Since you've been so patient... here's the second installment of my story

I was very nervous but excited to meet with my group and find out where I would be headed for this round. I had heard that the skit round was the best day of recruitment. We could attend a maximum of 7 houses for skit round. However, when I met with my Rho Chi, I was shocked to find that I had only invited back to 4 houses! I wondered what I had done wrong or why so many groups had dropped me after the first round, including many that I had references to. I was invited back to:

Hanoverian
Selle Francais
Clydesdale
Westphalian

I called my mom searching for some advice. I was absolutely devastated that many of the sororities that I had fallen in love with the previous round had dropped me without giving me a second chance. I instantly figured that it was because I was a sophomore, but I texted my two friends who are also sophomores, and Christina had been asked back to 6 out of her top 7 and the first one of her bottom 3, and Sarah had been invited back to 3 of her top choices and her bottom 3. Maybe I just wasn’t memorable? I spoke with my Rho Chi and she encouraged me to continue through this round and we would talk again after my last round since I would finish a couple of hours early.

Hanoverian- I tried to dry my eyes and regain my composure before being led into this house. Their skit was very cute and made me laugh at times even though I was feeling horrible inside. I spoke with some girls about the financial sheet, and I didn’t feel like this round was going as well as it could have. I just didn’t have very many questions since I hadn’t had a chance to look at the sheet.

Selle Francais- I tried harder at this round to be interested, and their skit was a movie theme. I spoke with a couple of girls about the financial sheet here as well, and laughed with one of them about her role in the skit. She did very well and resembled her character when she was all dressed up. I was beginning to feel better after this round.

Westphalian- Their skit was very creative, but felt too dramatic and overdone. I spoke with a couple of different girls about the financial stuff. Once again, the conversations seemed forced and awkward. This house was at the bottom of my list once again.

Clydesdale- I was led in with another PNM to watch the skit. The skit was adorable and the songs were very clever. The two of us were then taken into another room to talk about the financial stuff. Unlike the other houses, the girls elaborated on their social events and other activities during this round as well. I was beginning to like it here and spoke with some very nice girls.

After this round, I spoke with my Rho Chi and decided to stick it out once again. We were supposed to list our top 5 and rank our bottom 2, but since I only had 4, I wrote all four down.

Ranking After Round Two:
