Love the username, BTW. I got a Puffalump teddy bear for Christmas:

(That's him doing a sic 'em for Baylor...I can't believe I go to Baylor, I'm a KD, I love Puffalumps, and I just now got a Puffalump teddy bear? Haha. Cool, though.)

I added you to the list

OMG I wanted one of those SO bad when I was a kid. Not a bear specifically, just a puffalump. I have no idea why, I just did. Well, they're better looking than cabbage patch kids so...

They're the softest things ever and they started making them again before Christmas, but now I can't find them anymore. I guess there's still eBay? :(

stef, i love your teddybear!
i'm sooo excited about the rush now...

good luck teddybear!!

I got a pink cow puffalump when I was 6. 22 years later, she's a little worse for the wear, but still with me.

I bought the blue puppy for my son this Christmas. He's too young to really play with it, but I wanted him to have one.

aww!! i have a pink kitty named "puffy" who (yes, "who") i have slept with since i was a baby!! she's up in my bed right now :D i can't believe they are making 'em again!

good luck with recruitment!! keep us updated :)

Oh yes...I still sleep with most of my puffalumps...problem is, they take up half my bed. There's a cow, a bear, and a puppy from the new collection and two purple bunnies and a chicken that are the smaller older ones.

I've had one of my purple bunnies since my first Easter and slept with it ever since!

Good luck to teddybear!

thank u all!!
tmr will be the first day of the informal rush. I'm so excited and nervous.
i went to the info session last week and the rho chi said the dressing code would be just casual because most of the sorority girls will be wearing t-shirt and jeans.
so tmr I will be wearing t-shirt and jeans only.
I hope that will work.

Hi everybody,

I just went through the first day of the rush. I had so much fun.
I took the advice to dress nicer today.. and I wore a black turtleneck, skinny jeans and brown boots. and I wore a pink nova check coat and many sororities said it was cute and I was so happy.

So the following are my feelings about the chapter houses that i had visited.

PINK- I love it. The girl I met in the house was from the same city as I did, so we talked about the city a lot. However, the girl told me that people told her she was only supposed to "greet" only but suddenly people asked her to rush me. So it was her first time to rush people. I asked her lots of questions and I hope she would like me.

PURPLE- I love the house, but the only thing is that I didn't think the girl liked me. At the end of the party the president of this house came to me but we didn't really have a lot of time to chat so I didn't have a chance to impress her.

WHITE- I love the girl I talked to!!! She was so nice and told me so much about the sorority activities. I told her that it's my second time to rush because I didn't get a bid in the fall. She encouraged me and said I should try it again now too. I love her!

BLACK- OKAY, so I talked to about 4 girls and I have no clue whether I impressed them or not. One of the girl that I think she has a really pretty smile seemed very nice, yet I didn't think she liked me. I didn't know why.. it's just my feeling. I love the house though. It's so big.

BROWN- so I actually want to get into this house last fall. However I didn't receive any bid from them. I still love the girls.. I talked to 3 of them and I liked them all. One of the girls I talked to was from the same class with me and I'm gonna see her tomorrow morning!

Well. That's pretty much about it. I do have some preference on PINK, WHITE and BROWN. these are my top choices.
One thing is that. I thought I didn't mention, I rushed in the fall and I didn't receive I bid... I was honest about my situation to many sorority girls, but do u guys think it's a good thing to say? Or the girls would think I'm not good enough to receive a bid in fall and so they didn't want me to be there?
THANKS!

I wouldn't really mention that I'd been through rush once before--after all, if you're meeting a new set of girls, you should spend time getting to know the rusher and letting them get to know you. Chances are, they probably already know you've been through once before if you filled out an info sheet on yourself to register for rush.

I'm so glad you had a good day! Keep us posted on what happens throughout the week. Good luck! :)

stef,
i didn't mention until they asked me "did you rush in fall?"
i didn't wanna lie because it would give them a bad impression if they regconized me and knew i lied.
i hope it didn't hurt me from getting bid.
so far i only received call from 1 house. do you guys think it's possible to receive calls tomorrow too? or that's it?
i'm so nervous and couldn't sleep now:'(
