DAY 3!!!
Today was skit day! I was excited to get the day going because I had such a great day learning about philanthropy the day before!! I met my recruitment counselor and my schedule said......
orange
kiwi
watermelon
I had only been invited back to 3 places (the max was 4) which wasn't terrible, but I was so sad. I had loved both cherry and apple the day before. I was somewhat shocked to see orange on my schedule because the previous day I hadn't had much time to connect because the other PNM in my group dominated the entire conversation. I didn't get emotional, because I believe everything really does happen for a reason, but I was, admittedly, upset about the outcome. I was fine with kiwi being on the schedule because I was warming up to it even more, but watermelon?? I had an awful time there the day before and I didn't want to return at ALL. But, I kept my chin up and headed out for skit day...
I was at kiwi first. The skit was really funny and I thought really showed the diverse personalities of the girls in the house. That was something I liked because I really wasn't looking for a cookie-cutter sorority. I wanted to be with a group of girls that were truly genuine and I could be myself around. I thought the skit really showed that. Also, the active I was paired with was SO COOL. I felt like we could talk about anything and I really liked that about her. She told me too that the idea of a "cookie-cutter" sorority wasn't for her either and she felt like she really fit in at kiwi. I left really really liking this house!
Next wasorange. The skit was absolutely HILARIOUS. I was laughing so hard by the end of it and I also could tell these girls really cared for each other. The active I was paired with was a friend from class and she told me she was so happy to see me there and she had been hoping she would be able to talk to me all week and she was so glad she finally had the chance. A few girls who were in the skit bumped into the conversation and I felt like we all clicked so so well. I had an awesome time at this party and I left feeling on cloud 9. I practically felt like I was a part of orange already.
Finally, it was time to head off to watermelon and I was not looking forward to it at all.... I was greeted by the SAME girl from Day 1 and Day 2. I was so confused, because I liked this girl and all, but I didn't feel like we had THAT much in common really and, since I had a bad taste in my mouth about this house, I really wanted to meet more people so I could maybe change my mind a little bit. The skit was just OK, but it felt that they were trying a little too hard and it just all felt a little forced. I guess today was a little better than Philanthropy day had been, but I knew this house was just not for me...
I knew how I would rank my choices tonight and I knew where I wanted to go for Pref the next evening. My rankings at the end of the day were...
1. Orange
1. Kiwi
2. Watermelon
