LOL yeah that girl's name is kendal, she was my orientation team leader.. she seems so funny. all throughout orientation she was talking about greek life and stuff.. and someone would be like "so how do you schedule classes?" and her answer would be "oh, you do that online.. so, any more questions about sororities?" haha it was great!

oh the go greek song. so much fun. i didn't know any other schools used it!

is it the one that goes "go-oh-oh greek let me hear you say go-oh-oh greek let me hear you say alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa lambda mu nu xi omicron pi rho sigma tau upsilon phi chi psi omega"

every chapter but Alpha Xi sings that as the PNMs are walking through the door on Welcome day and if they do that for you i promise you will memorize the greek alphabet so easily it's not even funny. you'll also have that song inside your head for about your entire pledge period btw.

sounds like you had fun! i's so gald your bid day is before i leave for school permanently where i have yet to get a computer.

Ok. Last night was so much fun! We got there and everything started around 6 o'clock. My pi chi's name is Julie and she is really cute and nice. Our theme is sponge bob square pants. haha. she bought us folders and memo pads and stuff.

The first party we went to was blue, and we were standing outside in the humidity for like 15 minutes waiting for them to get ready and stuff. All the pi chi's and the other people were being all secretive about the rooms and it was really funny. When the doors opened up, you could see inside the room and it was sooo pretty. It was definitly the best looking room. There were flowers everywhere because their theme was "garden party". They walked us to white garden-y chairs and we sat while the sisters stood behind us and talked to us while they showed their video. It was cute. And they were all really cute in their matching outfits... The girl that I was paired with was really nice and easy to talk to.. just small talk basically, but it was easy to make conversation. I could fit in with this group.

The second room was red. The song they sang was really "sisterly" and cute. The theme they did was really original and well set up and the slide show they had was cool. The rooms were all really hot, but we all made the most of it. I think that I liked this group the least of the three, but not by much or anything. The main thing was that I didn't really click with the girl I was talking to, and they didn't have the rotation thing down at all, so I was just with her the whole time. She asked me like 19 times if I had any questions... and I ran out of things to say. Not much common ground. So i don't think I made too good of an impression. I have heard a lot of really good things about this chapter, so Im not ruling it out. I hope I get to go back there tonight and talk to someone else.

The last chapter we saw was purple and I loved this group. The first girl I got paired with grew up in Jax (like me) and her boyfriend and my ex-boyfriend used to play baseball at BK together, so we had something to start talking about.. and she was really easy to talk to. They had this rotating thing where they would switch who your main person was.. and the second and third girls I talked to were just as cool as the first. Very talkative and funny. A girl who I hadn't met came up to me and said she recognized me from philosophy class and just wanted to say hi.. which was nice. This group is really into intramural sports and stuff which I love. Also, they all seemed so friendly with each other. I felt really included and welcome.. this was the only room that I didnt feel nervous in, I just felt like I was talking to people I already knew. It was really nice. Before rush, this was the group that I was least interested in, for superficial reasons.. but now Im really excited about going back there!

Overall, the night was really fun, but exhausting. I was tired when I got home. I had a good time though, and I love my pi chi group. I really hope some of those girls end up as my sisters. This morning my pi chi called me and told me I had been invited back, but I dont know which groups I will be visiting. Its philanthropy night and I love my outfit. So im excited. I will write more when I get home.

I didn't know other chapters, let alone other *schools* did the "Go Greek" song! I don't even remember how many times we sang that song throughout all of our Day One events

Sounds like you learned the benefit of keeping an open mind! It's hard to not let what other people say influence you, but it's important in this situation! Glad you liked the 'purple' group, and I can't wait to hear how things went last night! This is so exciting!

I love your thread! I am a Jacksonville girl from waaaay back and I hope you are having a wonderful time.
P.S. I went to BK too - I think I have "my" group figured out, but no matter what happens, it sounds like you are well on your way to finding the best spot for YOU.

[RebelSong84]

Ok Last night was amazing! I got invited back to red and purple. It was kind of weird to see that I wasn't invited back to blue because there wasn't any problems in there. If anything, I really thought I wouldn't be going back to red. But oh well.

The first party I went to was purple and I LOVED it. I again felt really comfortable and they whole time I was in there i was meeting new people and making friends and everything. I know I fit in with this group. People I have talked to from other chapters have been saying that this group is too hyper and that's why they didn't choose it. But I love their energy. Their room was decorated so cute and they were dancing around and doing this musical chairs thing where they would turn on the music and rotate so that you could talk to more people. I walked out of there with the hugest smile on my face. I was so happy.

Red was the group that I didn't feel too comfortable about yesterday. But last night I atually had a great time there. The girl I paired with was awesome! We shared a mutual love for Harry Potter, Lord fo the Rings, and we are both scared of the dark. It was so cool that we had so much in common. We talked during our craft time. I enjoied my self alot. I dont know about this group as a whole, but at least I see that its easy to be friends with people in all chapters. At one point during this party I asked the girl across from me why she choose red over the other two.. and she is the one that told me that purple had too much energy and oddness about them. I felt myself getting a little protective of my favorite group, but I just nodded and smiled. I wouldn't be dissappointed if I didn't get to go back here tonight.

Oh by the way, I just talked to my pi chi, Julie, and she said I was invited back tonight. She "doesn't know" which ones we are going to.... but I will find out at 5 o'clock today. We are all meeting for lunch in about an hour, so I gotta go now. But keep your fingers crossed for purple!!

Good luck tonight!!
