Ok ladies so last night was second round and I never had a chance to post so here we go!!
At six I reported to our meeting place. Tonight was slightly more formal so I wore a Lilly Pulitzer dress, strapless, that was a blue and white sort of swirly flowery pattern. First night was camel slacks and a black knit top.
Anyways! We were given our cards and I almost cried. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups cut me!! I was so. I couldn't believe it. One of the Pi Chis that is a very good friend of mine (I knew her previously and her house I didn't weasel it out of her) was so excited for us to be sisters... But no. They cut me. But upon hearing that they cut just about everyone I felt a little better. They had a large bulk senior class this year and only had a few open spots, and of course had legacies. So needless to say I was disappointed.
So I had to go to Skittles, Snickers, and M&Ms.
Skittles
The Skittles were very nice. I got to talk to quite a few sisters and they sang for us. It was really cute. They redid the words to the Friend's theme song, of course all about the Skittles. I connected with quite a few girls and learned some nice stuff about the sorority and they showed us a video that was made on the national level. Remember that. I was really loving it especially since I connected so well with quite a few sisters. So I left there, considering keeping it in my top two.
Snickers
The Snickers girls were great. I was paired up with the same girl I had the first night. She remembered a LOT about me which was nice, but at the same time it was sort of odd to have her because she graduated in the spring and is technically no longer active. No matter though, I connected really well with her and another girl and I know some awesome Snickers girls. They showed us a really cute slide show of pictures of them and their events over the course of last year and it was really nice to see stuff about them. In the Skittles house they showed us a general movie about the sorority it's self. But at the Snickers house I got to see the actual girls I would call sisters, which in turn caused me to really see how sisterly they are and how much they really love each other. I loved that! That is one of the main components in a sorority that I want. I want sisters, a family, and they really showed that. It didn't hurt that they are extremely active in terms of philantrophy which was also big in my books. Unfortunately the time came to leave and I didn't want to! I really loved the Snickers house and was really sure that was where I wanted to be. So I said good bye and went to go to the next house.
M&Ms
The M&Ms... I didn't cut them the first night, they were my third choice. Like I said the Open House had put a bad taste in my mouth so I wasn't very excited to go to this house. But I sucked it up and got my self ready to go inside. I LOVED IT! The decorations all over the tables were sister's pictures and their favorite memories, and I talked to the two sisters I had talked to the night before, the president, and a few other sisters I know and I loved it. I truly felt the connection with this house and they also showed us a video. But it was videos they had taken, of themselves. All the girls did a little interview, there were videos of events and random trips, and pictures. It was great. It really, really showed me how important they are to each other, and just like I said the first night, I was really feeling the sisterhood vibe. After each girl is shirted they go inside and roll around on the floor to prove that you can do everything and anything in that house and that it is your house. I loved it. I definitely, definitely under no circumstances wanted to leave when all was said and done.
So we went and ranked and mine was as follows
M&MS
Snickers
and I cut Skittles.
So sorry for all the Reese's and Skittles fans!!
Tonight is third round and then tomorrow is Bid DAY!!!!! I'm so excited. Oh and it was moved up and hour because of a tennis match, so it's at 10 instead of 11 am. SO excited!! Wish me luck ladies!!
