Are these "annexes" she speaks of attached to the main houses or are they in a different location altogether? Is living in the annex good (i.e. more low key than the main house) or is it someplace that people get "stuck" when they are low woman on the totem pole?

In my house, we have an annex which is located directly next door with a courtyard so you can even walk through without shoes. The seniors can come and go from the main house because they still eat with us and hang out, but have the freedom to go to their own living room and make their own food in their kitchen if they please. They have nicer and larger rooms/facilities so it's really a nice place to live. They used to put all of the senior's composite shots on the walls of the annex, so it was like a badge of honor to be living there. I wouldn't let an annex discourage you, they can be really get for an upperclassmen woman making the transition into more freedom and responsibility. Also we have movie nights in their living room and can bake in their kitchen, so it's good for underclassmen too.

SuzieQ, I just wanted to send my well wishes to you for a great recruitment!! I can't wait for your September Recruitment to start, either, as I need some diversion, and my drug of choice is the recruitment thread on GC. And just so you know, I'm pulling for none of the ones you've already seen. My fave has got to be the lily... a calla lily.

Hi there S.Q.!! I wanted to wish you the best of luck with your upcoming recruitment!! I am also a Washington state Greek Chatter transplanted from another Pacific Northwest state. Though I usually root for the Cougs when they play the Dawgs, I will root for you as you go through your Recruitment! Have a great time and don't be afraid to go with how you are really feeling throughout the week!!

Update: I'm currently living in the dorms with about 300 other incoming freshmen. If I don't end up in a sorority I will be staying in my dorm room for the academic year. I'm really excited for recruitment (12 more days!!!) but on the other hand I'm having a blast in the dorm. I already love my friends and it will be hard to choose to leave the dorms... but I'm sure I would be happy in either the dorms or in a sorority.

**hug** you have such a great attitude! It makes me so happy to hear people coming to college and being excited about new beginnings. Good luck w/ whatever happens!

I'm so glad that you're having a blast at college thus far! Keep that positive attitude and don't worry about "leaving" anyone. You'll still be at the same school, right?

I LOVE my preference dress. Fingers crossed that I'll get to wear it on Saturday!

I know what I'm going to wear now for the open house days (jeans and the t-shirts they gave us), philanthropy (day dress), and preference.

For the house tours, I have my tops picked out and am deciding on the bottoms. The description for this day is "a casual skirt or nice pants with a blouse." Do you think a miniskirt would be okay? I have a denim miniskirt that I'm not sure about, and another miniskirt that I think would be fine. I'm afraid that the denim skirt is too casual. The alternative would be jeans, a longer demin skirt, or a corduroy skirt. All would go well with my top. What do you think? Or I suppose I could use this as an excuse to go shopping again.

That actually sounds very appealing.

Tomorrow is going to be a very long day!
