There are a few threads on JC about last night, and so far no one has said a single bad thing about Venus! Yay!! It really reaffirms my belief that the stereotypes that my sisters are "ugly, fat, awkward losers" are completely unfounded and that it really shows in the rush room. Ironically, it's the top chapters that are getting a lot of bad press... basically, I think girls go in there with unrealistic expectations that every single sister is going to be some sort of greek goddess (pun intended!) and are kind of upset to see that they're just normal girls, the same as all the other chapters. Odd.
One thing I was struck by last night is how many PNMs have friends that are already greek at other schools. A lot of their friends went through last fall, and now our PNMs are really excited to get started after having to wait a whole semester. A lot of girls I talked to had friends that are Venuses at other schools, so that was exciting! And hopefully their Venus friends will convince them to give us a shot
Tonight we're working on finishing up the last of the decorations and preparing food for the parties tomorrow. It'll be good to get everything done - or at least mostly done!
