U of I colonization events

[illinoispnm]

Does anyone happen to know what the UofI colonization events are going to be like? The website has times and places but nothing about what will be happening, what to wear, etc and the first event (other than our formal recruitment) is Monday! I don't want to show up in jeans and a T-shirt and have everyone else wearing cocktail dresses .

Call the Greek Life office at your school. They should be able to advise you as to what to wear to the first day at least. Also, check with other girls in your dorm who may be attending as well to compare outfits.

Good Luck to you!

another route would be to contact the resident consultant .. her contact informatation can be found here.

this is just my opinion .. but I'd suggest, for the first event, business casual. nice top and slacks should be ok.

good luck!! keep us posted!!

Since I've noticed that there are at least a few pnm's interested in Alpha Xi Delta's colonization lurking the GC boards (including myself) I thought I would share what I found. It seems as though the locations and times were just updated last night (Wednesday). You can find them all here:

As far as what to wear, I'm not really sure myself. If anyone has an idea or finds out more information, please share!

Edit: I did not read your full post AZ-AlphaXi--Thanks for the suggestion!

On the Illinois webpage is a picture of four girls from my daughter's chapter. It's one of the ones on the top that rotates through-three blondes and a brunette wearing their jerseys. Cute!

Good luck to Illinois and their potential new sisters!

the website just put up descriptions of what each event is going to be. Seems the first few events are casual although I've always been told "better to be over dressed than under dressed" so I hope no one takes that as permission rock the hot pants or short shorts.

Does anyone have an update on the Kappa Recolonization? I think recruitment for the colony started this week.

MaggieXi - if you log on to InCircle there's a group for Kappa's recolonization. People on the recolonization team are providing updates on there.

And lovespink88 - good luck to you!

Thanks AlphaXi_Husky! I'm excited to see a Zeta Xi helping with the colonization.

ahhh I was just coming to post this, but you beat me to it!

I just walked passed cause I don't really remember what the house looked like... and let's just say at the moment you can definitely tell it was a fraternity.. hehe. But I am very excited to see how nice Alpha Xi makes it!

I think alot of girls are going to be very happy that the house is in Champaign vs. Urbana. I know I am! I mean, if the house was in Urbana it would not change my mind about going trough recruitment, but I just think Champaign is better for many reasons. YAY!

According to the national website, they've found housing!
