Ok I just got my invitations back a few minutes ago!
I got invited back to 12 of 13 and so I cut two. I guess it's time to name them haha with planet names! haha

Pluto- I really liked them but I thoughy I was going to
Neptune- Liked them but didn't really get a chance to learn a bunch
Uranus- Don't see myself here at all but couldn't cut them
Saturn- REALLY liked probably one of my favorites but I didn't think going in I would really like them
Jupiter- Didn't know anything about them going in but I really liked them
mars- don't really see myself here
Earth- they're good
Venus- good too
mercury- really good
Sun- fine

I'm trying to figure out which ones I could really see myself at but I really like alot of them. I'm alot less nervous now and it's all turning out really good so far. Thanks for all the support!!

Congratulations! We've all been so excited by the Bamathreads that some of us might have missed yours. Please come back and tell us more!

What's the schedule for the rest of recruitment? Is it really true that some of the sororities are getting houses and moving out of the Panhellenic building?

Whenever I've talked to a UT Zeta, the whole panhellenic building thing has struck me as particularly weird. It does seem to work there, though. Greek life seems strong at Tennessee.

Now if they could only do something about their unfortunate school color. We have to drive through Knoxville quite often, and all that orange makes me feel like I should slow down for road construction. (Just kidding)

Good luck!

That's a GREAT return rate! Hope that pattern continues - and that you make a lot of new friends!

Okay.....Well orange is the greatest color in the world. No other schools have it so when you see the certain shade of bright orange you think of the great vols haha. you gotta love it. Panhellenic seems really strong here because they all meet in the same building for meetings and all (well alot of them) live on different floors in the same dorm so they all seem really close with other sororities not as much competition as some other SEC schools. But they are in the first stages of getting approval for houses and they are trying to put them in a groupd together but they're just isn't alot of space around here. I'm loving UT and rush!! Today I visted:

uranus- liked them alot better today but can't see myself here as much as some of them
saturn-really like them still!!! alot
earth- liked them alot today
venus- really like them
sun- not really for me, i think they're gonna cut me cause i was bored here...really just tired

tomorrow is pluto, neptune, jupiter, mars, and mercury then cuts come on wednesday. i'm expecting big cuts this next round cause i had alot of recs so that may be the only reason they asked me back..iduno.

Good Luck to you during rush and good ole Rocky Top this fall - bet you are going to have a blast at those big football games no matter what happens!

I have to agree with you about the orange! Having gone to Syracuse you learn to love the color and after four years you find that you own alot of orange t-shirts.

Good luck today!
