ern was an excellent rusher!
Although we did talk about underwear and boys...*gasp*! I used to work at Vickies so we talked about that and about my love of scrapbooking and ern's non-existent scrapbook for her boyfriend! haha!
I had decided that I was going greek from spring of my Junior year of HS so I was dead set in going to a school with a strong greek system. I knew a few girls at Butler who were DGs and Phis from when I stayed the night back in February of my Senior year of HS. I first learned about Pi Phi on the second day of classes though. I was in Dinosaur Evolution class sitting next to this girl who I just instantly clicked with. She was a Sophomore who invited me to a formal dinner at her sorority house the next Tuesday night. I was so nervous, this was my first time really going over to one of the houses for something official! I remember I sat next to Stephanie Gibas and the current president of the house. Gibas ended up being my Grand-big! After dinner I went up to Kristen's (the girl from my Dinosaur class) room and ended up staying until around 11PM! From then on Kristen and I were always hanging out during class and towards the end of the semester I would go out with her and some of her sisters to parties and steak & shake.
I was coming back from the Student Goverment Association Christmas Party for the voting members and I stopped by Snow Daze and I realized I already knew a lot of the girls in the house. I stayed there for the whole time of the event just hanging out and goofing off with the girls. I ended up coming to dinner one last time before Winter Break and I was there again for hours on end. I felt like if I didn't get into Pi Phi my heart would break!
Fast forward to rush! On the first day of rush Pi Phi was the last house I went to and by that point I was exhausted! The girl I was paired with I had met her but we had never really talked before and she wanted me to go on the house tour. (this is where I become the rushee from HELL...haha) I declined the tour because I felt I could give the house tour as well as she could! I ended up getting to talk to some of the upperclass girls and meeting some that I didn't know before rush. After that first day my love of Pi Phi wavered a little, I had seen what the other houses had to offer and wasn't quite sure if Pi Phi was still the one for me. After the second day when I fell in love with the skit (and talked to Erniegurl00
) I realized that Pi Phi still was a wonderful place and where I felt super comfortable.
On Pref night I was paired with Kristen, the girl from my Dinosaur class, I realized how much I missed talking to her due to silence and that if there was even one other girl in the house as fun as she was then I'd be ok. (Little did I know that there were tons like her in the house!
) On the way out that night I burst into tears, Kristen and I stood there hugging and crying until the Rho Chi forced me out the door so they wouldn't get a rush violation. I ended up putting Pi Phi first on my pref card. Kristen is my big sis and we're going to be rooming together in the fall. Although I've had my ups and downs with Pi Phi I still love it and wouldn't trade my experience for anything. I also wouldn't have met girls as wonderful as Erniegurl00 and Kristen!
PPL&Mine,
Jess
