I'm really reaching here... Ok.

I rushed in 1997 at UCF. Here were our sororities at that time:
ADPi*
Alpha Xi
Tri-Delta*
KD*
DG*
Pi Ph*i
ZTA*


* had a house at that time (since 97, we have added Chi-O, Kappa, Theta, and AEPhi colonizes this fall! Currently, none of these chapters has a house. DG has sold its house and Alpha Xi now lives there. DG is still a sorority on campus, though, and thank goodness!)

At Greek Orientation, we met our Recruitment Counselors. Mine was a girl named Melissa. We got pink cups with Greek Letters painted on them and candy as a welcome gift. I befriended two PNM's (we were still calling them rushees then) named Melissa and Kellie.

Day One: Ice Water Day. We went to all 7 houses.
Day Two: Diversity Day. We went to all 7 houses. (This was replaced the following year with Philanthropy Day... Diversity Day consisted of brief skits.) At the end of this day, we ranked 4 sororities we would like to visit the next day.
Day Three: Skit Day (this has since been replaced with Video Day) I went to ZTA, ADPi, KD and Alpha Xi.
Day 4: Prefs. I went to ADPi first, then ZTA. (Melissa the other rushee, had gone to Pi Phi and Alpha Xi. Kellie had gone to Tri-Delta and Pi Phi.)
BID DAY: I got my first choice, and so did my friends! I ran to the ADPi house, Kellie to Tri-Delta, and Melissa to Pi Beta Phi!

Since my bid, I've been a live-in house girl, a diamond sis, pride leader, on exec, joined my alumnae association and served on exec, been a chapter adviser and an international officer... so I guess I made the right choice for me! I love UCF Greek Life because we aren't exclusive when it comes to Greek friendships-- everyone is friends with women in other sororities... In time, I developed my own little Panhellenic clique-- an ADPi, a Chi-O, a Tri-Delta, a KD and an Alpha Xi
