WaterChild's Fall 2007 Recruitment

[FSUZeta]

agree with the other moms. i would have been in a panic if it had not heard from my child in a week and did not know that their phone had been confisctaed. i would think that taking the phones away might had increased the tent talk, since the pnms only had each other to share observations with.

My Rho Chi woke me up somewhere close to three am and handed me my schedule. I was excited to see that my schedule read:

Phish Food
Everything But The…

I hadn’t been cut! Finally, I had a full schedule.

Roommate and I woke up early to get extra pretty for the preference parties. I wore a white strapless dress covered with giant yellow polka dots, vintage from the 80s. It sounds terrible, but it’s actually an amazing dress. During breakfast, a girl in my recruitment group that I had become quite close with and I discovered that we had identical schedules for the day.

Phish Food- The girl from home met me at the door! We had a long chat about the principles of Phish Food. I told her that I was certain that I could live up to them. The ceremony was beautiful, and I was close to tears. After I left, I was pretty sure that Phish Food was the house for me, but I still had one party to go.

Everything But The…- Here, I was put with a girl who I had never met before. This disappointed me. We got along great, though. She reminded me a lot of Mandy Moore. I had a fantastic time at this preference party as well. I also found the ceremony here to be beautiful.

At the end of the day, everyone headed back to rank. I wasn’t sure what to do. There was just one member in particular at Phish Food that I loved, but I got along really well with a lot of the Everything But The…s. Both of the houses were homey to me. I actually liked the idea of the smaller numbers of the Everything But The…s because I felt that the sisterhood might be tighter. I thought about the national sorority and everything that the groups stand for. Eventually, I decided that the ideals of Phish Food were really the ideals that I wanted to live up to as a person. I also considered that I felt more strongly about the organizations that the Phish Foods support through philanthropy.

I told the Rho Chi at the computer:

1. Phish Food
2. Everything But The…

My Rho Chis told us that they would only wake us up in the middle of the night if we did NOT receive a bid.
