So the next day I went to meet with my Rho Chi group – for Round 2 we could attend up to 4 parties.
My invitations were from:
Mercury
Neptune
Mars
Jupiter
The first names I looked for were Jupiter and Mars and I was ecstatic to see them both on my invitation list!! I was not surprised to have no invitation to Pluto after spilling my drink on myself at the party. But I sort of hoped to be invited back to Venus again and was a little bummed not to have one. However, after I talked to my boyfriend at the time he asked if I really thought that was a group I could see myself in and the honest answer was not really. While the Round 2 parties were also over 2 days, I had 3 parties on Friday and only 1 on Saturday.
I had Neptune, Mars, and Jupiter on Friday and Mercury on Saturday. I wore a blue silk dress with black heels for my Round 2 parties. Before my parities began on Friday, I asked my Rho Chi what to do if I really wanted a bid from one certain group – I really wanted Jupiter and asked her what to do. She told me to make sure I complimented their party, skit, and asked about getting involved in the chapter.
I remember the Jupiter party in detail – it was so pretty and it was a New Year’s Eve themed party with a countdown to bid day. I did exactly what my Rho Chi said to do and was as sincere as I could be because I really wanted Jupiter.
I also had a good time at Mars and could totally see myself there. These girls were down to earth and I just had a good time there. They were still a strong #2, but they were #2 as I didn’t think anything could beat Jupiter.
I had a good time at the Neptune party – again I liked these girls and I knew I could be happy there but I wasn’t in love with this group like Jupiter and Mars.
The worst part about Round 2 was that I had only 1 party on Saturday and had to get all dressed up to go to my least favorite chapter. I actually met a girl I liked a lot at Mercury and their skit was much better in terms of how they presented their chapter. It was a Broadway type skit and was very classy and really showcased the talents of the chapter girls. However, it could not change my impression and this was not a group I saw myself in.
So again, no ranking or paperwork after parties and I had to wait for my Rho Chi meeting on Sunday afternoon to find out who invited me for Pref.
