philanthropy period... day one
 

Hey yall,
Well I just got back from my first day of philanthropy events...
I got invites from 6 houses total (not too bad considering i AM older)... i went to 4 today and visit the other 2 tomorrow...

Ranked in order:
1) Barbara Streisand- she REALLY stood out today... I LOVE the girls, and i feel VERY welcomed and comfortable there. PLUS- they have a VERY extensive philanthropy commitment. Once again they were very professional, mature, and prepared to show me what they had to offer. This house seemed like the perfect place for me!
2)Paula Abdul- so I orginally prefed Paula at like 12th or something and orignally I wasn't very excited about being invited back BUT i had an AWESOME experience there today! Their philanthropy was VERY touching. The girl I talked with was so amazing... we really clicked and I hope they invite me back for skit night!!! I am really looking forward to going back..."Straight Up!";)
3) Whitney Houston- this house really impressed me today as well. They all seemed very athletic, which i really like. And it was just nice that they wanted to see me again. I was very impressed to learn about their events with other non Greek frats as well. Overall, I am glad I went back.
4) Lisa Loeb- "You say, I only hear what I want to..." well now hear this: i really liked the girl I spoke with today, but I still feel that it might be a bit too small, and still cut off from the rest of the Greek community. I don't want to kid myself, or anyone else, into thinking that I am rushing for different reasons than I am. I still feel this house doesn't have the social involvement that i am looking for. I am looking for a certain balance between social interaction and commitment, work and play... and I don't feel they have the balance I am personally looking for.

I visit Sara Evans (YAY!!!) and Avril Lavigne tomorrow, then I pref tomorrow night... wish me luck!!!

Sending Good Luck to you.:)

well, sounds like 1 1/2 good rounds so far! it was great to hear that you saw something different in some of the houses today.

best of good luck to you...
sounds like your heart and head are good.
just hang in there and see what happens...
and hopefully you are major league happy.

Period One- Day 2 (philanthropy)
 

GOOD LORD IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!!
I went back to Sara Evans and Avril Lavigne today and was blown away. Here are my 5 pref choices that I will me submitting at 2pm...

1) SARA EVANS!!!- these girls are sooo amazing. Smart, funny, dedicated, and very excited to see me every day! I met like 6-8 girls today and loved them all. They were soooo sweet and I pray I get to go to skit night! I am really beginning to believe THIS is the house for me! :)
2) A TIE B/w Barbara Streisand & Avril- Avril REALLY impressed me today. It was my very last house on open house day... I guess I was just tired and hungry b/c these girls had so much to offer the second time around. I hope they invite me back for sure!
3) Paula Abdul- the girl I spoke with yesterday really gave me a good feeling about their house.
4)Whitney Houston- I am still on the fence about these girls, but they really made an impression on me in period 1... I hope they want to show me more for period 2!

the one house I won't be preffing (but could still end up with) was Lisa Loeb- and, to be honest, I wouldn't mind going back for skit night with these girls... they are honest, and very supportive of each other and rushees!

LOOKS LIKE I CAN'T LOSE!!! Can't wait for skit night tomrw night!!! For now I'm off to pref and then taking the night off!!! Dinner with a friend I haven't seen in FOREVER... and meeting with my Rho Chis for a little snack at Gattis!

-Love YALL... thanks for all yall's support! :D

It's great that you are so enthusiastic and open to the experience!

Good luck!

I am confused. All of the sororities do not have Prefs on the same night? Pref Night comes before Skit Night?:confused:

I think what is texasangel means is that she is off to rank the sororities in the order she likes them... not to attend preference ceremonies...

Sounds like you have a fantastic attitude about everything...I hope that things continue to go well for you.

Good Luck!!! Sounds like you've enjoyed it all! Go Sara Evans!!!! :D

may today be nothing but terrific...
good luck to you.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!! GOOD LUCK!!

a little hitch
 

Well.... SARA EVANS (my legacy house) cut me today. I am really upset about all of this because I really felt at home there. They had to call my mom and tell her they cut me. So that was upsetting for both of us. But oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
I find out my schedule for skit night at 3pm... and then go straight into parties... so I'll let yall know how it turns out. As for me- I'm gonna go in early and talk to my Rho Chis about what I should do. MUCH LOVE... and Sara(the real one)- you are still my favorite singer girl.
