Cool An Around the World Fall 08 Recruitment!

I am a poster on GreekChat, but I created a new username for certain reasons

To experience my recruitment last fall, we are going to travel around the world to some of the most glamorous cities!

Rome
Los Angeles
Barcelona
Paris
Miami
Tokyo
New York
London


I am a BIG legacy to Barcelona, but I didn't really know anything about recruitment.

I was so excited the first day! I could not wait to find out what house I would be in and get to know sisters that I could have life long friendships with.
We would visit 4 houses today, and 4 houses the next day for the open house.

The first house was Rome. They had such a beautiful house. I was incredibly nervous as we waited along their walkway. Suddenly they started singing and finally opened the door. I got picked up by a sister and she led us to a living room where she knelt on the floor below me. We talked about what I did last summer and such. I didn't really have an impression about them yet, I was still too overwhelmed about the whole process

Next was Los Angeles. When they opened the doors the sisters were lined up the staircase. They were all perfectly matching and were singing us a song. I instantly hoped that I would like this house. I talked to one of the sister the entire time. She was not the greatest rusher where our conversation had many awkward pauses, where neither the rusher or I could think of a question to ask. I went through all of my back up questions but we still had a lot of time left. I was not as impressed with the house, but I realized that this was only one of the sisters. Maybe I would connect with the other actives better?

Then we were off to Barcelona. I was so excited! And nervous! and thought that I was going to pass out cause I wanted to like them so much! Basically I was all over the place. I got called by a sister who lived near my hometown and had given me a tour of the house a year earlier with my mom. She didn't remember me, but we had a lovely conversation. I got bumped to another sister, who I didn't have as much of a great conversation with, but she was still great. We talked about the fun movie nights they had in the house. I enjoyed how comfortable I felt there. I loved this house!

We had dinner at a Starbucks. I talked with a few of the girls in my rush group. One was a major legacy to Paris,she was extremely nice, but was very tom-boyish as well. Paris seemed to have a reputation for having absolutely stunning ladies so I did not know how that would go. My mom instructed me to not say a word about which house I was a legacy to any of the PNM's, Rho Gammas, or anyone at school. So I didn't and it was always an awkward topic.

Next was Tokyo. The outside architecture of the house was not my favorite at all. It slightly scared me actually. I actually hoped that I would not like them, so that I could cross them and their scary house off my list. However, I went inside and talked with a wonderful sister. I was bumped to a girl who was in my Self-Defense class! She was telling me how excited she was for me to be going through recruitment and we had a great conversation. I really liked Tokyo.

Recruitment was so fun! I could not wait for the next day!

ETA: Couldn't read Barcelona's color & the description of Los Angeles wasn't well written
ETA: Took out personal information
