suzieQ's Fall 2006 Rush @ UW!

[BadSquirrelBeta]

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?

It's Friday! Tomorrow I'm getting a haircut and a manicure and going shopping for a dress for preference. I have day dresses and formal gowns but nothing really good for in between. Then on Sunday I have orientation at 1!

Next week is going to be exhausting. I'm doing a program called "Early Fall Start" where freshmen live in the dorms and take one class mon-thur for a month before actual school starts. It's a really cool program because it lets freshmen have the campus to themselves before the thousands of other students get here. However, it means that next week is my finals week. I'm trying to get as much done as I can ahead of time (I've done my reading already for next week) but it's still going to be stressful to have class from 9:30-12 and then be at recruitment events all day after that!

Here's the schedule for next week:

Monday

12:00 PNMs meet in sections
12:45 - 8:40 Open House Events 1-8

yay another rush thread! these are so much fun!! best of luck girl!

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!

I personally would not wear a miniskirt because you may be sitting down, and you don't want to be uncomfortable or weird for that.

Or sitting on the floor, bending over, etc. Better not to risk a peep show and save the mini-skirt for a party.

True...an accident in that skirt could make you a memorable PNM for not the so right reason...stick to spilling punch or tripping as you go into your MOST FAVORITE house for that--I AM JUST KIDDING !!

Go shopping...and post to us what you wear. The fashion play by plays are the best !!

HAVE A GREAT TIME!!

Agreed, the longer one might be better. Or just wear pants. Easier to sit in and get up and down in.

Two things to remember with mini skirts:

*If the entire universe can see your goodies when you bend over, it's too short.

*If you have to constantly pull on it to keep it from riding up, it's too short.
