Round Three (actually Round Four) Sisterhood Night “We Get By With a Little Help From Our Friends”
This is the final round before pref. Remember how I was losing my voice at the end of the Philanthropy Tour? By this round I had to bring throat lozenges and a bottle of water with me from house to house. I still managed to have great conversations the houses, as well as a few moments that could qualify for the “Weird Rush Stories” Thread.
For the final time my Recruitment Group met in front of Abbey Road Studios and set off down the long and winding road that leads to the sororities.
Lennon: The Lennons had a psychedelic theme party tonight. We were split into groups of four and put into little boats on a river. The whole house was decked out with tangerine trees on the walls and marmalade skies on the ceiling. They also had rocking horse people serving us marshmallow pies as treats. After a quick presentation about Lennon and an ice-breaker game we got to talking, my little boat got along very well. One of the sisters must have been my long-lost twin because we had so much in common. This party seemed to fly by, and it was over before we knew it. I really like this house and hope I get invited back for pref.
McCartney: This house was set up to parody the Ed Sullivan Show. The sisters were dressed like Ed Sullivan and were “interviewing” us, we then had a break for a slideshow about McCartney and some snacks, before the interviews resumed. The conversations were pretty good here, there was a moment of epic awkwardness, but given the circumstances, it could have happened to anyone. I’m worried that I didn’t meet enough sisters here to make an impression. I’d be happy to go to the McCartney pref party if I’m invited, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t invite me back.
Harrison: The beautiful Harrison house was decorated to resemble an ashram. There were bold, beautiful patterns adorning the walls and elephant statues everywhere. Two sisters sat cross-legged on the floor, one was playing the tabala, the other rocking out a sitar. We were whisked downstairs to do a little craft and watch a power point presentation about Harrison. I spoke with the VP Finance and got my question from yesterday answered. It turns out that there’s no problem whatsoever with finances, which once again makes Harrison a possibility. The conversations here were great. I met a sister with a similar family background to mine as well as the Chapter President, who was very nice. It seems like a lot of Harrisons belong to the same clubs and organizations I do. I really want to go back to this house for pref. I’m really hoping they invite me back tomorrow.
Starr: This chapter’s theme was “Octopus’ Garden.” The house was decorated as though we were underwater. The effect was very cute. It seemed like the whole chapter remembered my name, which was very flattering. I had great conversations here for the most part, but one sister said some things that sounded a little bit rude and presumptuous when comparing Starr to other chapters on campus. It was a long day so maybe she was just tired and didn’t realise how she sounded to us. Either way, I would like to go to Starr’s pref party. I won’t write off the entire chapter based on one bad conversation.
Back at Abbey Road Studios, we had to officially rank the houses for the first time. I could choose my top two, then a third and a fourth. I already knew who my first and fourth choices were, but I couldn’t decide who to put as my second and third choice. After some deliberation, my official rankings were:
1. Lennon
2. Harrison
3. Starr
4. McCartney
Tomorrow is Pref Night! Stay tuned GC and thank you so much for the compliments, I'm flattered that you like my story!
