You never know what those "popular" houses think! Pi Beta Phi is one of the most popular ones on campus, and i thought they would cut me after the first night. I ended up preffing and put them first, hoping for the best. and now im a new pledge for Pi Phi! SO YOU NEVER KNOW!

Good Luck and can't wait to hear which houses you are going back too!

Sounds like things are going well so far! How is your next round working...how many can you go back to and when do you find out?! Good luck!

aj

Good Luck!:)

And how did you rank, if you don't mind sharing.

If you don't want to, that's fine.

Good luck.

Oh good idea!!! Here it goes...

1.Taurus
2.Aries
3.Pisces
4.Aquarius
5.Leo
6.Virgo
7.Gemini
8.Sagittarius
9.Scorpio
10.Libra
11.Capricorn

Tomorrow night will probably be hardest for me cut
wise. I'm curious to see how it goes. I would probably be happy in any of the top 6. The others are really kinda if-y. We'll see how everything goes. Overall, I really had a great time during recruitment and don't regret going through the process at all. I know, in my heart, that I would love my sorority with all I have, but I'm a big believer in fate so if its not in the cards...Its whats ment to be. (YET I can't help but want it so badly!!!)

Sounds like you have a great attitude about recruitment! I'm hoping the best for you and good luck! Keep us informed!

Cool! Thanks!

I'm such a dork, I actually have a pen and paper list going to keep track of things on this rush story. It's probably because I'm from Madison and familiar with the campus, so I think I've figured out who about half the houses are. But don't worry, I'm not saying anything.

Good luck! When do you get your invites?

and taurus is first on the list lol j/k hehe! Anyways good luck I cant wait to see what happens next!

I am so nervous for tonight! Only a few more hours ! So I am wearing a black, ruffly jbelow-the-knee skirt and a dark pink tube tob. Its humid again today, but since it's going to drop I'm also bringing a jean jacket. Tomorrow I think I will wear one of those white linen skirts with some kind of polo or cute top. Not that anyone cares too much about what I'm wearing... :p

I think half the fun of going out sometimes is getting ready! I'm such a nerd!

Oooh that outfit sounds cute! I can't wait to hear how your parties went tonight! Would you mind letting us know either where you are or aren't returning to?

Awww.... poor Scorpios. It's alright, though, because they did get named after the best zodiac sign and you know it means they are the most passionate ;)

At any rate, I am glad to hear you are having fun with recruitment! Good luck and keep us updated!

Second Rounds...NIGHT 1 of 2 yeah!!
 

I WAS INVITED BACK TO ALL 7 PARTIES

I almost peeed my pants! I was expecting 5 at best. I called my roommate between parties to share the news. I'm so excited to see the house's tour and do philanthropy projects. So here are the remaining houses:

Alpha Phi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Sigma Delta Tau

And in no particular order-4-40 minute parties:

Gemini- Of course I was excited to be back where I started. I took a tour with a girl who had a really blah 'tude. She wasn't really excited or trying to talk the house up. Oh well. I talked to about 4 people here...however I had a great conversation with 2 and not with others. Its so hard to decide when you can click so well with some and not with others. Its really up in the air with this one. I like it, but not sure if its the place for me.

Aquarius- The enegery of this house is amazing! They cheer and talk at light speeds. I think I need a house that is matched with my enegery, like this one! I liked them alot. 3 girls and I had great conversations. One girl remembered my name from first rounds! The third was one of those "How are your classes" conversations. She seemed more mellow for the house though. Not bad, just mellow. Still one of my top house. Cute Studio 54/Disco theme. Still a top runner!

Pisces- I think this house will always stay with me because it has a real home feel to it. The girls are really comfortable with each other and seem to know every face in the house. Lots of good and honest convo, not too high strung or too mellow. But there is still something missing that keeps it out of my top three. We'll see how pref goes.

Ares- This house ruled the whole night. I was never really intrested in this house before rush and never though I could fit in/feel comfortable. But I LOVED it. All the girls were sweet and friendly and bubbly and real. I had 4 super 'connection' conversations. One of the girls had rushed as a junior last year! eeee! Their house was decorated so CLASSY too. I want to go back to this house for pref. For sure. I could gush all day about much this house has affected me in the whole hour I have spent with them!

You know whats really funny?? Even though we were supposed to do crafts this round...I barely touched any of the stuff because I was always wrapped up in the conversations. I'll take this as a good sign. ;)

Well all...have a good night and see you tomorrow with the updates!

It sounds like you are enjoying all the houses! And I looooove this thread with the Zodiac references!

I am excited because there are some groups represented that haven't been lucky enough to get a GC PNM this year!! Maybe we're on our way to all 23 NPCs!

Congratulations! That is a fabulous set of second night invites - I can't wait to hear about the rest of the parties tomorrow!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)
