UCF Recruitment Fall 2010
 
Retro movies, modern recruitment!

So I'm Kristen. I'm a sophomore at UCF and I couldn't be more excited about recruitment! I've been dreaming about joining a sorority since Legally Blonde came out (and I have no issues saying that =P) and now that it's almost here I can hardly contain my excitement! I love reading the recruitment stories on here, especially the live ones, so mine will be live! Our orientation is Aug 16 and then on the 17th we start going to houses! I'm so excited to find my sisters!!

Up until recruitment actually starts, I'm gonna be updating here with little things I'm doing to get ready, etc.

And here we go...

The theme of this recruitment thread will be... SEVENTIES MOVIES!! The 70s was definitely my favorite decade in film. Hopefully everyone else will enjoy the story and the movies =P

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Grease
Jaws
Kramer vs. Kramer
Paper Moon
Rocky
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Star Wars
Taxi Driver
Willy Wonka

=D Hope everyone else going through recruitment is as excited as I am!

Much love, Kristen

Kristen,
I can't wait to read all about your endeavors.

Be careful what you post, I already know your name, your college status, and major... and if you mention anything about potentially going to FSU and switching, plenty of girls can figure out who you are on here.

Not to discourage you, just want the best ending for you!!

I love UCF stories, ahem, I may be partial :) But Good luck!!

Yay Rocky Horror Picture Show! They used to have midnight showings for a couple of years at a local movie theater in my college town-nothing like going to parties and ending up at the midnight showing. The people watching and audience participation were as fun as the movie. BTW, I saw Tim Curry in something recently-unfortunately he has not aged gracefully. Kinda looked like he had been ridden hard and put away wet. Anyway, good luck, I hope you enjoy the experience and find a great home!

LOVE the theme!!! You PNMs just get more creative each year with the themes. Good luck!

Ahh I'm so excited!!! I won't say much since I am a UCF active but PLEASE keep and open mind and make THE MOST of the upcoming week, if you do chances are you will find a really great place to call home. Good Luck with Recruitment!

kramer vs. kramer...taxi driver...you have outstanding (and unconventional for your age) taste in movies. Kudos

krrrristen 08-08-2010 02:56 PM

thank you elle! i'm a super huge movie geek =P

I potentially have a rec for Rocky Horror. I'm thinking I should follow through with that (since it's the only rec I could have... no greeks in my family or close friends), but then I also wonder if it's worth the trouble to just get one rec. 700 girls go through recruitment, I can't imagine one recommendation making that much of a difference (especially since the UCF Pan website says that if a sorority needs a recommendation for you they will get one). Thoughts?

Get the one rec, one is better than none. And the chapters don't know how many recs you got for any chapter but for themselves.

FSUZeta 08-08-2010 05:57 PM

kristen, get recs.

Yes, double kudos...and oh to think of the skits that might go w/ some of these choices.

Agree w/ everyone who said get recs...ask around and try to find them for ALL the sororities. It's kind of late but try anyway.

I don't think that a chapter is going to secure recs from 700 PNMs. In fact, I think as a PNM, you should secure the rec through an alumna. I hear that UCF recruitment is getting more competitive year by year.

@Mittens... very true. Also, since I'm a sophomore it is definitely going to benefit me (Don't you love how I asked that question like I didn't know the answer? I totally did.)

My sponsor for Rocky Horror had actually already mailed in a rec for me without saying anything! I was so relieved that she did that. I've been going through old high school friends and found three who could write them for me (granted, they're all actives, but I figure that's better than nothing). If all goes well, by this time tomorrow I will know for sure whether or not I have them for Taxi Driver, Willy Wonka, and Rocky (also potentially Close Encounters, but I'm not counting on that one). Thanks for the support everyone, I don't think you know how much it means to me. <3
