Since I have been so enthralled by everyone's stories, I wanted to post my own. I will wait until JessSigKap is finished with hers first. But here is my introduction:

Elon has deffered recruitment and I knew nothing about sororities except that they got to wear letters and live in reallly nice houses and have parties. I also had heard about the stereotypes of each house (which of course were dramatically incorrect as I would soon find out). My roomate and suitemate who were very southern convinced me that I had to go through recruitment and be in a sorority. I was from the north and they took me shopping with them in Charlotte to get clothes for recruitment, to get my eyebrows waxed, nails done and a haircut. They also made me read "Why Princess Margaret Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma" and would do mock questions with me.

Basically my entire hall was going through recruitment. Some were clueless -- kinda like me and some were all gung-ho -- like my roomate and suitemate. However, my best friend on my hall was not going through recruitment because she had been diagnosed with Lymes disease and was going home for a few weeks.

At this point, there were 6 sororities on campus:
(in no particular order and I am using yoga stuff for my names)

Half Moon
Shanti
Down Dog
Warrior
Om
Lotus

Let me know if when you want me to continue....
