GreekChat.com Forums - Rollwave2008's Spring Recruitment at Tulane

Hey Everyone!!

Hooray!!! The school week is over and recruitment has picked up again!! Tonight was skit night and it was so much fun. I wore a black top and peach skirt (which I absolutely adore and got a lot of compliments for!) and went to:

Slater
Jessie
Lisa

Slater was ok. I think I am running very hot and cold on this group. It is hard, because I love so many of my friends that are in this group, but it seems to me that I already know all of the awesome girls in the group. Their skit was a "Wizard and Oz"-esque thing all about "there's no place like home" and whatnot. It was, admitedly, a little bit cheesy, but I guess you can't really expect a whole lot out of 10 minute skits. The girls that I talked to (except for one, who is one of my best friends here) were all really difficult to talk to, and I felt that I really didnt connect with any of them. I am having such a hard time with this group, because I know that I fit in with a lot of the girls and that I will already have a niche (which may be a bad thing? I don't know) but I am really not connecting to the house on a whole. Even my best friend, who is not rushing, but extremely attached to the Slaters (like myself) told me that she doesnt really see it as a fit. Though I know I should think for myself, it was interesting to hear someone else say it. Hopefully I will be able to go through their pref tomorrow night and make a better decision then.

Jessie... oh Jessie. I am still in love with this group. Their theme was "Jessie and the City" and their skit was soooo good. They are such a talented group of girls and really made me (and perhaps everyone there) feel so at home. The first girl I talked to is a member of an organization that I am really active in, so I was already accquainted with her (though I didnt recognize her and made a fool of myself... but it helped break the ice better than "So, where are you from?") Then, I was "passed off" to the girl with the Travel Bug that I talked to last week, and it was soo great because she remembered me, and told me that she thought of something over the week that she wanted to tell me (it was a travel experience in my favorite country) and I had talked to a girl in Slater that traveled abroad with her and I thought of her... I definitely feel like this girl could be my sister. It was so nice to know that people were thinking about me and everything. Then, the skit was about to start and we ran into the girl that rushed me the first day, and TravelGirl wanted to introduce me to her because she thought that I would "really click with her"(which was funny because I already had) and so we sort of all shared a giggle over the coincidence and how similar we were. Today I also met the president who I absolutely adore. After the skit I ran into so many people that I knew and they were all so welcoming and hugging me and giving me kisses on the cheek. Ahhhh, Jessie. I definitely love it here.

Lisa really let me down this evening. Their skit was a "Real World" theme and it was all about how they love to party and how the Frat Guys all love them because they are the hottest, most fun girls, which really isnt what I am looking for in a sorority. Then, coincidentally enough, I discover that my rusher is the Social Chair, so we continue to discuss all of the "cool mixers" that they have planned for this semester. I ran into the president (who I spent both days talking with last week) again, and she clearly didnt remember me, which is understandable but still awkward. I don't know, I just wasn't impressed. Oh well.

I really don't know what is going to happen tomorrow morning, I just really hope that I get an invite back to Jessie! Wish me luck, and I will let you know in the morning. Goodnight!
