The next morning I went to meet my recruitment counselor and I had been invited back to...
cherry
watermelon
orange
apple
mango
kiwi
I was so happy that I had a full schedule! My recruitment counselor had said before that bigger cuts wouldn't come until the next day, but I was still thrilled because I knew some girls who didn't have a full schedule at all! I was ready for the day to begin and hoped for as good of luck as the day before..
I headed off to orange to start my day. It was philanthropy day and I was surprised at how committed these girls actually seemed to their philanthropy. It was a bit awkward, I have to admit, because it was me, another PNM and 2 actives and the other PNM would NOT stop talking the ENTIRE time. I could barely get a word in edgewise and I could tell the 2 actives didn't really know what to do/say either. By the end of the party, I couldn't really gauge how it went because I hadn't really been able to connect with the active I was paired with, but as I was leaving her friendliness reassured me...
At watermelon, I was somewhat disappointed to be paired with the same person as the day before....not that she wasn't friendly, I just wanted to be able to meet more people and I didn't feel like that would happen if I kept talking to the same person...Thankfully, I was bumped off to another active and first I was thankful...but this girl was SO AWKWARD. I couldn't tell if she was nervous or what, but she was talking so quietly and wouldn't make eye contact at all. I felt like I had to lead the conversation and after a while I just gave up and did my craft. I left knowing I really didn't want to come back here...
I was so excited to be back at mango, one of my favorites from the day before! The first girl I talked to, I had a class with the semester before so we were somewhat familiar with one another already so we had a little bit to talk about. I was just so relieved to be back here after my awful experience at watermelon. Halfway through the party, I was bumped off to another girl and we were going to watch a video about their philanthropy. I had absolutely NOTHING in common with the next girl I was paired with. I asked questions about the philanthropy and the conversation flowed, I could just tell we weren't clicking at all. I left thinking I wouldn't be asked back here...
Next was apple. The girl I was paired with that day was super down to earth and really easy to talk to. We had a really good conversation as we worked on the craft. I was really glad! A few girls bumped into our conversation and I felt like I could easily talk to each of them. I left thinking I really wanted to return here!!!
At cherry I was paired with a girl who said she just finished her term as VP of something in the house...this made me nervous but I thought it was a good thing! We did the craft and talked about what I wanted in a sorority and when I told her she seemed to light up and said that's exactly what cherry had provided for her. I thought this was a really good sign and everything just seemed to click. We went on a tour of the house next and it was absolutely gorgeous, I could definitely see myself living there! We watched a video and talked a little more about what I really wanted in new sisters. I left thinking I was in LOVE with this house!
Last was kiwi. I knew the girl I was paired with already and the conversation was easy. However, I decided to shift the focus so I could find out some deeper meaning to kiwi. I asked about the philanthropy and the active I was paired with seemed really passionate about the philanthropy and she made the events sound REALLY fun. I left being more excited about kiwi than I was the previous day. I would like to return here.
At the end of the day, I had some hard decisions to make. The next day, we could return to 4 houses and tonight I had to rank my bottom 2. I had loved mango before, but today it just felt off, so I finally decided to rank...
1. Cherry
1. Orange
1. Apple
1. Kiwi
2. Mango
3. Watermelon
