I feel 2nd party went a lot better than the 1st party. Here's the breakdown:

Rock of Ages - This round was more one-on-one than the last party, which was group-on-group. Conversations flowed fairly well, and I got to talk with three women. I'm still not sure I mesh well with the chapter, but there's still one more party plus Preference.

Wicked - I love that I'm getting to know the women of Wicked more than I had before! They talked about their philanthropy events (some of which I didn't know as much about) and I learned about some of their local efforts. I really clicked with one of my two rushers, and I'm a bit more convinced that I could fit into this chapter.

Beauty and the Beast - I feel I really got a glimpse of what all goes into being a member of our Beauty and the Beast chapter. I learned more about their socials, service events, and sisters-only gatherings. I have to admit their average GPA really draws me to them, plus they have a super-established academic help program. I was rushed by four women, three of whom I know very well. I feel like I'd be comfortable as a sister of Beauty and the Beast, but I'm still rather attracted to...

The Phantom of the Opera - Even though I didn't feel as engaged or talkative during this round (we were both double rushed and working on a craft for a local philanthropy), I still enjoyed my time there. I was rushed by the same woman the whole time, but it was alright.

Personal opinion rankings:
1) Beauty and the Beast
2) The Phantom of the Opera
3) Wicked
4) Rock of Ages

It feels kind of weird because Rock of Ages is the closest thing we have to "top tier" and it seems like everyone wants the bid in their envelope to read "Rock of Ages"....but I'm not sure if I'm feeling it.
