GreekChat.com Forums - My Competitive Recruitment

Hi Hi! I'm SO sorry for this obnoxiously long break. So much to do...so little time...I'm raising a puppy for a seeing eye dog organization and she ate my favorite pair of black stilettos. Let's just say I was quite unhappy. Anyway, I'm SO excited to update you guys! Hooray!

We left off where I was internally freaking out about Marie's comments that I had monopolized the actives and came off as rude and snotty.

Anyway, I got my list back and I was thrilled to see that I had a full schedule for Philantrhopy Day! Hooray!

First up....

Cherry: I was really excited to go back here today! Both Jena and I had gotten really good vibes from these girls. A different girl picked me up today than before, and I didn't have as great a connection as before, but it was still a pleasant conversation. I think I wasn't as impressed by the conversation because I was concentrating on their philanthropy craft so much. I really wanted to do a good job because I really wanted to impress these girls. When I finished the craft it was almost time to go. But then the girl hugged me and thanked me for coming! I was so taken aback by her hugging me that I think I left without saying anything...Shoot! Lol.

Honeydew:Boy do I remember this house today! I was so impressed by their philantropy. The girls seemed so legitimately into it. Their philanthropy video was really moving, and the girls seemed so invested in the cause. And their craft was so cute. I could really see how it could benefit their philanthropy. The girl I talked to, Ryah, was so knowledgeable about the organization and spoke so eloquently about how she was affected by it, and how she had grown were truly astounding and inspirational. Where I didn't really have a strong impression from their open house, I left this house feeling really inspired. Very, very impressive.

Cantaloupe: Again, I don't really know how to explain this house. The only word I can think of is...lovely. They were nice, their philanthropy was sweet, the house was beautiful, but I kind of felt like I was in a museum. I felt like everything was untouchable because it looked so pristine. I left with a so-so impression of this house. I still had yet to have a comfortable conversation. The small talk was very small.

Plum: The girl who I talked to while doing my craft was just...odd. She kept going on and on about monkeys, of all things. I had told her that I was going to be a puppy raiser for a seeing eye dog organization, and she was telling me about this organization that raised monkeys to assist the differently-abled. Interesting topic for a few minutes, but literally, that's all she would talk about. I tried to steer it away from guide monkeys but she WOULD NOT relent. I thought their craft was kind of silly, and I left this house not sure if I wanted to return.

Pineapple: Horrendous. Absolutely horrendous. The girl who picked me up was STUNNING, but would barely look at me, let alone talk to me. She was much taller than me and I literally had to lift my chin to talk to her. Everytime I would ask her something about their philanthropy, she would give me a really short, snippy answer. For example, I asked her if their philanthropy project today was for the national philanthropy, and she said, "Of course. Did you think it was just going to some random organization?" We had several more interactions like this, and by the end, I could not WAIT to leave.

Mango: I stayed on the look out for chubbie girls. Lol. Saw not one by my standards. I had an OK conversation, and the philanthropy didn't stand out too much in my mind. These girls were probab;y ranked in the middle of my list because they were so friendly, despite the lack of impression they left on me.

To be continued...
