Sunshinesmiles rush thread @ UF
 
Hey everyone! I've decided to start a rush thread as I have read a lot of the old ones and they're so much fun to read through. I'll be rushing at UF in the fall. I was kind of worried about listing my school, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to keep my rush experience pretty anonymous. I have just started shopping for my rush week outfits, and I am kind of overwhelmed as I have been warned about how competitive rush is at UF, but at the same time, I am thoroughly enjoying shopping everday! I'll keep you all posted.
Just to let you know, the NPC's we have at UF are:

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Alpha Omicron Pi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Phi Epsilon
Delta Zeta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Kappa Delta
Pi Beta Phi
Phi Mu
Sigma Kappa
Zeta Tau Alpha

best of luck to you sunshine, and don't forget the coffee filters :) I don't know what they use them for, but someone once said that about UF recruitment :)

shadokat 07-20-2004 02:51 PM

I knew that coffee filters somehow fit into their recruitment!! :)

Shadokat, the filters are for blotting your face without messing up your makeup. The PNM's spend a lot of time outside in the 90+ degree heat, and can begin to 'shine' so the coffee filters work wonders. :)

Best of luck, sunshine! We're all rooting for you! :)

bsp-mich24 07-25-2004 06:59 PM

Good luck and most of all have fun!!! Can't wait to hear your stories. We don't have a huge greek campus in Greeley, Colorado, so I always love to hear about recruitment stories from big schools!

UGAnchora 07-27-2004 08:38 PM

...although I have to say...

GO DAWGS.:D

Good luck, but I have to second the Dawgs part!!

UFgirl 07-30-2004 11:11 PM

Yay! Another UF pnm! I'm so excited for you. Make sure you post often as soon as rush really starts. I saw happygolucky's thread first so I babbled there for a bit:) I did, I think, leave some stuff that might be important to you, so instead of writing it all again you can go over there if you want to read it.

Good Luck and Go Gators!

KSUViolet06 07-30-2004 11:36 PM

Best of luck honey! I hope you KEEP AN OPEN MIND and find the perfect house for YOU :)

Had to subscribe! Good luck!
Never heard of the coffee filter trick...how cool!

adpi*violet 08-03-2004 01:45 AM

Good luck! I just love recruitment stories.
I've posted this on everyone else's recuritment thread too, but the most important thing is to find yourself a home with sisters who will cherish you for who you are.

smiley21 08-03-2004 07:06 AM

Gainesville is a special place to me, since i grew up there. i hope that you have some idea how incredible this opportunity is. UF is an awesome place to be greek. i hope you have the pleasure of being apart this wonderful family. remember, no matter whar you decide or what other people say (positive or negative), listen to your heart. no one knows what house is perfect for you. only you do. yay!!!:D


5 of the sororities have brand new sites that are just so beautiful. you should check them out...


Alpha Delta Pi

Phi Mu

Pi Beta Phi

Kappa Delta

Kappa Kappa Gamma


almost all of the other sororites have websites that are updated, helpful, and just as beautiful too. just making sure that your choice is an informed one!!:D

Tons of FL rush stories this year!

Good luck finding your home :)

sunshinesmiles 08-08-2004 06:28 PM

Gearing up for rush!
 
Thanks everyone for all of your responses! I have been away on vacation with my family on our end of the summer trip and had a great time. I also got a lot of shopping in for rush clothes. Our first informational meeting is a week from today with parties starting the next day. I cant wait. I already have butterflies. I'll keep the updates coming and thanks again to everyone for all of your support!:D

smiley21 08-08-2004 06:42 PM

oh i am so excited for you!! it will be an amazing time.

triskit03 08-08-2004 11:27 PM

Yay it's coming up pretty soon!! I have to go back to school next week for work week, hopefully I can find an internet connection somewhere to read all these rush threads!! :) Just have tons of fun and keep us updated!

pinkyphimu 08-09-2004 05:34 PM

best of luck! i will wish for unseasonably cool weather so you don't have to stand outside in 90^ heat! have fun!!

sunshinesmiles 08-09-2004 05:55 PM

Hey everyone! Rush parties start in a week and I'm beginning to become pretty nervous. Today was a good day though, after spending some time recently with family and close friends of the family, I have discovered quite a few people who would be willing to write me recommendations. (2 family members, one family friend and thanks to the 2 or 3 of you from GC who have been so kind to help me too!) All of that for someone who thought they didnt know any greeks!

So, I've been away on vacation and am getting ready to head back up for the start of fall semester, but I cant seem to focus on classes with all of this sorority recruitment preparation. But anyhow, I have decided to nickname all the houses after cities since I love to travel and I can undoubtedly come up with 16 cities.

So from here, I just have one question, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should wear to the informational meeting the day before the parties start? And also, if anyone is familiar with UF's bid day, what on earth are we supposed to wear? I have gathered so far that we will be given a shirt from our sorority, but should we just show up in a khaki skirt or shorts? Any input would be awesome and thanks to all of you for your support to me and the other PNMs here on GC! :D

I'm not too familiar with UF's Recruitment, but I would guess that either of which you are more comfortable in will be fine.

If I didn't say it already, good luck!

UF's Delta Phi Epsilon has a beautiful new website!!

i'll bet that your recruitment counselor will go over what to wear on bid day. you can ask them if they don't tell you themselves. good luck with your recruitment!!

Wow all the chapters have such awesome websites and they obviously are all very strong in their own way... UF Greeks seem very involved and have alot of spirit. I was thinking of going to Florida for school, but i would have been all alone.

Sunshinesmiles, may you find your home and i know wherever that is, you will be happy and never look back.Honestly i don't see how you can go wrong with the chapters you have to choose from. Good Luck!!:D

smiley21 08-14-2004 08:29 AM

defintitely agree. do not listen to what anyone says. each chapter is so awesome. you cannot go wrong!!! have fun tomorrow!!
