Hi everyone I'm back from day 1 which was just orientation.

This year there are 5 sororities participating in rush.
The three I already knew:
Phoebe
Piper
Prue

Then there were 2 other sororities that ended up joining in, a local and a new national sorority.

Paige
Patty.


So after they split us into groups and showed us the "dos" and "donts" of what to wear for this week, we got to visit each of the sororities.

First, I went to Phoebe. The girl that rushed me today was the same girl that rushed me last year---she even recognized me! She asked me why I was rushing again, and who I ended up bidding last year....but I was discrete and evaded the whole "who did u bid last year" question and just told her that last year I didn't follow my heart and I didn't go to where I belonged. There was another girl who gave me that "oh-I-know-you-from-somewhere-look" but she never came up and asked...so yeah. The girl that rushed me today would introduce me as "epchick...the girl that rushed last year" lol, but it was ok.

After Phoebe, I went to Patty. This is one sorority that didn't do rush with the NPC sororities last year, so it was good to find out about them. A friend of mine is in this sorority, but I didn't get to see her . I stayed real quiet in this group, and i dont know why, but I was just pretty much a silent observer.

The next group I went to was Prue. Ok, Prue is the sorority that I have history with, and one of the girls is my friend who ended up continuing to pledge after I stopped and so I spend most of my time talking to her. It was great seeing her again, I hadn't talked to her in sooooo long!

Then I went to Paige. This sorority also didn't participate in rush last year (the rush w/ the NPCs). A VERY small chapter (5 members) but its all good cause you could see how much they care for each other. Again in this group I pretty muched stayed quiet...I guess b/c this one and Patty were the sororities that I DIDNT know about, and so I just wanted to absorb as much info as I could.

The last group was Piper. Last year I really didn't like this group, but now my attitude has really changed about them. I found out today that the Chapter President of Piper was in my rush group last year, so that was cool---she is an awesome person. In this group was the first time I actually learned how you get a big sister---that was something I had not known. So yay! lol

I'm really excited to go back tomorrow. Tomorrow is philanthropy night, and this was the event that I couldn't attend last year, so i'm raring to go. So day 1 down, 4 more to go! lol
