college move-in vlog 2022! (moving into my sorority house @ the university of south florida)

[@AFloridaMan]

Claire, welcome back to USF. My wife and I graduated there in 2012. We still go to a church service at the MSC on Sundays (Cornerstone). Feel free to check it out. This Thursday the student group is having a free BBQ (Publix fried chicken) at the MSC atrium outside. The church really helped my wife and a ton when we were students (and we weren't even Christians at the time!). Anyways have a great semester and Go Bulls!

[@claireemercier]

I feel your pain in moving. Over the years the USMC moved us a bunch of times. Hauling stuff all over the place. Take care.

[@claireemercier]

it can definitely be tough. it’s so great to explore new places though! thank you for watching :) take care!!

I was watching a different video and recognized Greek Village. I clicked so fast. I'm a Chi Omega from USF. The women of DG are some of the nicest I've ever met (aside from literally every other Greek woman on that campus 😅😅)

[@claireemercier]

Awwww I love it!! Pan love 🤍🤍

[@Your._favoritegal]

Was it hard getting into a sorority? I’m thinking about joining one but I don’t know if I’d be accepted

[@claireemercier]

not at all!!! the recruitment process is really cool because it allows you to really find the chapter you connect with. there are 10 different sororities on USF's campus and they are all great. go for it!!!

[@Your._favoritegal]

[@Mary.O497]

No one is gonna talk about the fact that when she was even driving without her hands

[@claireemercier]

I grew up driving straight/flat roads so I learned pretty quickly how to drive with my knee so I could eat breakfast on my way to school...LOL!

[@scottyschemmel]

Great vid 🔥

[@claireemercier]

I appreciate u sm 😆😆😆😆

[@lumberjack5909]

I didn’t know there is KZbinrs on campus! I’m next to the Greek village but not cool enough to be in

[@claireemercier]

hahaha yes! 😆😆 I love our lil greek village! & pshhh. you should rush 😆

[@calebkrassner7750]

go bulls 🤘

[@claireemercier]

go bulls baby!!!

[@lauramcclain8651]

I know USF is known as a commuters’ college , But I think it’s ridiculous that you would have to spend additional money for sorority “ house “ that looks like nothing more than a dorm. Definitely not a true sorority experience.

[@claireemercier]

Actually, the cheapest place to live on campus is in Greek Village! I am saving a lot of money by living here :) plus I get the advantage of knowing everyone that I live with!!

[@alexise5376]

I think it is sad that we put so much emphasis on what the house looks like and what clothes the women are wearing during recruitment. None of that mattered when I was stuck without a place to stay for two days after moving from USF to LSU. The LSU Chi Omegas let me stay at their house while I waited to move in to my apartment and then even made sure I ate meals with them even though I wasn't on the meal plan. THAT is the true sorority experience.

[@ohkaylalala]

@@claireemercier Yah its who's in the house that makes it a home

[@dkoo232]

I’m so damn confused how this popped into my recommended, but I guess it’s cause I also moved 5 mins from USF when I use to live an hour away. Late Jr atm. Cool vlog tho

[@claireemercier]

Hahaha well I'm glad it was recommended to you!! Thanks for watching 😆

[@susanmelero-tripp4804]

where is South Florida located want is your best about colleges want is your challenges about colleges

[@claireemercier]

USF is located about 20 minutes north of downtown Tampa! I love college because it has allowed me to gain independence, step outside of my comfort zone, and meet the most amazing people. The main challenge I have faced in college is finding a place that I can truly call home (I have lived in 4 different states since beginning college). Thankfully, I was able to finally find a home here at USF :)

[@Lryr-ly7xk]

A NICE AND HAPPY VLOG CLAIRE!... BUT PLEASE also I Have a LITTLE ! "TINY"! comment about minute 01:43 TO 02:00 And "IF U PLEEEASE FORGIVE ME FOR REPEATINGS ”!!!

THANKS and Wish you a PLENTY GOOD Things ....

[@claireemercier]

Once again , Allow me to Thank your understanding the matter ! , and Of course , I Appreciate your Intelligence and Generosity ... ! Wishing you more GOOD and HAPPINESS ...

[@WinterWind]

This house looks like a dorm 🤔

[@claireemercier]

Yeah, Greek Life is a bit smaller here than at a lot of other schools so we definitely don't get the super fancy houses. I honestly love it here, though -- it doesn't really feel like a dorm because I’m living with a bunch of girls that I love and know well :) I'm just grateful that we have a house!!

[@menakazerounian5441]

I love you Claire

[@claireemercier]

I LOVE YOU MENA THANK U FOR EVERYTHING

[@zoeyanderson-wb1kc]

is nobody talking about how that girl looked like charli d

[@claireemercier]

haha! which one??

[@JaniaSanders]

To whoever is reading this : May God bless you ! You’re gunna do great in life ! Put God first and everything will fall into place ! John 3:16 says , “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life ! Believing in Christ isn’t only enough! Even the demons believe! However, Matthew 6:33 talks about us seeking Him and spending time with Him in the secret place ( where He lives- Matthew 6:6). If we seek Him, we will find Him! If we love Him, we will obey His commandments ! God’s grace is so sufficient! Wishing nothing but love , joy , peace, prosperity, faith, hope, etc. Have a blessed day ! God loves you so much :) ❤️

Greek life has a history of racism, sexism, and misogyny. Why on earth would you want to be a part of that? Bad choice of friends. My daughter calls sorority girls “basic girls” I agree

[@claireemercier]

I would love to debunk this stereotype for you, because I couldn't disagree more! Ever since I joined the USF Panhellenic community about a year ago, I have experienced nothing but endless love and support. Never have I ever met a sister or another Panhellenic woman who exhibits any sort of racism or sexism here. Truthfully, I was hesitant to go through recruitment last year because of the stereotypes associated with sororities, but quickly after joining I became SO thankful that I took the step outside of my comfort zone. I would absolutely encourage your daughter to go through sorority recruitment so she can experience first-hand how amazing the community is!

[@JazmiynAnija]

USF is in a gentrified area it’s not “sketch” do some research, it comes off ignorant lol
