Okay so I got realllllly into journaling every night and started on move in/Rho Gamma first meeting night(:

Day One

So my mom and I were moving and halfway through my t-shirts my Rho Gamma popped her head in to ask if I was one of her Rho Babes. She put a little name card on my door to mark me as hers. It was super cute and I definitely loved it more than the one my RA made. RG's had a little lion sticker and it was perfect.

I still had to drop my mom off at her hotel since we're from California and she couldnt just leave for home that day. When I got back there was a note from my Rho Gam on my door telling her Rho baby to meet up in the study at 4. I still had quite awhile, so heeding my sisters advice I left my door open and proceeded to organize my desk. 3:50 rolled around, so I moseyed down to the study and saw my Rho Gamma. There were two girls already there who looked like they were already best friends. After awkward hellos were exchanged I discovered that they indeed were best friends. Two more girls came in and after a bit we were al there. I looked around myself and saw just how many were already friends. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only out of state kid not living with my bff. It made me scared that I wouldnt make friends with these girls.

At this first Rho Gamma meeting we did the typical ice breaker awkward name game, but then we started talking about our fears for recruitment. My personal fear was not finding my "home" or making a connection. After the meeting came to a close, one girl stood up and politely said she didn't think RG meant her when she put the Rho babe sign on her door because she wasn't rushing and had no idea what a sorority was....oops.

After the meeting, I had called my mom for one last dinner before she left to go back to California. Someone had recommended Fireside Grill. So off we went. And to those of you who have told me about Cougar Gold cheese. Oh my Lord. The Cougar Gold Mac & Cheese: to die for. But anyways, after that we went to Walmart to pick up water, Advil, Midol...the usual things to have in a dorm room. Halfway through...I started crying. For so long I'd been holding that in. I'm such a momma's girl its not even funny. So I stayed with my mom again that night. Which I'm pretty sure made her night because we laid in her bed and cuddled like I was five again watching Harry Potter and House.

I'll post Days 2 and 3 together probably in a few minutes!(:
