Day 2!
We all gathered in a classroom, ready for day 2, which was supposed to be Philanthropy day. Oh but of course, there was a surprise. Classes were cancelled for the next day (same as preference night) so we were going to extend the night, combine it, and get bids on day 2! everyone was freaking out, we were all so nervous and scared. i wasn't prepared for this! anyways.. we got into our groups and went room to room this time....
1st room...
Cosmopolitan...
After waiting impatiently outside the room for a few minutes, they finally let us in. We were told to choose a table, where we were going to make valentines for children as a philanthropy project. i was pleasantly surprised to have great conversations with the girls in this chapter, and they were all very down to earth and really seemed to enjoy each others company. i liked these girls but they weren't my favorite.
2nd room...
Marie Claire...
They sang a cute song and grabbed us one by one as we walked in the door, leading us to a table with markers and t-shirts. we did an ice breaker but couldn't even finish because we were all getting along so well. i really got along well with the girls in this chapter, they were sweet and funny, but I only got to really talk to 2 girls. I liked them more than Cosmopolitan but the night wasn't over yet.
Last Room...
Vogue...
This chapter also sang and took us by the arm to a table. i thought this was so cute and wondered why the first chapter didn't do anything like this. i knew going in that this is the place where i wanted to be, but the nerves were taking over! i loved all of the girls i met in this chapter and knew i could see myself here. the vp of recruitment made such a sweet speech about the impact Vogue had on her life. We all loved it =)
Anyway, after we visited all 3 rooms we were led back to the original room where we were told to write down our top 2 choices. I knew what my first choice was but was torn over what to put as my 2nd, or if to put a 2nd at all. Apparantly, if you put 2 and got your 2nd choice and denied the bid, you can't accept a bid from any other chapter for a year.
This whole thing confused me and i ended up putting ...
1. Vogue
2. Marie Claire
Then at the last second I crossed out Marie Claire and hoped for the best, seeing that if I didn't get a bid at all I could go to C.O.B. for all 3 chapters if I wanted. Too many snap decisions!
They told us we'd be getting a phone call from someone in the chapter if we got a bid, that night... so nerve racking!
