Dayyyyyy two! Theme night! I was really excited all day about recruitment that night. I had stayed up all night talking to my mom about how unexpectedly excited I was to keep going in the process. I also voiced my financial concerns to her because at this point, the money issues were the only thing standing in my way of being a sorority woman.
I get to my groups designated meeting spot and am the first one there so I start chatting with my rho chi's. They tell me all about the length of the parties and how late the night will be. One of the girls then tells me I'm pretty unlucky cause my party was the late one at 10... I'm not sure if it was the way she worded the sentence or what... but all i heard was "party" as in one. Only one. I suddenly got very very nervous and asked, "Oh, will I only be going to one party tonight?" and all they said was "Well lets wait for the other girls to show up before we tell you that." I was absolutely mortified... The only sorority I knew that kept girls that all the others dropped was Meredith I almost didn't even want to stay for the parties. I could barely have made it through the first party with them.
The other girls in my group came while I was fighting back tears. I kept thinking to myself, I'm not bad looking, I'm kinda cute, I can have a conversation, and I can even be funny sometimes... WHATS WRONG WITH ME??? It seemed to take forever for the rho chis to pass out the invitation cards and of course, I was the last one to recieve mine. A couple of the girls before me had only been invited back to Meredith and a lot were cut from Olivia & Izzie especially. I knew I was done for... The girls finally passed me mine and I looked on the card...
All that worrying for nothing!!! I had a full party list with only getting dropped by Olivia but Meredith invited me back! I was sooooo relieved! I did feel badly for the other girls but I was still on Cloud 9! Until I got the dreaded text message from Sophomore Rushee
"I just want to drop out right now"
I immediately went looking for her since all my parties were scheduled for the last three time slots. Low and behold, Izzie had dropped her... We were both so confused and she was so upset! We had to go to the bathroom so she could cry with out the other girls seeing but in the bathroom there were tonsssssss of other girls basically crying buckets over Izzie & Olivia cutting them. It was a tad ridiculous truth be told. In the bathroom, but thankfully not crying, was Freshman Rushee. She got invited back to her top two choices Meredith and Olivia. However, she was pretty offended that Izzie had cut her because she thought she was the bee's knee's. I kinda thought that she had it coming to her for TEXTING during the parties though!
Okay time for the parties! 
Izzie: Their theme night was so much fun! The song and dance was so cute and you could tell the girls were having an absolute blast with each other. The girls I talked to were talking about all the great bonding times they have had and how wonderful being in this sorority was. They did not sound fake at all about it, they were genuinely ecstatic to be Izzie's which I thought was fantastic. I also talked to a girl about the bad experiences I had been having with friends for the past two years and turns out she had almost the same experiences! She said that joining this group really helped her connect. We bonded for sure and I was really hoping to get to see the Izzie girls at pref the next day.
Christina: I was sooooo excited to be going back to this group of girls. They were so fun and so much like me that I was anxious for more! They def did not disappoint! The sisterhood in this chapter is amazing and it showed in their skit, and it was still very informative about what their chapter holds near and dear to their hearts. I talked to fantastic girls once again and felt so welcome there it was unbelievable.
Meredith: The party I was least looking forward to... It was at 10 o'clock at night for Pete's Sake! I honestly do not remember much about this party at all except that the skit took up the entire party slot, so there was not much talking... I was very thankful for that.
At the end of the night I knew for sure I was going to be a Christina so I ranked them and Izzie. I was hoping to get invited back to both but I thought for sure I knew where I was going after that night. I only hoped my friends could be as lucky as I was.
