Allrighty, update time!
Tonight I met with my Sigma Rho Chi group. I have four SPXs, which seems a little out of balance since there are nine PNMs in our group. But I'm sure people dropped out or they're expecting more or something. One of the girls said she estimates there'll probably be around 100 PNMs, which would put quota at around 13 or so. Anyhow, all four girls were very nice. The PNMs were a good mix of freshmen, sophmores, and juniors, so I didn't feel like I was too old or anything. Here's how the week is going to go:
Tuesday-
Theme parties/philanthropy for first four houses.
Wednesday-
Theme/philanthropy for second four houses.
Thursday-
Up to 6 houses for house tours.
Friday-
Up to 4 houses for skit night
Saturday-
Up to 3 houses for Pref night.
Sunday-
Bid day.
Things here are extremely casual. There's no dress code for any night aside from pref. We don't do any rankings until pref night, and the girls gave us the impression that we'll all probably be invited back to all 8 after the first round. Also, there's no big ceremony on bid day, at least when we pick up our bids (no sitting/standing on our cards, running to houses, etc.), just a big get-together that evening with all the houses, sisters, SPX revealing, etc.
I think it's going to be pretty fun! Hopefully I'll find a house with some great girls that I can become friends with, and if not I'll be happy to have been a "liason" from the GDI to the GLO worlds!
I don't know which houses I'll be visiting tomorrow yet. I'll try to update when I get back, but I've got an assload of reading and writing to do by wednesday, so we'll see!
Hey, at least my boyfriend is excited! He wants me to visit him at school (Vandy) so he can show off his sorority girlfriend...
