Now to continue on with the story!
I woke up the next morning so excited to get the day started. I couldn’t wait to see what rush was all about. Since UCF day is the least casual of all the days, I decided on a pink top with a jean skirt and black flip-flops. So I finished getting ready and I went and picked up my friend, I’ll call her Courtney, who was also rushing. Courtney and I had met through Facebook over the summer and she was the only other girl I knew that was rushing so I was happy to know at least one person already.
My Rho Gamma told us that we would be meeting at the tent out front Barbados to get the day started. So I arrived there, checked in with my Rho Gamma, and went and sat down. After everyone arrived at the tent we took we took roll call and then learned the “chant” for Barbados. Soon enough the Rho Gammas told us to all line up out front of the house, which was GORGEOUS might I add! I had heard some rumors about Barbados, about how the girls are “easy” and “slutty” but I was so excited to go into my first house and to hopefully see that the rumors were wrong.
The Rho Gammas then told us to start the chant which would “let us in” to the house. I figured we would just say the chant once and then the doors would open, but NO! After we said it once it came SCREAMING back at us from inside the house! I was totally NOT expecting it and it scared me for a second! So after we exchanged the chant a few times the doors opened and music started playing and the girls started singing, I was SO overwhelmed! This was not what I was expecting at all! I figured we would quietly be led into the house and everything would be very prim and proper, was I ever wrong!
It had started to sprinkle a little bit outside when we were waiting so I was happy to get into the house. One of the Barbados girls then led me over to a different room and started talking to me. The conversation went really well we just discussed different activities we were into, what TV shows we watched, and different things to do in Orlando. I talked to a couple other girls after her as well and both the conversations went well too. All the girls seemed really nice and pretty and I definitely had a good feeling about Barbados by the time we had to leave.
The next house we went to was Kiawah! We sat down again and learned the chant and this time when we were at the door I knew what to expect! So we walked into Kiawah and I started talking to a girl. Our conversation went well enough but I wasn’t really getting good vibes from her. She seemed sort of “fake” and so did a couple of the other girls I talked to. I felt like looks wise though the girls looked more like me, tall and brunette! But this wasn’t an audition for a fashion show I wanted nice, sincere sisters!
The next house was Sicily! I hadn’t heard anything about this sorority before so I was eager to see what they were all about. I had a lot in common with the first girl I started talking to and it was definitely one of my best rush conversations so far, but all the other girls I talked to just seemed so awkward and weird! It really turned me off, so I was eager to get to my next house.
The next house was Capri and one of the girls I went to high school with who was 3 years older then me was in this sorority. I was Facebook friends with her so I had already seen some of her albums with Capri and they all seemed like really cute and fun girls so I was eager to meet them. We walked into the house and the first girl I talked to was SO hilarious! She was so entertaining and funny I couldn’t stop laughing! The next girl I talked to was equally as funny and I felt really good about this sorority by the end. Not to mention that it seemed like quite a diverse sorority. Everyone had a different look to them which I liked.
The next house was Bali! I had only heard good things about this sorority so I was excited to meet them. When we walked in they had such a cute opening song, I’ll definitely never forget it! The first girl I talked to was absolutely WONDERFUL! She was so sweet and the conversation never stopped once. The other girls I talked to were equally as welcoming. They were definitely going to be my top house by the end of the day.
Ok so I decided I’m going to split my UCF day post up into 2 posts since its going to be so long! So stay tuned for the rest of the sororities!
