Hahahahah omg the one with the Blue Man making the kite is my FAVORITE! I'm now determined to get someone famous to do the owl face with me and my sisters. Actually, it'd be rad if the national pres of Kappa did it with us.

Ok I'm back! I'm so sorry I took so long to reply! I have been so busy with classes and sorority events :-) Here is the rest of my story:

Philanthropy day was cancelled, and the next day they combined both Philanthropy day and Video day into one. I was anxiously awaiting getting my schedule as I had an EXTRA day of nervousness and waiting!!

I got my schedule and I was invited back to the max (7) I was so happy!!!

My Schedule was
Prada
Chanel
Fendi
Gucci
Jimmy Choos
Versace
Betsey Johnson


Prada: I was so excited to go back to this house. Their video was amazing and showed how close the girls in Prada were. Their theme was also very cute!! I loved the girl I had today, we really clicked. This was definitely going to be one of my top 3.


Chanel: This was my number one and I was so excited to be back ! The girl I talked to was really nice and she gave me a house tour. I LOVED this house!! Every girl I was introduced to was soooo nice. I could see myself here.

Fendi: I was excited to be back at this house as well. I liked these girls and their video was the best by far. I also enjoyed their philanthropy as it really hit home. Everyone here seemed perfect. I dont know if I could live up to these expectations every day. They also seemed to go out a lot, and party, and I really do not like going out to bars every night...

Jimmy Choo- I liked this chapter today. Their video was cute and all the girls were very enthusiastic. Very nice, down to earth girls. I dont know how much we all have in common though!


Versace- Again I loved this chapter, although it was not one of the "top." We had a house tour and this was by far the nicest house. They had the cutest rooms!!

Betsey Johnson-These girls were very funny again today. Their video was pretty good. I dont remember much from this house. I was kind of bored and tired by then

Gucci-I really liked girls I talked to here. They were very nice but I felt a little fake-ness. One of the girls I talked to was saying how they always went out and how the Guccis got in to bars free and always got free drinks. That kind of turned me off from Gucci, that is definitely not what I am looking for. I know I wouldnt fit in here.


I ranked my top three chapters
1. Chanel
2. Prada
3. Fendi

I felt bad dropping Gucci, but there were three other chapters that I absolutely loved and I knew I would be happy being in any of them.


I got my schedule for the next day, and was invited back to all three. I was so happy and today was the least stressful for me. First was Fendi, then Prada, then Chanel.

Fendi: Pref night in Fendi ruined it for me. The girl I got was super nice, but said things like "We all really want you here" , "Run home to me on Bid Day" , "I'll cry if you dont join Fendi" The ceremony was nice but I felt (and a lot of the other girls did too) that it was fake and a little over done. I did not like being pressured and having guilt thrown on me if I chose not to do Fendi. (After this house, I found out I was not the only one who was being "dirty rushed"...needless to say..I Was glad to get out of there)

Prada: I LOVED the girl who prefd me. She was so nice and did not "dirty rush" like Fendi did. I felt really comfortable here and I liked how I felt I didnt need to impress these girls to make them like me. These girls were great, and I was sure that I would put them first on my ranking card.


Chanel: I went into my last house hoping I would HATE their pref night, so my decision would be easy. But this didnt happen. I loved the girl who prefd me here as well. She was awesome and she did not "dirty rush" at all either. I liked not being pressured into my decisions by this Chanel. She explained all of the events we would be doing, and about her own experience. Even though I LOVED Prada, I fell in love with Chanel all over again tonight!!

I ranked the houses in this order:
1. Chanel
2. Prada
3. Fendi

I was really nervous that night, but If i didnt get Chanel, Prada would be fine with me

So the next morning, after sooooooo much waiting and anticipation...I opened my bid card........and it read .......






















CHANEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!








AKA Kappa Delta!

I was so excited We ran home to all the sisters and had a wonderful day at the house. Even though at times recruitment was very stressful, it was all worth it at this moment!!

Seriously?

Congrats to you, and note to sororities, the fact that you get into bars free and get free drinks everywhere is not impressive to everyone. LOL.

When one of my daughters rushed as a sophomore, someone in a house said to her, "Oh, good! You're almost 19, so we won't have to get a fake ID made for you!" (At her school you can be admitted into bars at 19, but supposedly not served.)

Please PM me your code, as well, if you don't mind!

Congrats on Kappa Delta!!!
I'm glad Fay is over and now everyone can get back with enjoying UCF (Kick Off Game this saturday!!) and Greek Life!!

[ShabbyChic]

Congrats!!! As a UCF Alum I could guess pretty well by your descriptions who was who, and I just knew Chanel=Kappa Delta! Would you mind posting who Prada & Fendi were? I think I can guess but I don't want to give it away if you don't want people to know ) Thanks for finally finishing your story and congratulations you Kay Dee Lady!!!
