Second Round – We could attend 9 chapters at the maximum. I actually got 9 at this point and was pretty shocked. I didn’t have time to write as many details for these so I’m sorry if it’s lacking. I’m trying to remember everything. Today was philanthropy/skit day.
Stawberry Cheesecake – On the first day I had felt like this house was very chill…they were definitely more pumped up today! The skit was adorable and my conversations with the two actives I spoke to weren’t awkward or anything. We talked about more conversational topics than what we had yesterday. I didn’t feel like I was at an interview anymore. I left this house feeling good.
Triple Caramel Chunk – The girls in this group barely talked about their philanthropy and when they did, it was very brief. The active I spoke to blanched when I asked her if they ever went and worked personally with the charity. I had liked the house before so I felt discouraged.
Mint Chocolate Chip – I was double rushed in this house and it completely ruined the chapter for me. It had been my first house the day before and it had gotten me excited for recruitment. The girls were much less peppy today and I felt like they should have been more excited for their skit. I didn’t really care if I got asked back here. I wrote it down as being “alright.”
S'mores – I was in love with the philanthropy for this house and the skit was so adorable! The girl I spoke to the day before had so much passion for the chapter but I spoke to a different girl this day and she was very bland. I asked her if the new pledge class hung out at the house with the girls often and she acted like I was crazy for thinking that you could do that. Once again, I was upset that I didn’t like it as much as the day before.
Peach Cobbler – I was in love with this house! I talked to four more girls (this house was big on bumping, so I wasn’t the only who talked to three or four) and felt so “at home” with them. I’m more of a “guy’s girl” than anything and they were all so much like me. I was laugh-crying by the end of their skit and I was praying that I’d get asked back by these girls!
Milk&Cookies – I hadn’t really wanted to go back here but it was much better than the day before. We were taken through the house and we had a skit—it wasn’t very good in comparison to the others I had seen but you could tell the girls were having fun. At the most I was lukewarm about this chapter.
Chunky Monkey – Everyone I talked to had been invited back to this house and the rumor was that it was low in numbers. Mind you, I say rumor! The conversation I had with the girl was much better than the day before but she didn’t talk about their philanthropy so I was confused because that’s what today was supposed to be about…
Maple Blondie – This was the house I had a rec from and I was excited to go back. The conversations were alright and so was the skit. I had really wanted to fall in love with this house because my friend was in it but I just didn’t feel great leaving it. I had a feeling I wouldn’t be back which was fine with me at that point.
Cherry Garcia – These girls were extremely loud and energetic but I had a gut feeling that I wasn’t their type. I don’t want to say anything rude about any chapter so I’ll just leave it at that.
I can’t find my ranking for this house anywhere! But I knew I only loved two of the houses which were:
Peach Cobbler and Stawberry Cheesecake
I know that it’s crazy and slightly close minded to only like 2 out of 9 but the second round for me was just horrible. Girls were upset about only getting 3 or 4 back whereas I ended up being miserable going to all of these houses and being disappointed. I tried to stay upbeat and open minded but it was a very stressful day for a lot of us.
