sparklysmile's UCF rush story

Go Rasberries!

[SparklySmile]

so the first day of recruitment at UCF is called "UCF DAY". you visit all the houses and spend 25 minutes in each one. The chapters that dont have houses use the fraternity houses for rush.

The first day is suppose to be really casual. i wore dressy shorts that went up to my knee's and a trendy top. I also wore heals. It was alot of walking and i really should have brought flip-flops but the shoes i had went perfect with the outfit.

Going into recruitment i thought i knew exactly were i would fit in and exactly were i wanted to go. i knew girls from this chapter and had hung out with them alot. Looking back i realize that just because you can be friends with a few girls doesnt mean that you can be their sister.

so after the first day this was my feeling on the chapters..

1. strawberry- these girls had a beautiful house and i knew alot of girls in this chapter. Oddly tho, i felt like the girls i met this day were really fake. it was almost uncomfortable.

2. grapes- alot of nice girls. all really pretty. They seamed to be very involved. GPA seamed to be very important at this chapter and i didnt exactly have a stellar gpa in high school so...

3. rasberries- i loved this house. the girl i had was amazing. we had alot in common and it was one of the few houses that we didnt just "rush talk" but actually had a real conversation. oh and they were all drop dead gorgeous.

4. oranges- i liked this house alot. the girls i met were all so fun and sweet. The girls i met were kept me laughing. and also there was alot of just good old talking. i felt very comfortable.

5. apples- I liked these girls. but there was really nothing spectacular.

6. bananas-the rusher at this house was just so nervous. she was very sweet tho.

7. blueberry-i met a really nice girl here. but nothing out of the ordinary.

8. tangerines- sweet nice girls.

9. peaches-once again nice girls but nothing out of the ordinary.

10. plum- this was the toughest house to visit. the girl i had really couldnt hold a conversation and i ended up talking most of the time to the pnm that was also supposed to be rushed by this girl.

ok so thats the best that i can remember. lol. overall i enjoyed my first day. when i got home thou i was so extremmly tired. Me and the girls who were all going through rush just got pizza and then we all passed out. the first day is very tiring.

Oh and btw coffee filters are the best things ever invented!! they helped me ever so much during this day. they work far better than those oil sheets.

well that was my day 1. i wont be saying where i went until my last posting. all i can say is that i made the best decision of my life!

Yeah and I would also like to know. Its funny how different girls have entirely different perceptions of the same houses.

I think that discretion is the better part of valor. If she wanted to post the identities of the groups, she would have done so already.

True...for me it was I had nothing against ANY of the chapters on campus and thought all of them were wonderful. Some I just saw myself fitting in there better than others. And one chapter in particular definitely changed my mind...somewhere at the beginning of the week I didn't really want to go back to, but then I fell in love with them Better luck this semester or next time....
