So here I sit, on my 35th birthday, reading your posts about UF rush... I can sense the excitement, the physical "rush" of it all that I first experienced 17 years ago... (ooh, to think you guys were like 2-3 yrs old when I sat in Norman Hall myself!
It's interesting to read about the UF traditions that still happen & how they've changed... the door decorations, the running from Normal Hall to Sorority Row (hmm...I don't remember it being so "dramatic" as it's been reported..)
We didn't have a "new member initiation" I don't think, but the girls who did not receive a bid were contacted.
As for my own Bid Day - oh, I was so nervous....even though I was a legacy @ KD. When I went up to get my card, one of my Rho Chi's handed it to me, & whispered in my ear "We're gonna be sisters!" Wahoo!
Curlygirly, you're doing the right thing by asking questions, but BOY, do YOU have an advantage knowing all this stuff ahead of time!
