After three excruciatingly long days, I received another email from A. She said that they had all had a really great time meeting me and hanging out the other night ant that they wanted to invite me to their next event. I replied saying that I had had a great time meeting them as well and that I would love to come to the next event. A couple of days later she sent me the event info.
I repeated the getting ready process all over again, sing-along and all. The event was being held in a large classroom/small lecture hall kind of room. When I got there I chatted with some of the PNMs I had met last time before some actives I hadn't met before introduced themselves. I talked to a girl that we'll call K, who was very pretty and funny and she introduced me to her roommate, who was also pretty and absolutely hilarious. I was really getting the feeling that this whole chapter might have a great sense of humor, which I liked a lot.
We all sat down at tables and one of the actives started handing out craft supplies. We were going to make Valentine's Day cards for soldiers, which I thought was so sweet. I was excited about this since we don't do crafts at UGA during formal recruitment, but I had heard of a lot of other schools that did. I was sure I would be able to come up with something cute, clever and heartfelt that a soldier would like and that would impress the Tory girls.
I sat between K and her roommate and K and I started talking. She asked me some things about myself and told me about herself and we let the conversation go where it wanted from there. We had a lot in common. We joked about how we were both very artistic (we had both taken AP art) but how we were not very crafty at all and how we didn't have good handwriting. I made a few really cute cards and one really clever one that K seemed to be very impressed with. She called several of her sisters over to look at it.
After a while they announced that we were now going to split into teams and play a game where you answer trivia questions. I got put on a different team than K. My team was mostly PNMs with only one sister. It was exciting to think that these girls could possibly end up being my sisters and my pledge class. We talked to each other for a little bit before we got started. My team dominated the trivia game and we had a lot of fun. Before I knew it, it was time to go. We all said goodbye but I didn't want to leave. I was IN LOVE with this chapter. I wanted to be a Tory.
