going through rush! my story!
 
I started rush yesterday, and I remembered that someone had asked that I Return and tell my recruitment story :)

I'll tell it as I go.
I'm just going to give the sororities names based on cheerleading terms, seeing how I've spent my whole life cheering, and I have no other ideas haha.

So, yesterday I met all of the sororities

and ranked them like this


1. Pike- These girls were ridiculously nice and pretty. I felt like my conversation with one girl was a little awkward, but I left them up top because I still really liked the vibe I got being around all of them.

1. Pyramid- THIS HOUSE WAS SO AMAZING. I'm gonna be sad if they drop me, because I connected really well with the girl I talked to. We laughed and had a conversation that wasn't the typical layout, like I had with the others.

1. Dance- I also really liked this house. I felt like they were very down to earth and relaxing to talk to.

1.Basket Toss- I came into rush with these girls in high expectations. They didn't blow me away, but they were so fun to talk to, and very friendly.

1. Herkie- I fell in love with this house as well, I thought they were fun and extremely welcoming. I had no problem keeping the conversation going. We talked until I went out the door, and I enjoyed the conversation.

1. Megaphone- These girls were so real haha. They were friendly but honest. I liked them a lot!

1.Heel Stretch- These girls were all crazy gorgeous and smart. I still felt a little uneven seeing how they were all blonde, and I looked completely different from all of them. Even though I know that is irrelevant, I still felt a little bit intimidated by how perfect they all were! I had an amazing conversation and could see myself finding a home here for sure, anyways, if they choose to invite me back.

1. Scorpion- These girls were also the epitome of perfection. I felt so comfortable with the girls I talked to! It flew by, and I was sad to go because I liked talking to them so much!

2. stunt- I sort of had high hopes for this house. I still think it may have just been the girls I talked to. They were sweet, but I definitely could feel that I wasn't a perfect fit.

3.toe-touch- this is the first house I visited. I'm super clumsy so of course i embarrassed myself first thing I came in haha. This house was strange because I met about 4 girls and didn't spend much time with each of them. I did like them though, I didn't much time to make connections though.

4. Pom Poms- My conversation with this girl was pretty one sided and pretty awkward to be honest. I do like the house though, so it may still be a good fit for me! I did have to rank someone last though, so this was the only one I didn't feel perfect with right away like the others.


I leave in a hour to find out who invited me back, and to do round two!! :) IM SO NERVOUS AND EXCITED!

Makes me think you are trying to get the OP to give up enough info for you to guess the school.

so yesterday I visited
toe-touch
dance
herkie
megaphone
pom poms

I loved all of them and I completely clicked and fell in love with them, although I could feel in my heart that Megaphone was kind of awkward again and I thought that I may not get invited back.
As I sat in Herkie I fell head over heels in love with their philanthropy and everything they had to say. But honestly (don't get mad at me), I could tell that I probably won't get invited back because they were all blonde and pretty and I just felt like even though as myself I thought I could fit in, they might not think so!


SO...
This morning I got my card back and I got...
Megaphone and Toe-touch

2 out of a possible 5. Kinda upset that I was only asked back by 2, but other people and what they get isn't what matters. I just needed to worry about myself.
I love both of these, even though they WERE at the bottom of my list, after meeting with them more yesterday I fell in love with them and decided that if I get asked back I could find a home with either of them for sure. I'm still trying to get over being dropped by Herkie HAHA. I reaaaally liked their philanthropy, but you win some you lose some!

I hope both sororities invite you back. Good luck!

DesertRose 09-01-2013 05:54 PM

I am encouraged by your mature attitude and wish you the best of luck. Please continue to keep us posted!

So yesterday I went to Megaphone first, then Toe-touch. I really enjoyed Megaphone, even though the girl I talked to had not much to say. She apologized for not having anything to say, so I asked her a few random questions to keep it going, and the next girl I really enjoyed talking to also.
The weird part about Toe-touch was that I got the same girls from the other day, it was pretty uncomfortable, but I still love the girls from this house and what they represent. When they went around in their circle and told us about themselves I really started to be won over. They all had great personalities and awesome accomplishments. As did Megaphone with their circle and introductions.


In a few hours I find out what I get back. I hope I get one of them! Both of them would be AMAZING. I would be extremely bummed with nothing back. I'm just gonna stay positive and hope for the best.

Good luck! LOVE the cheer terms for the houses! Hope the rest of your recruitment is as awesome as a standing full! lol

Phigirl04 09-02-2013 12:58 PM

Good luck! Remember it only takes one.
