Orlins is currently a senior at Syracuse University, where she's a member of Alpha Phi Sorority and was the vice president of New Member Recruitment, for which they won the award for best overall recruitment at their national convention. The ability to 1. Get into APhi at Syracuse 2. Rise to a vice president position in a chapter like the Alpha Phi chapter at Syracuse and 3. recruit well enough to win the recruitment award at convention (though I am by far the least sure about #3. I honestly don't think it is hard to recruit for that chapter) indicates to me that Eliza is pretty (duh) and your typical sorority type (take that as you will), but also able to read and manipulate people well, and to make everyone like her while sticking a knife in their back. My first impression would be Jenna M. with a lot more manipulative ability and people skills. I was a VP member recruitment of my Alpha Phi chapter and am still in the general Alpha Phi recruitment loop. Will ask around and see what I can find out about her.

Will also look into Julie Barry as I wouldn't be surprised if she was also APhi.

She is an intelligent, good looking, well traveled woman. She might do quite well in the game. ŠSlice & Dice Chop Shop 2004

LAST EDITED ON 08-18-04 AT 08:33 AM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 08-17-04 AT 08:51 PM (EST) LAST EDITED ON 08-17-04 AT 08:50 PM (EST) Heh, alright, so I have 2 (!!!) connections to Eliza Orlins. She's a friend of a friend, as well as another friend's sister's friend's sister. It may sound a little stretched, but I've been receiving a couple of tidbits about her. Word on the street, she's a b*tch. A spoiled sorority girl. She has a strong personality, very political. I've heard a couple of stories about her that maybe I'll pull out later for basher material, but really are just slander at this point... Let's just say that she is pretty 'experienced' in the ways of the world. Personally I don't know the girl... So I feel a little guilty posting this negative review and I kinda hope she doesnt see this, but as a member of this board I can't keep it to myself... Also, I'm not that impressed with her sorority credentials. Rush/Recruitment is hard, I know, but being 'vice president' of the effort one semester means that she just helped out, put up posters and bought soda. I don't think she's Jenna M. and I think she's dead in the water. MM ETA: Of course I'll put up any info I get as it comes in. I don't know if any weight loss spoilers are gonna be any good for this twig ;) ETA2: I used 'Personally..." twice. upon review hurt my eyes.

Well, having attended Syracuse in my younger years, I have known quite a few Alpha Phi's in my day, and imo they have a very strong and popular chapter at SU. Yes, one could say that they were aggressive and worldly women, and yes, some may even refer to some of them as bit*hes, but I for one, don't think that having a strong personality and going after something one wants in an aggressive manner is necessarily a bad thing. Of course a few of the alpha male types could be threatened by a woman with this personality. Sounds like the girl has some savvy to me, and if she really has been a fan of reality TV, then she must have learned something by watching the shortcomings of others on the show. I think if she's a smart girl and watches her mouth, than she could go far!

That is exactly my impression of that chapter from being at their house and recruitment meetings/convention. Would I be surprised if she was a b!tch? No. But I also wouldn't be surprised if she was had a lot of social saavy. As far as I know, there has been one other sorority vice president of recruitment on Survivor--Kelly Goldsmith. The Kappa chapter at Duke is quite similar to the APhi chapter at Syracuse. I'll keep looking for info on the APhi front and see how she might compare to the impressions of Kelly that I got during the years recruiting against her. Slice and Dice Chop Shop 2004

Hmm... Flower, you're comments made me want to temper my own. Let me ellucidate on what exactly I heard. I mean, compared to what's been said about Lisa, this girl doesn't seem that bad. From the friend of her sister, I heard that She was a very strong personality, very political, and the comment that 'she will be either first or last.' From the other ear, a survivor fan who knows her directly, I hear that she is a "Jewish American Princess", as well as a couple of dirty stories, but also that she has a good chance of doing well. I don't know what he bases this speculation on, however. Also she is very proud of her Chinese connections, and will probably tout her Chinese skills 'in the first episode'. So I got some mixed messages. Once I get back to the states (this weekend) I'll be able to get some more info. I hope she's a Kelly G. character. That girl worked HARD in Africa, and I really respected her. But It also seems like she could rub some people the wrong way. At least we know she probably won't have any problems with social manipulation or talking behind people's backs. MM

I hear that she is a "Jewish American Princess"Well, if that's true, and she's like one of the thousands that I met in my Syracuse days, then I could'nt see her lasting one night....let alone 39 days! We'll have to see. The princesses I knew certainly were not into "roughing" it. As for being a bi*ch, well, we all know that you certainly don't have to be a princess to be a bi*ch! But, on the other hand, if she is a princess, rubbing people the wrong way would be a serious understatement regarding her! If she exploits her Chinese skills to the benefit of her tribe, a la Sandra, I could see her earning early points and perhaps making it farther. At any rate, she should be one to watch, sounds like she could be quite entertaining for us all!

Was there a chance that she attended Sidwell Friends at the same time as Chelsea Clinton? Just curious. DRONES

Sidwell has three different schools: Lower (K-4) Middle (5-8) and upper (9-12). Chelsea was class of '97, and since Eliza is a senior at SU that would make her class of '01. That would put her in 8th grade when Chelsea was a senior. So, unless Eliza took some time off between high school and college, the answer is no.
