[AMH129]

I woke up bright and early to get ready for my first full day of recruitment. I was excited to find out which six houses had invited me back. I met my Pi Chi group in Greek Village, excited to get the day going. Our Pi Chis called us over one at a time to hand us our schedule. All of the girls who got their schedule before me seemed really happy about the houses they got asked back to.

Finally it was my turn to receive my schedule. I walked over to my Pi Chis and they handed me my schedule. I look down at it and all I saw was two houses: Marcia and Cindy. I couldn't believe it....only two houses! I didn't understand why I was only invited back to two and especially Cindy. My Pi Chis explained to me that the girls must have not felt a connection with me that's why I was only invited back to two. But I had ranked Cindy seventh and I sat in silence with the girls throughout most of the party. I started crying uncontrollably and I'm not the type of girl who cries easily. I guess I never realized how much I wanted to be in a sorority.

I wiped the tears off my face and walked back over to my Pi Chi group. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just stood there in silence. One of the girls in my group walked over to me to ask what houses I got asked back to. She helped cheer me up. She told me so many positive things about Cindy that got me thinking that I should give them another chance.

Marcia: I was excited to go back to this house especially since they were my number one. For Philanthropy day, we made boo-boo bunnies. I didn't even get to finish mine because I was in such deep conversation with each girl. The hour just flew by. I felt so much better after going to this first party.

Cindy: I was ready to give them another chance. As soon as I walked into the house, one of the girls that rushed me yesterday said hi to me. She even remember my name. I was shocked. I must have won her over. For Philanthropy day, we made cute picture frames. I had a blast talking to these girls. They were beginning to grow on me.

After my two parties, I ranked my last two sororities.

Marcia
Cindy

It was nice to be done earlier than everyone else. I just wish I had more houses to go to. But I couldn't change that. I just focused on getting asked back to both Marcia and Cindy.
