Tonight was the 1st night, but not the OFFICIAL official night of rush. It was basically an info night and an introduction of the Recruitment Counselors and the different sororities. Since I've been on campus since january, i knew the affiliations of a few of the Counselors. The meeting lasted from 7-9. Apparently, about 75 extra girls showed up for rush than anticipated and were being registered on the spot. Late registering costs $75, up from $55 during the normal time period. I met two nice girls, one a sophomore, one a freshman while waiting to be let in the auditorium.
The Rho Chis performed a few skits, basing it off of MTV's Sorority Life, Survivor, and American "Sorority" Idol. It was pretty cute and I kind of liked how in general, everyone seemed to be just into the moment and being very casual. It made the whole thing a lot less intimidating that they didnt seem to really put on any "airs" or whatever, lol. Everybody just seemed to be very excited and wanted us to relax and just have a good time. I was so nervous all the way leading up to this, and now I am just really looking forward to meeting some cool girls tomorrow. Tomorrow my group meets at 9:15 and we will go to all 11 houses(One of the Rho Chis was an EK, so I assume perhaps they ARE going through rush, but I don't know where we will meet their girls because they lost their house). The whole thing will go from there until about 6, 6:30.

The weather may or may not be cold, but tomorrow I plan to wear a semi-long,maybe mid-calf?!? form fitting dark green cotton/nylon skirt and tight black sweater with buttons on the collarbone area from Banana Republic. For shoes, I'm thinking my black leather Bongo slides with a slight heel. Jewelry is pretty minimalist, I'm just wearing what I wear everyday, my high school class ring and a sapphire ring my parents gave me for christmas and white gold semi-hoop earrings.

The whole look is pretty sophisticated. After tomorrow, there will be the first cut, so I definitely want to dress to impress. They suggested to dress casual, but no jeans, but I want to just go ahead and look my personal best because that is just part of my style. I like to be fashion-conscious as well as appropriate for the occasion. I will be getting some shut-eye now...boy am I tired!!!
