So, as most of you know....today was the first day of recruitment. Let me start by saying, I had a BLAST!!! I really didn't know what to expect coming into this. When I was younger I was sort of "anti-greek" due to all the rumors you hear when you are younger. I think now that I am older and wiser, I am able to let myself just be myself and enjoy the recruitment. So far, I totally do not regret any decisions I have made.

We started with an orientation meeting where I learned a lot about the recruitment process, what to wear, what to expect, etc. Then we met with our Rho Sigma to go over some more information.

Later, we met up and went to Greekfest which was a huge "free food" festival with all the greeks. We are able to mingle and meet people. This was the best time for me. I met a lot of girls from different sororities which was great. I got a small insight to which sorority sisters I felt comfortable talking to...and which sisters were there because they had to be. Don't worry. I am not basing my decision on just this day, but it did help a lot.

Then we met up with our groups again and watched a movie in the knoll. Most of our group left and the rest of us decided to head out half way through the movie since we had a) seen it already b) had a long day tomorrow.

So that's about it. I don't think I will be posting names of sororities until after only because I don't want to jinx it and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings either. I think it's just better that way. But I will say that I had a great time tonight and I looking forward to tomorrow, as well as the days after that! Wish me luck....and good luck again to those of you going through recruitment as well!

Love, V.

So, today was the first official day of recruitment. It was a lot of fun....and a little not fun...but overall it was a good day. I am pretty much pooped. I could sleep last night because I was so nervous and I woke up really early and couldn't fall back asleep either. So about mid way through, I was exhausted and STARVING! It wasn't too bad though. I knew everyone felt the same so it eased me a bit.

I guess to start, we all went to the parties in alphabetical order. I visited: AXO, ADPi, AOPi, XO, KD, DZ, ZTA.

There are 3 that I LOVED, 2 I'm still border line, and 2 just didn't appeal to me. That ones I loved, the conversation flowed well and I my questions were answered and they really stuck out to me and made me feel comfortable. The 2 I'm border line on were a little harder. The conversation hit dead ends but luckily I was able to change girls and keep it going a bit. I really like what they are about, but we'll see. The 2 that didn't appeal to me were the longest 20 min of my life. It just didn't seem like they were interested in me and within 2 min the girls were asking if I had any questions, which I would ask 1 or 2 but they after that we kinda stood there. I had about 10 questions I had prepared for, but they just were not interested in me so I had to fend for my questions. These two were just really hard for me.

Anyway, I find out which sororities I get invited back to at 12:20am. FUN!! I am pretty nervous, but more excited than anything. For those who are curious, I will be posting where I will be going, but (as you see above) I just won't be stating my opinions of each particular sorority. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, it was a really progressive day and I am super excited about tomorrow too. I will post my invites later tonight!

Crystal--I looked for you too but there are SOOO many girls!!! Maybe I'll see ya at the picnic tomorrow!

Good luck and I'm glad you had a great time today!!!

Love, V

Vanessa, sounds like you had a good time! Sorry to hear that you had a rough time with a couple of the sororities, but that just means that's not where you belong! Can't wait to see where you're going!!

Good luck on rushing. I am a non traditional student as well. Never been to college until I was 23. And that was after I had a baby and married (in that order). But thats great for you!

Check out the sororities websites. That's a start, but the only way you will know if you fit in is by hanging out with some of the ladies. So really take part in rush events. I read sorority websites inside and out as if I was going to be quizzed, but what it came down to was the chemistry between me and my now sisters. Plus I feel strongly about the community service projects. But it's whatever is important to you.
