Don't worry, I would never out you. I was only trying to point out if I could figure it out in about 2 seconds, you aren't being cryptic enough, and you could get hurt.

So I am very concerned with this whole annonymous thing. Clearly, I am not very good at it considering some of you figured me out within hours of my original post. (Thank you to all of your suggestions for helping me remain discreet). Finding the right house is super important to me, and I dont want to wind up shooting myself in the foot just because someone figures out where I go to school and which "absolutely gorgeous" places are which house. I am not sure exactly how many schools have the same number of houses and the same rush dates, so in the interest of being discreet, should I not keep this LIVE and wait a few days?

and i REALLY appreciate all of your support! i am actually moving into my new townhouse this weekend WITHOUT my roomie (shes on vacation), so its nice to read all of your kind words.

I would tell you not to worry and to post away, because, selfishly, I love hearing what's happening in "real time"; but, it might be in your best interest to give minimal info until after bid day just to be on the safe side.

That being said - GOOD LUCK!!!! We all wish you well!!!

I would delay your story until recruitment is over. Why take a chance?

Hold off on the LIVE story, take excellent, honest notes and continue the thread after Bid Day. It will be tough but we can wait a few extra days for the news. Good luck with recruitment!

As much as I'd like to hear your story live, it really might be best for you to wait. You seem like a very sweet girl who's unlikely to make negative comments but you never know. People can get miffed about the simplest thing.

2008 · #25 08-13-2008, 11:26 AM

I am really not one to do the whole negative comment thing, but I can be very opinionated when I feel strongly about something without even realizing it. I guess I will hold off on the details about my visits to each of the chapters, but I promise to let you know how it goes!

Then best of luck, and we'll all hope for the best for you! Hope to hear the story soon!

rush is so close and i am getting so anxious! i havent decided if i am exicted for rush or excited for it to be over with! (probably leaning more towards the over with part). I was bitten by the shopping bug this summer and have bought more clothes than anyone will ever need, so i have plenty of outfits to choose from for rush. if you can believe it, i am a girl who hates shoes! my feet are flat as pancakes and finding a shoe that looks decent on my foot and is comfortable is a toughy. for me, its usually flipflops, tennis shoes (i am much into athletics), or BCBG heels that fit my foot perfectly. that kinda leaves me in a tough spot the middle days since most girls will probably be in cute flats. oh well. if an organization judges me for my feet, then trust me i dont want to be a part of them anyways! i have taken the time to look up all of the chapters websites and know a little about them. i am very interested in some of their philanthropies, should i tell them? if so how do i without sounding stalkerish?

Chapters on may campuses have a "philanthropy day" during recruitment where they will spotlight their philanthropies for you so that you won't have to deal with any stalkerish tendencies.

If not begin by asking what their philanthropies are (as if you don't already know) and then have them explain in more detail.

So excited for you. Have a great time. Good luck!
