UF56, run don't walk to the Greek Advisor's office first thing tomorrow morning and get this straightened out. I have no idea what the sororities at UF get, but better to be safe. You will have a much better rush and probably more choices if they know the CORRECT information.

The Greek Affairs office should be open earlier b/c the chpaters usually have to check in or pick up lists and stuff. You could maybe call tonight and leave a voicemail so they can call you back or just try to get out of your place early in the morning and swing by before you meet in the morning (I'd say both). I know it's ealry, but it could make all the difference.

I just called the Membership Vice President of Panhellenic and she said the only way for them to change it is to have a letter from my advisor or from the University. The only thing is that my grade changes aren't in the computer and school is closed right now.....I am so freaking out it's not funny. She said if my advisor could fax them a letter then that would work but all my advisors are on vacation.

That doesn't seem right that your Pi Chi ( I think that is what they call it) didn't help you out. I know at my school, (we call them Rho Chi's) would have definately taken some action to see that it is corrected. I would definately take AOpiBrandi's advice and get up extra early and run to the greek life office. Since rush is going on they should be there.
Maybe you should tell your situation to whoever you talk to in the sorority during the parties. I am not sure what any one else thinks about that, but last year a girl came through and she had the wrong gpa and had gotten dropped from all but a couple and she was heartbroken. She told us about it and our president talked to the rho chi's and tried to resolve the situation. I am not sure what happened, but I don't think it would hurt to let them know. However, when you go to your parties, don't be all upset because of this, make sure you can still act like yourself so that everyone can find out what a wonderful person you are, and maybe you will find a home where none of that matters! Good luck

Okay things are better now. I am going to my advisor during the break today and he is going to write a letter to fix everything and then Panhellenic is going to fix it. So I am getting ready to go to Round 1 this morning. Good Luck to all my fellow GATORS!!!!

Thank God ! I was worried about you, I am glad it worked out and you are feeling much better about things now. Let us know how today goes

As curlygirly already mentioned we had Round 1 today. But get this we are in the same group. HOW STRANGE IS THAT!! 1200 girls rushing and of the 5 UF PNM's we are in the same group. But back to rush. First party was in the lounge, second was at DZ which did a wonderful presentation and we got to meet the girls who would be the advisors. If I do not feel comfortable where I am going in the end I am definitely going to try for DZ because they seem wonderful. We then went to Pi Phi where I saw ROWDYSISTER's tack board unless there are two Dyans in Pi Phi. Well the girl I talked to was very quiet and it was almost like I was rushing her instead of her rushing me, which made me feel uncomfortable. We then went back to lounge and then to KKG. I was really impressed to the girl I spoke with. She did not look like she belonged in KKG, but she made me really like them. I also liked them because they seemed to care more about you rather than how you look. But when we go back we will be going to the lounge again and then I believe to DG, Chi O, AXO, AOTT. I will update then.

Sounds great, and thanks for keeping us updated! I can't wait to hear the rest of your story!

Off topic for a second: your post reminded me of MollyUF's rush story from last year...I wonder how she's doing???
