First day at school and Day 1 Preperations
Like some schools, formal recruitment started the week before classes. I moved into my room, and it turns out my roommate Jena was going through recruitment, too! Basically our entire floor was going to go through recruitment. That first night we all ate dinner together and stressed about what to wear the next day to Day 1. Two girls in my hall, Marie and Rachel, were best friends all through high school and they were convinced they both belonged in Starfruit, one of the top houses at UCF. This made me really nervous because I had no idea which house I belonged in, despite all the research I did in the summer.
Day 1
Jena and I woke up at 6AM to get ready for our first day of recruitment. I was so nervous that I wouldn't be well received at any of the houses. At that point in time, I was a natural light blonde, very short and the tiniest bit chubby. I never considered myself to be the "stereotype" sorority girl, but I never considered myself fat or ugly either. Since I didn't really know much about Greek life, I assumed that all sororities were full of tall, blonde, slender, beautiful people.
I spent 45 minutes planning my outfit. In the end, I decided to wear a blue and green sundress with blue Eitienne Aigner slingbacks. I also chose a subtle Kate Spade clutch. I blew my hair out so it made a casual little flip at the ends. I must admit I looked very chic and cute. Jena also looked beautiful. She was the tall and slender type, and she pulled off ehr outfit well. She wore a pair of khaki cuffed shorts, a pink oxford and a pair of ballet flats. Very classic. To quote Elle from Legally Blonde, we "totally looked the part."
When we got to the auditorium at 8AM where we were meeting our Rho Chis, I was overwhelmed by a sea of women, perfume and blowdried hair. It was the most exciting and intimidaing sight I've ever seen.
Anyway, I met up with my Rho Chi, and Marie, the girl from my hall was in my group! I was a little disappointed that Jena wasn't with me, but I soon realized it was for the better so we wouldn't influence eachother's parties.
I received my schedule, and it looked like this:
9AM to Noon
Plum
Mango
Peach
Honeydew
Kiwi
Banana
Break from Noon to 1 for lunch
1-5
Strawberry
Cherry
Grape
Pineapple
Blueberry
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Starfruit
Stay tuned for my next post! It will be up sometime before the end of the day!
