Going into round one, last night, I was
incredibly nervous. Mostly because I didn't really know what to expect from the sororities, and because of my unsuccessful rush last year.
When we lined up to go to the first room (we don't have houses), I just told myself to go out and have fun, and keep an open mind for the entire process.
The first room/party that we went to was
Modern Family. I walked in and loved how the room was set up! The girl who rushed me was incredibly sweet. As nice as she was, I felt that I was doing a lot more talking than she was. But then, I realized that she (and the rest of the girls in the sororities) was probably just as nervous, if not more nervous than me. I don't know for sure if I could see myself in that sorority, but I was definitely willing to give them a second chance.
The second room was
Law & Order: SVU. Their chant was so cute, and I immediately felt comfortable here. I talked to four different girls, and one girl and I had gone to the same high school (she graduated back when I was a freshman). And the president of the sorority stopped by and said hi, because she remembered me from some of the pre-recruitment events that I had attended. Thats a good sign, isn't it? Anyways, going into this party, I was unsure of whether or not I would like it, and I came out loving this sorority. I also love their philanthropy, which is a plus!
after that we had a looooooong break, before heading to the last 3 sororities of the night.
After our break, we visited
Saturday Night Live. I absolutely adored this sorority. Their chant was so cute! I talked to 3 different girls, and they were all sooooo sweet! We had some really good conversations, and the second girl and I shared a lot of laughs, because we both are clumsy, hahaha!
I had a rec for this sorority, my high school swim coach/boss was an
SNL at UNF when she went there! Overall, I loved this sorority, and I could definitely see myself in this one.
Right after SNL, we attended the party for
Tosh.0. They were so sweet. The first girl, I could tell was a little nervous, because she accidentally asked the same question twice. We talked about a lot of things, but I felt that it wasn't as natural as the girls from the past 2 previous parties that I had attended. Dont get me wrong, she was still a really nice girl! Then she was bumped by a second girl, and we definitely clicked more. I also really liked the philanthropy of this sorority, and I was definitely willing to give them a second chance as well.
After what seems like forever, we get to our last party of the night:
CSI:NY. This was, by far, my favorite party of the night. I ended up getting rushed by a friend from one of my classes, which was so awesome!!! she showed me their scrapbook of all the fun things that her and her sisters have done in the past. This sorority seemed so down to earth. I definitely felt that I could fit into this sorority. Their chants were so cute, too! I also love their philanthropy!
After the parties were over, we went in to rank the sororities. We had to rank our top four, then choose the 5th one as our backup. we werent actually dropping anyone.
this is how I ranked them:
CSI:NY
SNL
Law & Order: SVU
Tosh.0
my backup was:
Modern Family
And, this morning, I got a text from my Recruitment Counselors saying that everyone in our RC group had gotten invited back for Round 2- which is Philanthropy Night! Round 2 starts today at 1pm.
I'll try to post my experience from Philanthropy night, as soon as I can!
TTFN, ta-ta for now
