Round 2 starts at 6pm tonight (EST) - I hope I see you Pam! - I will be there at 5:30

how did tonight go?

Tonight was Kraemer's skit night and OMG I feel like I totally belong in that house!!! I told them that too. I felt so comfortable and their skit was hilarious and looked like so much fun!! Tomorrow is George and we'll see how that goes as well but I hope Kraemer Pref's me !!!!!!!:D

So glad to hear it! The nicknames you've given the houses certainly add to the delight I get in reading your thread. All the best to you!

Kraemer was always my fav character!

now enjoy george...
fingers and toes crossed for you.

Yay! I hope you have a great time at George, tonight, too. I'll be out of town for a couple of days and won't know what happening! Ack!!

George~
 

I went to George tonight and their skit was really cute and they were also really down to earth and sweet girls...however I definitely felt more comfortable in Kraemer...I hope I dont get a 6am call saying i fell through...I think Kraemer likes me though!! They told me they hope to see me back on Saturday! I know maybe they'll say that to everyone, but I definitely noticed a difference in vibes between the two sororities! We'll see what happens tomorrow if I don't fall through...my invites time is at 9:10am and Preference is tomorrow night!! ahhhhhhh :eek:

Sounds like a great time! I hope that you get carried through to pref as well! Pref is pretty magical so keep an open mind (still!!) and enjoy it. Let us know when you do!

:( Thought I should post the bad news...I got a call from my gamma chi...I didn't make it through pref night...got cut. I fell through recruitment and its hard for me to look in the mirror and tell myself that...I really thought I had a shot going through as a junior, but I guess i was wrong. There is COB...but I dont know how I feel about that. I already feel embarassed enough telling everyone and anyone about this whole thing and now its like...ooh I fell through. I just feel like COB now (not before for some reason) is pitying me. I may as well tell you who the sororities were...Jerry was DZ, Elaine was AZD, George was Pi Beta Phi and Kraemer was Alpha Chi Omega. I thought they liked me, I really did. I guess I was totally wrong and I'm trying to think things over about how others really view me. Anyway, thats the end of my rush thread, man I thought it was going to be positive for once. Oh well...kind of hard to be upbeat now. Thank you all so much for being there and trying your best to get me as far as I could go. You all have really been supportive and great and i'm sorry things didn't work out. I kind of feel like I let you all down by building up suspense and all that, but anyway. hope to talk to you all soon.

I am so very sorry to hear this. But hold your head high! You gave it a shot as a junior at a very competitive campus. We all admire you! You have nothing to feel embarassed about.

I know it is hard to imagine considering COB, but if it is an option, I urge you to check it out if you feel you still might enjoy Greek life. Many, many wonderful women join GLOs through COB.

COB is a great option for both sides -- it allows for a slower pace in a more relaxed setting. It's still a mutal selection process -- not pity in any way. Many times during formal recruitment, chapters simply don't have the time to get to know every woman and, alas, gems are sometimes lost!

COB gives both the chapter and the potential new member a second chance. :)

No matter what you decide, we all wish you the very best!

hon...no embarrasment, do not hold your head down and no more tears. we all know how hard it is rushing as a junior. but definitely consider cob. i agree with techaphi, sometimes in the heat of battle a gem is lost. you are such a gem.

As a fellow junior that didn't get invited back to pref let me say this:

We have NO REASON to be embarrassed. We tried something we wanted without fear of ridicule (which in my case came from some because of my age.) How many people can say that in every day lives without hundreds of people watching? We did it in a high profile setting WITH hundreds of people watching.

Keep your mind open to COB - You've waited this long, you''ve tried this hard - One more try may be all it takes.

BIG HUGS to you Pam!
