umm Rush Week
if someone had told me that i would be rushing a Sorority in college i think i would have laughed at them in the face, but now that i am here i can't see myself not rushing. This whole week has been simply incredible. I have loved every second of the week and keep reliving the events over and over in my head. i will give you a little sum up to explain the weeks events.
Monday: info night with the 3 National Sororities on Campus...meet and greet kinda thing
Tuesday: Social night # 1... we met in this room and i kinda felt like i was getting ready to sign up for a beauty pageant(spelling ?) then we got seperated into groups cause there were so many of us and we got to meet our Ro Gam basically our tourguide or camp couselor leader person for this week so that if we have questions we can ask them. Then we go to our first room where we get to socialize with one sorority...and the first one i went to was cool very simplistic and relaxed but i kinda felt like i made no connection with anyone in there whatsoever...then i went to room #2 after a half hour with the first group. The second room was awsome...came walked in and they kinda paraphrased the outkast song Hey ya to incorperate their group and they also did this sex and the city skit to show all aspects of the sorority(their theme was sex and the city at least that night) and the i got to socialize with the second group for a half hour and that was cool i met some awsome girls and some from calabasas and southern california. Then after that i went to the 3rd room and met the final group where i was met with a rendition of ONE from a chorus line in a way to talk about their group.Then i got to meet their group and absolutely loved some of the girls in there...i met this one girl who i would die to have her as my like sister or mentor or whatever in the sorority...shes in charge of the community service for the group...then i went home
Wenesday: More socials with the same three groups: this time i started with the group that had done sex and the city and tonight the did an 80's themed dance party, i got to meet more girls and i kinda got to know more people, i am kinda uncomfortable with this group though cause like they are all drop dead gorgeous but whatever...then i went to the next room the one i had gone to first the night before...the one i didnt click with...their theme was chicago and theater tonight...even with all that i didnt click with anyone so i know that is not the group for me...then i went to the one where i met the amazing girl whose name is Nicole...their theme tonight was an Afternoon in Paris..it was so pretty...twinkle lights and madeline cookies and sparkling apple cider and lots of amazing girls...oh might i mention Nicole...she talkes to me like "Girl..." sound familar(lori and ali) anyway she saw me come in the room and came up to me and hugged me...no keep in mind not one girl in the room got hugged everyone else just shook hands...that made me feel so comfortable and at home...like i would feel being around the theater crew back at chs...but it was so much fun...then i had to fill out this preference card which is this paper that says for thurday night(which is invite only) which two groups do u want to spend time with...then after u turn in the paper the sorority Ro Gams(couselor types) match up my first and second choice with whether or not the sororites want to get to know me better...then
Thursday: Preference Night...i obviously havent gone yet...nor do i know which ones ill be attending i am just hoping that i will get to go to the ones i want and i have no obligation to go to all or any...but i am seriously so excited...i want to get to know these girls so much better...then at the end of tonight i have to fill out a Bid Card...which says which sorority i want to recieve a bid from...if u dont know what a bid is...is the paper that is an invite to start the pledge period with a sorority and you can only get one...and so tonights descion is very important that i hopefully choose one that chooses me...i would be so if i didnt get a bid...ehh...anyway then tomorrow
Friday: Bid Day..between 11-1 pm i will know if i have been offered a bid from a sorority and will know when i get to start working towards membership
Now i know what you are all thinking...Danielle...u are so not a sorority girl..yes i know i dont party but seriously that is not what all of this is about...i say dont put it down til u look into it....its amazing...i havent felt this good since i realized my girls back home and i were like this immense group that will always be ther for each other (yah for ali,lori,katie and i sitting on alis porch the night i left) and Hill and I on my driveway for hours...i feel like i could possilbly meet people that will impact my life like you have. Sasha was pokin fun at me for this whole thing but seriously i cant imagine not doing it...just the whole process has made me so happy and grow so much...ahh i am so excited...i love you all
