . and seriously living in the res halls is an awesome experience!!! . . . .


Gphiangel . . . . I'm not Dianna . . . . but u do know me very well . . . since u were my Rho Chi last year . . . . so lets see if u can guess who I am but i promise to tell you if u don't know!!!

gphiangel624 10-02-2002 11:16 PM

Ok, this is fun...
 
So I'm going to have fun guessing who tinkerbell is... esp. because I remember pretty much everyone from my Rho Chi group last year...

Are you...

Amy de Quintal?
Crystal Smith?
Suzanne Thompson (this is who I'm thinking you are because you're a dancer... I guess that could fit in with the Tinkerbell thing?)

Ok, so tell me! I know you're the only three from my group last year that went Sig Kap!

Carol

tinkerbell 10-04-2002 04:51 PM

Hey gphiangel . . . . you guessed it . . . its Crystal . . . I hope everything is going great for Gamma Phi's rush . . . . well see u around campus.

Crystal

gphiangel624 10-05-2002 06:42 PM

Crystal, you were my second guess. Diana said it was probably you on here!

Anyways, because the time is getting so close to recruitment, I'm going to refrain from posting very much, so as to allow any PNMs to keep an open mind. Once Friday comes along, I'm going to stop posting altogether until Tuesday the 15th (Bid Day), and not read Annie's rush thread until then, because I don't want to get too excited or disappointed. Either way, Annie, I wish you the best of luck- you're going to have a blast and I'm so excited for you. I only wish I could go through Recruitment again.

Crystal, good luck to Sigma Kappa during Recruitment- I'm sure I'll see you around this week, in and out of work. Tell your sisters good luck from Gamma Phi Beta!

Carol :)

Hey Hootie!! Rush starts Friday, so I'll definitely post after our info night!

In recent, semi-related news, my girlfriends and I went shopping for rush clothes in Palm Springs... for SEVEN STRAIGHT HOURS. It was crazy, but it was sooo much fun! I think I may actually have drooled on an ivory cashmere coat in Burberry (oopsy)... I didn't end up buying too much... not even sure if some of the stuff is dressy enough for rush, but I'll figure that all out later!

Also, my best friend who goes to San Diego State is now an ALPHA PHI! This is the sorority she's wanted to join since she met them at her summer orientation... so I'm really, really, really happy for her! I hope it all works out for me, too.

Thank you all so much for taking an interest in my little rush thread... I really, really appreciate all of the help I've gotten here!
