All right! Tonight was the first round of events at UNCG, and they went really well, I thought. We've got a really young chapter at UNCG (at least 2/3 of the chapter is my pledge class from last fall) and we were pretty nervous going in, but it felt really awesome at the end!
I talked to some absolutely darling girls, too. We had great conversations about all kinds of things (from sprained ankles to big sisters to pep band), and they were fresh-faced, energetic, and really seemed to get into the conversation.
There were maybe four or five girls who I really connected with. One of them is a KD legacy (we don't have them on our campus), and everyone in my group loved her. She walked in and said, "Wow, everyone in my Gamma Rho Chi group couldn't wait to come to Phi Mu! We were so excited because it's so PINK! Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink!" She was really cute.
The first girl I picked up at the very first event was great, too. She seemed really excited to be there, and had a lot of good questions.
At the second-to-last party, I picked up two girls who were my two favorites! The conversation between all three of us flowed very well, with no one person dominating the conversation. We were all involved in music (one girl is a music major, which is exciting...I didn't think any were going through!) and we're all from the mid-atlantic region. We didn't get much longer to talk because we bumped, but they seemed just as excited by the similarities as I was.
I am very excited....I'm maybe a little worried still, since we're so inexperienced as a chapter, and since all of the other chapters on campus are really strong. But so far we've had great alumnae support, and our advisor is amazing.
