Round 2

Today has been so emotional. This monring I found out that I was only invited back to two houses. I was disappointed for not seeing one sorority that I really enjoyed yesterday not on my list. And, yet, I was excited that my first choice was also on the list.

The first house I visited was cheesecake. My opnion is completely diffrent than last night. It, like I said, was the last house that I visited yesterday, so I guess my judgement was a little clouded due to dehydration and exhaustion. Well today, I loved talking to these women, and they were so excited to see me again. I talked to the same girls as yesterday, but today on a much more personal level and they were so excited and dedicated to their philantrophy. I never knew that they were so passionate for it, and I absoultly love that and the types of activities they do for it. I really enjoyed being here and felt comfortable today. If invited back, I can't wait to see if it is even more like home or not.

Second house was cupcakes, and I was a little upset. I did not get to talk to many people. The person I was paired up with left me alone for a while, and I could not join the girls that were sitting next to me's conversation. Once a sister sat with me, she joined a diffrent conversation and I didn't talk to her until the hour was almost over. However, she was really great to talk to, and I really enjoyed the quick conversation we had. I hope the lack of communicating with sisters doesn't hurt me. I really wanted to know more about them because yesterday I felt like I was home, and I adore their philanthropy also. I really wish I could have talked to someone on a more personal one-on-one level with these girls. I'm also aware that their rotaiton may have been off, and I somehow got looked over for awhile, however, I am still a little upset that I didn't get to know them as much today. If invited back, I will forget what happened today, and enjoy meeting new women in their chapter.

Making a ranking decision was completly difficult since with both chapters my opinions were drastic from yesterday. I talked with my rho gamma and feel confident that I will be able to see tomorrow which one is right for me. Also, since I only had to rank two, I have a beter chance (I think and was told) that I will actually visit both of these houses again since I didn't have to rank four diffrent ones. THe execs were telling us that UNT has really good stats for getting girls bids and to prefs, so I'm hoping I do get the invite back from both of them.

Also, today was a little stressful, because even though you aren't suppose to talk about it, many girls (of whom I think most were freshman) were asked back to more than four houses and had to make decisions this morning. I wasn't upset that I only had two, but annoyed that they were making such a big deal about it. However, after talking to numerous girls that are sophomores, they were cut heavily too. Many only went to two houses also, and they were not all their top choices. This kind of upsets all of us, but understand that each sorority is looking for girls in certain classifcations, and the majority of the slots go to freshman. Eh, at least I am still really excited about pref night tomorrow and looking foward to seeing if either of these two houses could be perfect for me. I have no idea what to expect during pref! Can't wait to find out!

I'd also like to thank everyone that answered my post so early in the morning. Your support and advice was wonderful and helped me throughout the day.
