DAY 1:
Day 1 was philanthropy day. At first I was a little nervous but I was also really excited! Before we walked into every room to meet the active members they were screaming chants and clapping and dancing. It was super fun but a bit intimidating at first.
First I visited KIM: I loved it here! I felt totally comfortable and talked to some really cool girls (I don’t remember what we talked about) but there were never any awkward pauses which was nice. They also put on a really funny skit about their philanthropy. I also got to talk two girls I knew from my high school which made me feel more at ease. Overall it was a great start to the day!
Next we went to KOURTNEY: I was paired to talk with a girl who had the same name as me, and we were also both from the same hometown. Their skit was also funny but didnt really have anything to do with their philanthropy and considering it was philanthropy day I thought that was a bit odd. The girls seemed nice but I didnt feel as comfortable as I did at KIM. I wouldnt mind coming back, but I wouldnt be crushed if I am not invited back.
After KOURTNEY I went to KYLIE: I loved it here! I was paired to talk to a girl who I’m friends with (we are both in an extra-curricular together and had a class together first semester). I also talked to a few other girls who were really nice and there were no awkward silences which was a plus! Their skit was hilarious! It involved some of my favorite movies and talked a lot about their philanthropy. I left here loving it and really hoping I get invited back.
Then we went to KENDALL: This is known as a "top sorority" but I wasnt loving it. The girls were nice but they rubbed me the wrong way. All they did was talk about shopping (and how thats helping the economy), country clubs, and vacation. not that I dont enjoy all these things I just dont think they should be a basis for a friendship or a sisterhood. Their skit involved a show I have never seen so I did not understand it. Also, most girls had fake tans and super blonde hair. I left feeling that I wouldnt mind not being invited back but I would also like to get to know them better.
After our lunch break I visited MASON: The girls seemed a little bit awkward, but super nice! I held decent conversations with the girls I talked to, but they never brought up their philanthropy, but seemed to have a tight sisterhood! I left wanting to come back to learn more about these girls.
Afterwards we went to KHLOE: I felt so comfortable here! the girls I talked to were so genuine and down to earth! They also seemed to love their philanthropy! Additionally they seemed to have a really strong sisterhood. I left loving this sorority and keeping my fingers crossed that I get asked back tomorrow.
Next up was KRIS: they were really loud! The girls were really outgoing and funny (they didnt take themselves too seriously which I liked). Their skit was cheesy and they didnt talk too much about their philanthropy at all. I had funny conversations with members, but I also know that everyone "loves" this sorority so I wouldnt be shocked if I was cut from this group tomorrow, but Im hoping I can go back.
Next I went to BRUCE: I really liked this group a lot! The girls seemed very “real” and involved on campus. I talked to one girl who had a really strong connection to their philanthropy and it was very touching to hear her story. I left BRUCE hoping to be asked back tomorrow!
The last group of the day was LAMAR: They were really nice but the conversations seemed a bit forced. A lot of times I had to keep the conversation rolling, and at other places I didnt have to. Their skit was hilarious, but didnt even mention their philanthropy. Overall I really liked this house and am hoping to be asked back tomorrow, but wouldnt be totally crushed if I dont.
At the end of the day we had to rank all 9 sororities. The last three were the ones that we would prefer to not go back to. I had a little bit of a hard time making the decision because I pretty much liked all of them, but this was how I ranked them:
1) KHLOE
2) KIM
3) BRUCE
4) KYLIE
5) KRIS
6) MASON
7) LAMAR
8) KENDALL
9) KOURTNEY
