DAY THREE
Our Rho Chi had told us to be ready for a call or text from her early the next morning. A call if we had invites, or a text if we didn’t. I was pretty sure I would be getting a text, but when I looked at my phone I had an incoming call. She told me that I had some invites and to come meet her. I was almost crying I was so excited to get a call. We could be invited back to 4 places. When I opened the envelope I had been invited back to:
STARS
BLUE MOONS
I wasn’t really surprised that I only had two invites. I was actually surprised that I had any. I had gotten my first and last choice. I was really excited to see STARS. I know that it’s wrong to go in with this mentality, but it is now the only group I really wanted to join. Nothing against the BLUE MOONS but I really like the idea of a National Sorority, and that’s something that BLUE MOONS doesn’t have. Plus the fact that they’re so small. I know that may not be the right mentality to have, but it’s what I feel is right for me.
I feel like just having gotten invites today I have passed my first hurdle. Obviously I received some major cuts today so maybe I truly have a shot at making it into STARS if I made it this far with them!
STARS
This was the first party of the same and I was blown away. It was a lot like the Invite Party I went to last year, but I still had a fabulous time. Every single girl I talked to was really nice and I felt like we had legitimate and meaningful conversations. One girl was in my Rho Chi group last year and another had been in class with me the semester before. We also got into some good conversations about their Philanthropy. Their philanthropy was something that hit close to home for me, so I really enjoyed the craft we did to go along with it, and I was actually able to relate some of my experiences with the philanthropy with the girls I was talking to. They also sang some songs for us which was adorable and I had an all around great time. My best friend from High School and two of the girls I talked to at the Open Party stopped by to say hello and to say how excited they were that I was there and had come to their invite party. This is definitely a group I could see myself in.
BLUE MOONS
This party was pretty awkward. Since there are so few active members ,the girls that I ended up talking to were both alumni who had come back for the weekend to help with recruitment. Both girls were really nice, but the conversation was more awkward. There were 3 PNMs at my table and although I participated in the conversation and was friendly, it just wasn’t a great conversation.
After getting back we had time for dinner. Since this was my last party of the day I ranked them with my Rho Chi as
1. STARS
2. BLUE MOONS
I’m really hoping that I get a call from my Rho Chi tomorrow that I have an invite for the Preference Parties….but I guess it will be another tense evening of waiting to find out. Wish me luck!
