it is not true in ANY way that it will be the largest pc in uw history- "back in the day" there were over a thousand women going through

sorry, perhaps there was some confusion.
My RCs said that pc '07 for each sorority will be upwards of 40 girls. And with freshman guarenteed to live in the houses, at least nowadays....I think that is what they meant...as far as women per chapter per hosue.

I could be mistaken, that's how it was explained to be...I hope that cleared things up...

On my way to house tours!!!

Oops! I really shouldn't post at 2 o'clock in the morning -- I would have understood what you meant otherwise.

Good luck with your invitations today! Have a great time on house tours, they are amazing!

Good luck on all your tours! Have a blast!

Many of the houses also have an annex - ie a house behind the main house or next door that some of the upperclassman live in. I am so happy to see our numbers up in the Northwest - it looks like quota went up a lot at Washington state this year, so I'm cautiously optimistic that when it is our turn for formal recruitment at UPS in January we'll be looking forward to bigger numbers too.
Can't wait to hear your update NWgirl! Hope you had a great time today!

Did you get your schedule back yet for house tours?

Today was such a hard day. I have met some of the most amazing women in the pnms this year at it was so hard to seem many of them so sad with getting one or two houses for house tours. We got our invitations first thing and as I was making my way to my first house I could see girls crying and calling family. It’s such a stressful and confusing time…I’m really glad that I have my family to lean on. Some of my friends are already considering dropping out. I’m glad today was scheduled to end earlier then before.

With all that said today was another really fun day for me! I was lucky enough to get 8 invitations back. Some of my other friends were thrilled to get their full 10, so it really ranged.

Today I visited four houses. Here’s what I thought:

Lucky: Again, a great day. I met three upperclassmen and we seemed to really hit it off. The house it self is beautiful, like all the houses here, but it was my first time seeing all of it. We talked a little bit about studying abroad and the conversation just really flowed. It was an easy, fun, relaxed time. I would love to come back again.

Seattle Sun: Okay, so I know that I didn’t really want to come back, but the girls here are really sweet, even if it comes off the wrong way to me sometimes. I met new women who were just so proud to be members of Seattle Sun and to show of their house, which, again, was really fun to see. I left feeling happy, but again, it just didn’t seem to click. Looking back, it was my least favorite of the day.

Banana Republic: I love the girls in this house, and I even got to chat with one girl that I had from yesterday, which just made the conversation that much easier. Not to be weird, but I was kind of shocked to hear that I got an invitation back to this house, after having a not so amazing time last round. It seemed to be a favorite among the girls in my group, and a lot of them didn’t get invited back to this round. I guess they saw something in me…which was a cool feeling. I kind of left this round like the last…sweet girls, just having a hard time seeing my self here. Beautiful house too.

Sephora: This time was sooo much better. The house that I remember from Greek Weekend was back and it was so great to meet the women. I talked to some women that were really involved here and it seemed like we had endless things to talk about. And the group of pnms and I really hit it off as we were standing in front of the house waiting. A new favorite. I was really grateful that I got a second chance with house. Being that it was my next to last on last night's preference, I guess it is true that everything happens for a reason.

Tomorrow I visit my next four:

Northface (which I’m very excited for!)
Abercrombie and Fitch
Coach
Gap

I’m kind of shocked that I got dropped from some of my top choices, just because I felt so natural there. But, I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes and have continued faith that I’ll end up where I belong.

Thank you all for your support…I’m excited for tomorrow!

You have such a great, positive attitude! I'm really enjoying reading your thread and hearing about your experience! Good luck!

btw - I know you didn't go back to Fireworks or anything, but when I saw your reference to that store, I got all excited - I went there for the first time last month on my first trip to WA and LOVED that store!!!!

How did house tours go?!

UWcutie · #12 09-13-2007, 01:22 AM

I'm currently rushing at UW, too! It is crazy reading these, because I can totally tell what some of your code names are due to similar experiences the first two days. I didn't get invited back to all of the houses I felt I had really connected in... but my main top choices are on my list for tomorrow.

One of the houses I visited today was AMAZING! ...I'm scared I won't get invited back there later, since i ABSOLUTELY loved the atomosphere and the conversations I had with the girls there.
Well yea, it's been so nice reading your thread, and knowing I'm not the only one going through all these mixed emotions.
I'm so excited for the outcome.

Best of luck to you, whoever you are

AOII Angel · #13 09-13-2007, 06:19 AM

Good luck to you both...I can't imagine having to narrow my choices when they are sooo numerous! I'm sure you both will find your rightful homes!

33girl · #14 09-13-2007, 10:58 AM

I just want to say I'm really enjoying this rush thread....you're being honest about your impressions, yet polite and discreet. Not to mention, any thread that introduces new places to shop is cool by me.

Benzgirl · #15 09-13-2007, 11:54 AM

I love reading the two UW recruitment threads. Even though I have no idea what houses you are talking about, I look forward to each update.

One question....do you really have a round on Saturday with the big football game going on?
