Hey Everyone!!
Ahhhh! Open house starts in 12 hours and 25 minutes and I am feeling incredibly... everything! I am nervous, excited, anxious, calm, but most of all worried that I forgot something (i.e. something to wear!), but I think I am prepared. Heck, I have been looking forward to this for 6 months, I better be prepared.
Kickoff went well yesterday. Yes, the weather was extremely unfortunate, but all in all it was fine. There were so many girls! Upwards of 500 I think, which was completely unexpected. It was a little bit intimidating in the beginning, but once we broke up into groups it was a lot easier to handle.
The first 45 minutes were full of silly skits (some really cute, others sort of thrown together) and then we split up into our Gamma Chi groups. The groups are a lot larger than I expected (probably 50 girls a piece), but fortunately I know a few girls in the group and have already started to get to know some others. Our Gamma Chis are really great. One of them is in an organization with my best friend here, so that was a nice way to get to know her. We also got our tee-shirts that we have to wear tomorrow and they are SO TINY!!! I ordered a small, assuming that it would be a standard tee shirt like we get at every other Tulane function. But no, they were fitted. Needless to say, I will have quite a bit of flub hanging out, which may not be the best way to get to know my potential future sisters, but at least they will get to see the REAL me, right?
Of course, all of the other girls I have talked to had the same complaints, so at least I am not alone.
I got some final touches (shoes, jewelry, and the Victoria's Secret sale) for recruitment today, and I feel pretty good about my outfits and all. Now I need to get my beauty/sanity sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a looooooong day!
I will update either tomorrow night or Sunday morning! Goodnight and happy Friday!
