An Indiana University Rush Story 2008-09

[tangelo212]

I'll go for Apple Jacks (b/c they are sOOOO good and so underrated, as a cereal that is) and also, Golden Grahams, because I like the name

Keep us updated on what happens at the "shindig at Smacks!!"

Slight hijack... speaking of Fruit Loops, I am in a foreign country and their Fruit Loops are weird colors. Like not bright and fun colors at all... More like washed out/ugly pastel/mix all the paint colors together drab and faded. Like grayish purple, faded pea soup green, an ugly harvest gold yellow--they all look kinda grey?? Oh, and they also don't taste like Fruit Loops. They are like Corn Pops, as in "Gotta have my Pops..."

Anyway, sorry for the tangent, I am excited for you and I can't wait for the "official" story to start in December!

Good luck! IU's recruitment is REALLY competitive, but also really fun! Just be yourself and try not to listen to everyone else's notions of the different chapters. One thing I learned is that no matter where you get a bid you are VERY lucky because 2000 girls go through and maybe 800 get placed.

to answer the hijack- I think the difference is color is because some of the artificial colors that are allowed in food here in the US are banned in some European countries. So they have to use other food coloring- hence the washed out colors. I have not idea why they would taste different though!

Back on track- GOOD LUCK!
