Christi's Spring Rush @ UF

[christi86]

Alright, let's begin this one again, using some sort of system and not too many facts. (If you've been keeping up with me, you'll probably know who I'm talking about. If not, good! )

We have sorority Chocolate. They were polite and helpful when I went to speak to them. They told me about a few parties happening next week and said they'd call.

Vanilla girls were nice but I felt a little uncomfortable speaking to them. Probably just nerves on my part. They e-mailed me today with next week's parties and one sounds like a huge amount of fun! I'll have to get in contact.

Strawberry didn't make a very good first impression but agreeing with others who've posted, she may have had a bad day. Regardless, they were supposed to receive my phone number and e-mail to invite me to next week's parties via some form I had filled out.

I just hope that if none of these come through I still have a good shot at Fall recruitment. Hopefully, they can look past my expected graduation date and see that I'm awesome

Good luck at informal recruitment. Go Gators!

Good luck! You'll enjoy spring recruitment! Don't worry about what people will think of you if you do join a sorority, you are doing this for you and at this time that's all that matters Remember, take this one day at a time, it's less overwhelming that way. Take care!

Good luck. I hope you find a happy home! I always liked informal rush better than formal. Much more relaxed and we really got to know the PNMs better than through rounds.

And speaking as a pro-legacy supporter, go Phi Mu!

Your friend does have a point about you having more choices if you do formal rush, but if you find yourself clicking with a chapter during COB don't be afraid to pledge if that's where you really want to be. Good luck!

ditto what achtungbaby said. if you like a chapter that is holding informal recruitment, and they offer you a bid, and you want to take it, do.

and thank you for filling us in. can't wait for the update after the information session tonight.

I agree with the above posts. Have a great time and if you click with one of the groups, go for it!!

while it is good that you feel a connection with the girls you met so far, i would suggest waiting to share your initial thoughts and feelings with them until you have met more members and have a few more parties under your belt. you don't want to rush anything(on your part or theirs). just give them some time to get to know you. you have been non-greek for a whole semester-a few more weeks really won't matter.

look at this hypothetical- you are on a first date. would you tell your date that you are not going to date any other guys, or that you have already made up your mind, and are sold on him? he would run, not walk to the nearest exit. while the sorority members won't have the exact same reaction as a guy, it might send up a red flag that you are more in to being a member of ANY sorority, rather that being a member of their sorority.

did your sister send a recommendation for you? if not, she should,asap.

i am sorry that you had a less than terrific conversation with the member of the other sorority, and it is too bad for that chapter that their representative was not on top of her game last night.
i hope that things work out for you this semester. just take things a little slower than you intended(pace yourself) and you should do fine.
