I changed my mind about 37,000 times!! Keep your mind open to all the possibilities

You've been invited back to wonderful houses, and I'm sure you're having a blast!!

Hi Everyone, It's Me!

Today I went to 3 parties for round 1 (philanthropy) and tommorrow I go to 2 more for round 1 cont. The 3 I went to today were DZ, AZD, and ZTA. I had a wonderful time once again and was very excited to hear about all the wonderful community service each chapter was involved in. I think they are all wonderful causes. During the day today I felt like I had a connection with 2 of the 3 chapter a little more than the other one, but I am not ruling anyone out yet. I am of course very excited about my other 2 parties tommorrow and can't wait to get a second impression from Sig Kap and Pi Phi.

I want you all to know I am truly enjoying rush regardless of what happens in the end. I have had a wonderful time and met some really fun people. I am really glad I decided to participate and have really been myself in all of the parties, so no matter what happens I am already excited. But for now, I must enjoy myself and countdown the days till BID DAY!!!

Until next time,
JBrookie

jbrookie82,
I'm so impressed with how open you are to all the houses...that is really the best way to be! You're going to be an asset wherever you end up!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the philanthropy parties, they are such an important part of each chapter, I'm glad you were able to see that within the houses you visited.
good luck and let us in on all the details!!!

I can't wait until you return to Pi Phi!

I just got home from the second day of round 1. I had a wonderful time and visited Pi Phi and Sig Kap. I had a great time at both. I am not sure if I have a favorite between the 2 because they were both so great! So what this means is from Round 1 I visited 5 chapters and liked 4 of them a lot. Now we go back tommorrow to find out which ones invited us back. I am very excited, but nervous because I got cut pretty hard after open house.

We also had our Gamma Chi group pictures made today. That was fun. We had one serios pose and one crazy one with props like air guitars, glitter wigs, and crowns.

Recruitment is going very well for me and I really hope to get some invites back to round 2 becuase there are deinitely some groups I believe I could fit into and could be an awesome sister in.

Seriously wish me luck!!! I'll let you guys know tommorrow night.

Good luck, girl!!! You have an awesome attitude, and I am sure you will enjoy the rest of rush. I can't wait to hear more!

Jbrookie--
Good luck tomorrow, not that you really need it, you sound like any sorority would be lucky to have you! Do you go to 3 tomorrow? Let us know how it goes!
ps-- go sigma kappa!!!

Good Luck!

Keep in mind that if you keep getting invited back to one or two even after getting cut heavily that they see something in you that someone else didn't. As it gets into the later rounds be sure to tell your favorites how much you enjoy being there (without being pushy

), that way they will know that you would probably accept a bid. Remember it's as much about numbers to them as it is to you

Silverblue · #73 08-20-2002, 08:06 PM

I'm so glad to hear you had a great time at Pi Phi. Yay!

jbrookie82 · #74 08-20-2002, 08:09 PM

SigKapSun,
Tommorrow we don't have parties, they resume on Thursday, but we do pick up invites and classes begin.

Ah geez I'm sitting on the edge of my seat to see how each day goes for you! I'm really excited that you're enjoying Pi Phi, and I'm ever more excited that you're having fun! What time do you pick up your invites tomorrow? I'll have my fingers crossed for you! I hope you get to return to your favorites!
