Round 3. Our Pi Chi's warned us that heavy cuts were made. I sat next to my roommate in the holding room as we awaited our lists. She got hers first, and she got asked back to her top 5. I was so excited for her! And then I got my list.
Flamingo.
To be honest, I was devastated. My self esteem was shot, and I really considered dropping out of recruitment. I had a lot of time before my party started, so I found a friend from high school to go sit with while I tried to make a decision. She helped me decide to go to the party, and make a decision afterwards.
Flamingo - As the group outside of the house was filing in, I saw a girl inside that I knew from my hometown that I loved. I knew she was going to pick me up at the door, and I've known her for years. I knew that talking to her would make me really confused about how I felt about this chapter, and it nearly put me in tears. Through the entire party, I was holding back tears and it was hard to decide how I felt. All along, I had negative feelings about this chapter, but now, a girl I loved? Way to throw me off, recruitment Gods!
So I walked back to the holding room and wrote
Flamingo down for pref round.
