Annie's Rush (Finally!)

[tinkerbell]

Hey just so u know rush doesn't start until Oct. 11th . . . which is info night. . . . and just to explain the whole all of us wearing pink shirts its because we are all showing our greek unity and showing that we are all Panhellenic first!!! . . . So ur suite mates . . . u must live in pentland . . . . new or old??? . . . I really can't wait to meet you!!! . . . . just so you know I'm a sigma kappa . . . and really the best advice I can give you is to go through rush meet all of the chapters and figure out which one suites you best!!! . . . . we really do have great chapters here at Riverside . . . you really can't go wrong!!! . . . Also I was at block party . . . its kinda cool to think that I could have been standing right next to you!!! . . . . well take care . . . and I'll soon see you at rush!!!!

One Heart One Way - Sigma Kappa Forever!!!

Tinkerbell- I'm wondering who you are? Are you Diana, because I'm going to crack up laughing if that's you!

Annie, I'm glad you're having so much fun! Who would have known that Riverside could be a "fun" place?! (hey- i can talk because i've lived here my entire life!) I hope things are going well for you and talking to you has made me really excited about recruitment! Just spread the word- get girls to rush! I know there hasn't been all the publicity we (as Panhellenic) were promised, but if you and your friends/suitemates/etc could spread the word, all of us in Panhellenic would REALLY REALLY appreciate it!

I'm in new Pentland, but I WISH I was in Old!! We went without water for 24 hours! Yes, no water for the toilets to flush, no showering, nothing! It JUST came back on. lol But besides that, everything's great!

I can't wait to meet you either!!

XOXO,
Annie.

I had a friend from highschool who was an Alpha Chi there and she had a great experience...for some reason she deactivated early, drama or maybe personal reasons, I'm not positive. I have also heard that Gamma Phi has a superb chapter there, one of my old president's sister was a GPB there and was supposedly having a kick ass time. Good luck Annie, just wait until your pledge period that's when the fun really begins...

[GPhiBLtColonel]

GFB ROCKS at UC Riverside and all across this great land of ours!! But hey, I am just a teeny bit partial!!!!

[tinkerbell]

Annie . . . yeah Ive heard that pentland 2 has had a lot of problems thus far . . . . we all knew it would . . . . but just remember that its got to get better . . . . and seriously living in the res halls is an awesome experience!!! . . . .


Gphiangel . . . . I'm not Dianna . . . . but u do know me very well . . . since u were my Rho Chi last year . . . . so lets see if u can guess who I am but i promise to tell you if u don't know!!!

[gphiangel624]

So I'm going to have fun guessing who tinkerbell is... esp. because I remember pretty much everyone from my Rho Chi group last year...

Are you...

Amy de Quintal?
Crystal Smith?
Suzanne Thompson (this is who I'm thinking you are because you're a dancer... I guess that could fit in with the Tinkerbell thing?)

Ok, so tell me! I know you're the only three from my group last year that went Sig Kap!

Hey gphiangel . . . . you guessed it . . . its Crystal . . . I hope everything is going great for Gamma Phi's rush . . . . well see u around campus.

Crystal

[gphiangel624]

Crystal, you were my second guess. Diana said it was probably you on here!

Anyways, because the time is getting so close to recruitment, I'm going to refrain from posting very much, so as to allow any PNMs to keep an open mind. Once Friday comes along, I'm going to stop posting altogether until Tuesday the 15th (Bid Day), and not read Annie's rush thread until then, because I don't want to get too excited or disappointed. Either way, Annie, I wish you the best of luck- you're going to have a blast and I'm so excited for you. I only wish I could go through Recruitment again.

Crystal, good luck to Sigma Kappa during Recruitment- I'm sure I'll see you around this week, in and out of work. Tell your sisters good luck from Gamma Phi Beta!

Hey Hootie!! Rush starts Friday, so I'll definitely post after our info night!

In recent, semi-related news, my girlfriends and I went shopping for rush clothes in Palm Springs... for SEVEN STRAIGHT HOURS. It was crazy, but it was sooo much fun! I think I may actually have drooled on an ivory cashmere coat in Burberry (oopsy)... I didn't end up buying too much... not even sure if some of the stuff is dressy enough for rush, but I'll figure that all out later!

Also, my best friend who goes to San Diego State is now an ALPHA PHI! This is the sorority she's wanted to join since she met them at her summer orientation... so I'm really, really, really happy for her! I hope it all works out for me, too.

Thank you all so much for taking an interest in my little rush thread... I really, really appreciate all of the help I've gotten here!

[Shark In Skirt]

Info Night is tomorrow!! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find out exactly what time it is... I went to a fraternity party tonight and asked quite a few Greek girls and none of them seemed to know whether it was at 5 or 6...?! Hopefully I'll find out by tomorrow, though!!

Will keep you all updated.

XOXO,
Annie.

I just came back from Info Night about an hour ago... it was so great! I went with five other girls from my house (I live in house-suite type dorms) who are also rushing, including my roommate and a girl who's from my hometown.

The sorority girls were all wearing the same teal shirt that said: "No matter the letter, we're all Greek together." They ALL had sooo much spirit and so much love and respect for each other. I was really, really impressed. Seeing all of the sororities cheer for their own chapters and for other's chapters really made me want to be a part of something so unique and special!

Each sorority did a cute song and dance number... and the Rho Chis sang their own version of Grease's "Summer Lovin'"... It was really, really cute!

For Open House tomorrow I'm going to wear a long sleeve black shirt and a cordory skirt with a slight flare to it, and wedges... Does that sound too dull and conservative? I just thought I'd play it safe!

Okay, wish me luck!!!

XOXO,
Annie.
