I'm curious to hear a bit more about your impressions on each house. What did you love about your favorites? What were the parties like?

GatorGirl is probably choosing to be discreet with her details and who can blame her? She'll tell us what she wants to when she wants to. If she reveals too much...well some GCers might be able to figure out what group she's talking about. Maybe after rush is over she'll be able to say more.

Thank you for your updates sweetie & good luck!

Gotcha, ZTA Mich! I just thought that with so many girls going through rush at UF, nobody would have any clue who she was. But, I guess it's better to err on being vague.

But when it's all over... I want details!

So I have to say that this morning I was a nervous wreck, and sleeping was close to impossible.

But fortunately I was very very happy when I recieved my schedule...

Out of the 11 that I wanted to return to the most, two dropped me, and my top two replacements asked me back so those were put into my schedule. One of the two that dropped me was one house that I liked a lot, and the other I was just ok with. So my list looked something like this:

1. Burberry
2. Chanel
3. Dooney and Burke
4. Coach
5. Vera Bradley
6. Brighton
7. Marc Jacobs
8. Fendi
9. Louis Vuitton
10. Kate Spade
11. Versace

The two that dropped me were Balenciaga (I was just ok with), and Gucci (I liked).

So far I'm sooooooooooo happy...I hope I made good second impressions on my favorite houses today...and I hope everything goes great tomorrow!

Tomorrow we go down to 7! So i'll keep everyone posted.

So tonight we picked our top 7, and ranked our least favorite 4 in order from favorite to least favorite (sorry a bit confusing)

here's my top 7:

1. Burberry
2. Chanel
3. Coach
4. Brighton
5. Marc Jacobs
6. Fendi
7. Louis Vuitton

Bottom 4 in order:
1. Dooney and Burke
2. Vera Bradley
3. Kate Spade
4. Versace

...keeping my fingers crossed for my favorite houses to ask me back. *prays* WISH ME LUCK!

[mmcat]

[gatorgirl44]

Didn't want to keep everyone waiting to see what happend...

i was dropped by all my favorites, and i formally withdrew. stinks, but everything happens for a reason i guess.


good luck to everyone else rushing this year.

[blueangel]

I'm so sorry to hear your news. I was rootin' for ya and had all my fingers and toes crossed.

[epchick]

Oh wow, I'm sorry about your favorites dropping you---did any of the "bottom 4" ask you back? I'm sorry, your right though. Everything happens for a reason, you can always try again in the spring! Well take care
