I got my party list and was really excited because I got the max number of parties again which was 4!
Clueless
The Graduate
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Lolita
I was really surprised to see Lolita on my bid list again. Even after I had cut them every night, but our Gamma Chi's told us that today was a more serious day and that the chapters would ask you if you could see yourself there and explained further that if you could be sure to tell them that and if you didn't be sure to tell them that too.
Clueless was the first house! I love this house! I talked to one girl that I knew already, but then 2 others that I had never met and I liked them all. During their skit, I thought to myself, I'd really like to be here. I made sure to tell 1 of the girls I talked to that I've felt good here from Day 1 and really enjoyed their skit. I left this house feeling good.
The Graduate was the 2nd house! I know this house is extremely desired, but I don't feel like it's home to me. The girls were all sweet and nice and their skit was something right out of a movie. But, I couldn't see myself there.
Breakfast at Tiffany's was the 3rd house! I really love Clueless, but another part of me would be happy here also. All the girls we sweet and funny and so energetic! I think this was the loudest house on the row! Haha. These girls clearly have a ton of fun, wherever they are. I left this house happy.
Lolita was the last house. The girl I was paired with talked to me before the skit and asked me if I could see myself here. I collected myself and explained that I felt much more comfortable in some of the other houses and felt this was not the home for me. I felt bad saying that, but my Gamma Chi assured me later that they respect you a lot more for telling them than lying and saying that you're having a great time, when really you are not. Another girl came and talked to me about her rush experience and to not get my heart set on any particular one. But, I have kept an open mind this entire rush! Honestly, the only house out the 7 that I could never see myself in was this one. The girl told me that she was realistic and all 400 girls going through rush would not end up all at the same place. I left this house kind of upset because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I know every girl loves their sorority with all their heart.
We had to select 2 that we wanted to go back to. And 2 that we didn't want to go back to for Pref Night! Ah! It got here so fast!
1. Clueless
2. Breakfast at Tiffany's
3. The Graduate
4. Lolita
Today is Pref Day/Night! I am very excited and anxious to get my party list! Wish me luck everyone!
P.S. I talked to my Gamma Chi about finances! My Gamma Chi, along with all of you, are correct! It's about a $250 difference between each of the sororities. That definitely won't make me or break me! This puts my mind more at ease! Thank you all so much for your helpful advice!
I'm having a great recruitment because of much needed advice from GC!
