- - My live recruitment story :) !! (https://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=102421)

hi everyone,

a family crisis has come up and i am going home for a few weeks. i might not even come back for the rest of the semester. therefore, i spoke to my px and i have to drop out of rush:(. thank you for all your support thus far. maybe next year?

sorry to hear that. I just got my laptop back and was catching up on threads. I would've pulled for Dr. Pepper myself.

Good luck with your family situation.

ETA: shame on me for believing you pnm12345. I hope Karma bites you in the butt for your bogus thread.

You actually believed her? She went through and "deleted" threads that called girls ugly and all of a sudden she reveals that she's dropping out of recruitment?

I think it's bogus, and she's finally realizing that what she's said could potentially bite her in the ass here, since people know what school she's at. My money's on she's still going through rush and she got a clue and decided to lay low.

I agree.

Shenanigans!

Ugh!!! I reread her initial posts again--OTW, you're right.

I'm not usually that gullible :o

I jumped on the site this morning about 10 minutes too late, otherwise I would have loved to have done the QFP. I wanted to find out more about the "fat -n- uglies" - sooooo disappointed!

I just wanted to send a sincere shout out to ree-Xi for having the forethought to QFP the initial post.

Benzgirl QFP'ed the 2nd half of Open House. Either she or one of the mods must have deleted it.

The first girl at Pepsi (I believe it was Pepsi) was ugly. She had a few number ones and ranked the Jewish sorority #2.

Silly me, I forgot about subscribed threads!

Sorry guess I've fallen behind a little! I'll tell you about the second round of open houses.
Anyway, second night:

Mountain Dew--Had ok convos with all the girls but it was kind of boring--they were all about classes and stuff, and the girls were kind of more awkward than I expected. One of the girls I talked to was someone I knew from high school, which I thought was probably not a good thing because we never really got along. I did like how this sorority seemed more laid-back, but it was kind of boring and it doesn't really stick out in my mind.

Sprite: Had really nice conversations about a lot more than classes and the basics. I saw a girl I knew from my high school, though, and she was really judging me--looking me up and down. I tired not to pay attention. I loved the last girl I talked to--she was really cute and grew up near me so we had a lot to talk about.

Pepsi: The first girl I talked to was ugly and had bad breath but the other girls I talked to were really cute. They just seem like they all really like each other and they're into sisterhood.

Dr Pepper: They seem like the most fun. They were dancing when we came in and gave us hot chocolate--a much needed relief from the cold! I can't really tell, but it seemed like they were rushing me really hard. I think maybe they are worried because their popularity is declining, but what do I know really. I got to sit on a couch which was great! The first girl was so nice. I often had two girls with me at a time. Once, a senior girl I know came over and joined the convo for awhile and then left. I looked up at one point and saw a girl I was just talking to pointing at me and saying something to one of her sisters. Seemed like a good sing then but I realized later it could mean anything. They also told me about some great features of their house. The last girl I talked to, however, seemed really distracted and not very interested in our conversation which made me worry. These were definitely the prettiest but also the most obviously judgmental girls I had encountered at any of the houses.

This was the unofficial rank I had in my head:
1. Dr Pepper
2. Diet Coke
3. Mountain Dew
4. Pepsi
5. Sprite
6. Root Beer
7. 7 Up
8. Orange Soda

Although now I realize that ranking was probably based mostly off of the stereotypes I had in my head, although I was really trying not to do that! However, it's so hard to tell what you think after a few brief conversations.

Afterward, we had to go back and rank our top 6, rank one as number 2, and rank one as number three.

This is what I did:
1. Dr Pepper
1. Diet Coke
1. Mountain Dew
1. Pepsi
1. Root Beer
1. Sprite
2. 7 Up
3. Orange Soda

One of the reasons I ranked the Jewish sorority as number 2 was because I thought they would cut me anyway because I'm not Jewish. However, after reading what you all said I feel dumb. I definitely need to put the reputations I already know about behind me and just completely go on how I feel talking to the girls.

I will tell you about the schedule I got in a post later today. We could get invited back to a maximum of 6 houses for the next round.

So this is what I get for not paying attention to recruitment threads, I miss out on all the fun stuff. This sucks especially since I think I know what school she's at.

BWAHAHAHA!!! Brilliant.

Come back and tell us which house you ended up in when recruitment is over!
