Yeah, I got an e-mail from one of our alum advisors - UCF pushed back the start of formal recruitment and will begin on Aug. 20.

Don't we just love florida and hurricanes? It was rough to have a first day of school for public schools and now having reteach the schedule and routines for all the students again.

And people complain there is too much snow in the North. Trust me, I will sit through a snowstorm over a hurricane any day.

Yeah, at least the snow is pretty to look at!!!

Recruitment was delayed by one day at UCF. The girls should be finishing with the first round of parties now. It poured at the end of the day. From what I understand, the girls going from the 8th , 9th, and 10th parties might have been soaked.

Philanthropy Day (Day 2) has been postponed until TBA due to the rain/Fay.

UCF Panhellenic is hosting an emergency meeting at 3 PM to determine the schedule for the rest of the week.

Speculations on possible solutions include

Holding Philanthropy Day and Video Day in the same day (tomorrow) with Prefs on Saturday, Bid Day on Sunday
Philanthropy Day tomorrow, Video Day and Pref Day on Saturday, Bid Day on Sunday
Philanthropy Day tomorrow, Video Day on Satuday, Pref Day early Sunday morning with Bid Day Sunday afternoon

Good luck to all active sisters and PNMs at UCF!

Wow, that's pretty tough. You have to allow the chapters time for membership selection and set up (how frilly is UCF?), and it would seem like they'd need the least time after pref, so option #3 would seem like the best. However, depending on what the chapters have planned for bid day (ie. if they booked a place to celebrate for a certain time), it might not be the best option.

Hi everyone. This is UCFgirl12. I forgot my password, I had just created a new email for this account, so I forgot that password too. You could say i'm a little unorganized!!! I ended up having to make a new one! So i'm back

We have only been through one day of recruitment. UCF day was supposed to be on Tuesday, but was moved to Wednesday. Philanthropy Day was supposed to be today, but now they have moved it tomorrow at 1:45 PM because of FAY!!!

UCF Day (yesterday) was windy and we had rain almost the entire day. For the last two hours, it was pouring! I was FREEZING!!! Regardless of the weather, I am really glad I decided to go through recruitment. A lot of the things I have read on Greek Chat helped me. One thing I have to say is that it was SOOO overwhelming! At Greek Forum, we were told that there were almost 1000 girls going through recruitment. That made me very nervous but I tried to not let it get to me while going to each house. I did my best!!

I am not going to write much about each house, but I will give you some details !

I decided to tell about the chapters after recruitment is done, thanks to some helpful advice

I will update tomorrow. We can go to up to 8 houses !!!!

Thank you for taking the time to remember us! The weather is just adding to the craziness.

Best of Luck!!!

Good luck! I love UCF recruitment stories! Can't wait to hear all about it when it's over (smart choice to wait).

Benzgirl · #10 08-21-2008, 08:02 PM

Good luck to you, UCF. Remain calm and be yourself.

So they put Philanthropy Knight and Video Knight together tomorrow. Pref Knight is Saturday and Bid Day is Sunday. We can now go to up to 7 houses instead of 8 tomorrow and stay at each for about an hour.. I am really nervous. I hope I am invited back to houses......UGHHHHHHHHH. I can hardly concentrate!!! Fay doesn't look like its going anywhere, so that's kind of annoying lol. I'll definitely update tomorrow!!

Thanks for all your support, I really appreciate it!
