Hi Dixiegirl,

I am an alumna from a JSU sorority... just wanted to say hello and good luck!

Wear comfortable shoes between parties... you'll be walking all over campus. I'll never forget the blisters I got that week because I didn't bring any! Also, have an umbrella handy, because you just never know. It poured the entire week of rush for me.

Are you staying in good ol' Sparkman?

I had the same room for 3 years... lol. Lots of fun times and memories!

Good luck and have fun!

Well, I just got in from the first round. It was all exciting but very nerve racking. I will start with each sorority as we went to them.

Fish-The girls I talked to were all nice but there wasn't really a click with them.

Cats-That girls I talked to here were, also, very nice and very friendly. I believe I clicked with them some I just don't know how much.

Rabbits-Here I felt like I was on a trane because as soon as we entered the room they showed us around in a circle one right behind one another. I was expecting alot more from them. There wasn't anything there.

Birds-These girls were very nice, friendly, and just all around good. Instantsly I thought I connected with them.

Dogs-These girls looked too much like robots. I know they have been practing and practing but even when they came to get us, they all walked the same way. I didn't like the way they came off to me.

If I had to rank them as of tonight it would be:
Birds
Cats
Fish
Rabbits
Dogs

Well we'll see what happends tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last of open rounds.

well, have another great day tomorrow!!! i am sure that as the days go on, you will get a better feeling for each house. i don't know how long the parties were, but i am guessing they were pretty short. as the parties get longer, you will be able to see more of each chapter.

I hope you have another good day tomorrow.

Just a note about not clicking with people and people seeming like robots- the first night of recruitment is usually just as nerve-wracking and scary to the sorority women as it is to the PNMs! I'm sure you've heard that before, but I just thought I'd reiterate it ;-) I know it's definitely one of the things that my group struggled with- as time went on during recruitment week we got much more comfortable, and of course had better conversations with the women because of that. That may not be the issue- maybe they just aren't the right groups for you. Just be ready to be surprised later on down the road if you like them more than you did after the first night!

Recruitment kind of like extreme sports like sky diving or bungee jumping (for me, at least, not that I've done any of them!)- I felt totally anxious and panicked at first but once I got over that, I could just slow down and enjoy the ride and the exhiliration of meeting new people, having great conversations, and finding new sisters- if not sisters in my sorority, sisters in the Greek community! I know that probably sounds weird, but it's the best way I can describe the way I felt on the other side of recruitment, recruiting for new members.

Anyway, good luck with everything! I hope that you are happy with your invites- go birds!

Well, I just got in from the rounds. I want tell alot about what all we did today because if I did I think it would give each sorority away.

First today, we went to the Birds. Then it was on to the Dogs. Thirdly was the Fish and fourth was the Cats. And lastly was the Rabbits.

Birds=I connected excellent with these girls. I feel like that I connect best with them. I feel at home with these girls.

Dogs=They were better today. I connected today with them about the same as I did yesterday with the Fish.

Fish=Yesterday was a good day but today they just didn't seem really that interested in me. Maybe they just had an off day or soemthing.

Cats=Oh my goddness! These girls were also excellent. I would have to say I connected very well with them today, also. I feel very comfortable with these girls but I don't know if I could afford them because they are a tad more expense then the other sororities.

Rabbits=The girls were great and all but I just think they are the group for me. Although, I have to say what we did today was very cute.

Ranking for today
Birds
Cats
Dogs
Fish
Rabbits

I have to go back at 8 to get the list of invites. I'll post who invites me back afterwards.

dixiegirl15 · #42 08-24-2005, 10:03 PM

Well, I'm just got back from getting my invite list. I only got invited back to the Fish

. I'm going to skit tomorrow but if something doesn't change tomorrow, I will prolly be dropping come tomorrow night. I just didn't connect well enuff with them to say that I want my life to change with them. Well, I'll see how tomorrow goes but I'm not too happy that I didn't get invited back to my first 2 choices. I'm really down. But see how tomorrow goes.

i'm sorry to hear that you were cut by some favs. it is great that you are going to give fish a chance for skit night. personally, (and i am not on your campus, so i don't know if your night is similar to the one i am used to), i always felt that skit night was the most superficial night of rush. on one hand, the parties are longer, so you get more time to talk to people. on the other hand, the fact that a handful of the chapter can put on a great (or not so great) does not make the chapter more like your home. you might even want to go to pref if you are invited to really get the feeling for the sisters. plus, pref gives you a chance to see who your potential pledge sisters will be.

Keep your chin up sweetie. It's great that you will be attending skit night <<BIG HUG>>>

::hug:: I'm sorry you got cut, but I'm glad your going to give Fish another chance. I hope tomorrow night goes well for you.
