My Rush at UCI

Maroon5grl · #1 09-24-2003, 11:55 PM

Hey everyone!! I know I don't post here much but I read this board a lot. Rush starts Saturday for me, but I've already been to all the sorority booths and met a ton of girls at the Panhellenic picnic so I'd better get this started, to organize my own thoughts too!

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Phi
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi

I am using names of (random) Disney ladies to identify each hehehe:

Cinderella
Snow White
Jasmine
Ariel
Alice
Sleeping Beauty
Lilo
Belle

First impressions from the booths:

Snow White: Their shirts were really cute and they are all gorgeous. One of my staffers from summer orientation was there, I didn't even know she WAS a Snow White until I saw her at the booth! She's just great and if she's any indication of the rest of her chapter, I'm totally excited to meet more of them.

Lilo: They were really nice and what struck me was what a diverse group they were, which is something that I really liked about them. However, they didn't try as much as the others to make conversation and I don't really remember anything special that we talked about.

Jasmine: I LOVE them already. I talked to two girls whose names I still remember (when you meet soooo many people you feel really victorious to remember some names hahahah!). One was sooo sweet and we were talking for a really long time, and the other was hilarious. Also at the picnic, one of them came and said hi to me even though she had to leave just then. I thought that was so nice of her to remember me and just come and say hi even though she had to run.

Alice: These girls are SO beautiful. The girl at the booth was telling me about why she loved her sorority so much and about how much they supported her and was so proud of her, and she started tearing up! I thought that was so sweet. I talked to more of them at the picnic and one of them was giving me advice on my classes which was greatly appreciated too!! I really like them!

Cinderella: The girl we talked to at this booth was really pretty but kind of ditzy sounding. But she was talking about how she thought she'd never join a sorority but it was the best decision she'd made in college. She also said that her sisters really helped her balance the sorority and her schoolwork and helped her out with her classes. That was kind of nice to hear because I realllllly want to do well at UCI because I want to go to grad school at UCLA, so academics are pretty darn important to me.

Sleeping Beauty: I really liked these girls! I had a long involved conversation with them about how hard it is to straighten curly hair hahahahaha! They seemed really open and were really funny too, which is important to me because I laugh a LOT and I definetely want sisters who I can giggle with.

Ariel: At the picnic me and my two friends who are rushing with me sat down with like four of these girls and talked for two hours. I LOVEEE them. Their closeness and affection for each other was sooo evident in the way that they acted. Honestly, while our conversations were really awesome too, just observing how close they were with each other was really nice and made me want to get to know them better.

Okay that's all for now! I'm registering tomorrow and Saturday is the first day of rush. I'm SO excited, if nothing else to just meet more awesome people because I had soo much fun today.

Also, I am the last rush thread of a GCer! The other two that are left are a GCer's friend and cousin, I think. Thanks for reading this you guys! It even really helps sort out my mind to write it all down!!
