Day 2--Philanthropy Day!
The maximum number of parties was 6 and I got 6! I was cut from The Way We Were, but I wasn't wowed by the girls in the chapter and wasn't upset to see it not on my list. I was much more astounded that I had all 6! We were told by our Gamma Chi's that that is rare! I'm glad someone liked me!
My Party List reads:
Jawbreaker
Clueless
The Graduate
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Heathers
Lolita
Jawbreaker was first! I really liked this house! They did something new this year, house tours! The house was gorgeous as well as all the girls. We tried to make a craft, but couldn't get it to look like the picture! The 3 different girls I spoke to were really sweet. I enjoyed their philanthropy video, but it was very sad. I'm pretty conflicted with this house and 2 others. The fees are the lowest for this house! Which is a HUGE plus! I left the house very happy
Clueless was next! I went in and was paired with a singing girl and continued outside to the patio. We drank the most delicious drink! It was so good! The conversation was casual and fun. When we came back inside to watch the video the girl next to me looked at me and said this is the most comfortable I've been all day. I told her I agreed and believed that the girls here were very sweet and laid back. It was a nice video filled with silly words that made the pnm's laugh. After, I was picked up by another girl for a house tour. The house was gorgeous, of course. Even though all the houses are the same on the outside, they are SO different from each other on the inside. We also got to see different girl's rooms. That was neat cause we could see some were into music, others fashion, some movies. It was nice seeing an eclectic mix of people. I was very happy when I left this party. Their fees are the 3rd least expensive too!
The Graduate was next. This house was kind of intimidating to me. All the girls are stunning. Many girls compete in beauty pageants, etc. The girls I talked to were extremely nice, but I felt conversation was very materialistic. Like where do you shop, I love your ring, etc. I felt they weren't interested in me specifically. All the girls were sweet and beautiful. But, this was not my favorite house. Also, I found out from our fee pages that they have one of the most expensive initiation fees and active fees. I left this house and kept it under consideration.
Breakfast at Tiffany's was the next house. The singing was great once again. But, after it ended the conversation was really lacking. The 2 girls I talked to kept looking around either cause they were disinterested or looking for the next person to bump them. I felt like I had to keep the conversation going myself. It was very forced.
When I left the house, I decided it would be one of the ones I cut.
Heathers was the next house. I was really surprised to see it on my party list because it is a very sought after house and I didn't have a rec for it! The whole chapter is very impressive. They've won more awards than any other chapter and maintain a very high GPA. The 2 girls I talked to were so different! But, I really liked that. One girl was very into philanthropic work and the other was a blunt, peppy, sweet girl. I really liked them both. My head is swimming at this point because I really love all 3! I left this house happy, but confused as to what to do! This house has the 2nd lowest fees and initiation!
Lolita was last on my party list. I don't really like this house. To be honest, it's the only house out of the 7 that I really don't like. We were escorted inside and I was paired with a very stoic girl. She seemed very unexcited about her chapter's own philanthropy! She didn't smile or laugh once. I felt that I was peppier than the whole house! I asked questions and talked a lot because no one else would talk at the tables. The conversation was just so forced. I put this house once on my cut list and the second day didn't change my mind.
We went to selection and finished at 11 p.m.
We had to pick 4 loves and 2 we disliked: (1 being the most liked. 6 being the least.)
1. Jawbreaker
2. Clueless
3. Heathers
4. The Graduate
5. Breakfast at Tiffany's
6. Lolita
Tomorrow is SKIT DAY! I am very excited about this day! I've heard it is the most fun from the Gamma Chi's and from the chapter members!The maximum number of parties is 4.
