Philanthropy Round-Over 2 Days
So Sweet Pea attended parties at the following houses:
Gruene
Wimberely
Dripping Springs
Blanco
New Braunfels
Kerrville
Llano
Leakey
She attended the party at Gruene and really loved their philanthropy. She had a good conversation with her rusher and enjoyed learning more about the chapter.
Wimberley, her original front runner, again made a very strong showing but keep reading to find out what she thought about the overall process of recruitment and how it effects that thought process.
Dripping Springs-She really had a great time here today. She felt stronger about this chapter during this round.
Blanco-Sweet Pea is really loving this chapter. She liked that they stressed to her the importance of academics and she had a great conversation with her rusher.
New Braunfels-Again, nice conversations and she enjoyed her visit here.
Kerrville-Again, she really likes this house. She felt the rusher was really trying to sell her on this particular chapter. She let Sweet Pea know that they head great things in store for skit night and she was bumped to the President and they had a good conversation.
Llano-She really liked the philanthropy here also, but felt the conversation was more about her rusher talking about life at UT than trying to get to know her.
Leakey-She really liked how the rusher explained their philanthropy. Sweet Pea felt that her rusher was focused on the same questions of round one. She didn’t think she progressed here like she did with the other houses.
Sweet Pea was really happy after today. She had to rank her bottom two and she ranked Leaky & Llano.
She said if she had to pick one of the other six as “the one” she could not do this at this point. She is glad that recruitment is a mutual selection process because she wants the computer to do the selecting! She said she is hoping for a party schedule tomorrow, but knows big cuts are coming. She knows it only takes one. She said she is looking for a home that balances academics, the philanthropy and social activities. She has heard how some chapters do this via her conversations, and is looking forward to getting to know the other chapter’s stance on this balance. At this point she does not have a front runner, which she is happy about because she will be grateful for any house on her party list, even Leaky & Llano. She recognizes that given more time, and meeting different people, she can change her perception at any of the houses!
They have moved convocation up to 2:00 tomorrow…so until then….Sweet Dreams UT PNMs!
