Hey all! I have to be up at 6 AM to get my schedule tomorrow so I'm going to try to get this done quickly but I had the most lovely time tonight!

First was Aquarius! I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this sorority because I had gone to a COB event for them last semester and felt somewhat awkward and uncomfortable then, but I actually really enjoyed myself this time. I had a really funny conversation with one of the actives about building a wave pool so that we could have the ocean near campus. I didn't love them, but I certainly liked them.

The Virgos seemed like really nice girls. We weren't allowed to take our recruitment notes with us and I forgot to take a picture of my notes from this group, so I don't remember a whole ton, but I definitely had a good time. I think I met another girl who played the same high school sport as me, which was really cool. Overall, I wanted to get to know the Virgos a little better before I passed judgement on them.

Next was Gemini! I really enjoyed myself here; we totally got past the basic conversation questions and I liked the girls I talked with. The president came over and introduced herself to me at one point, and while I don't know if that means anything I thought it was pretty cool. I wrote in my notes that I would LOVE to go back!

After Gemini we went to Libra. I enjoyed talking about sisterhood and why I was interested in a sorority with some of the Libras, and I felt like each rusher made a different personal connection with me. I could really see myself there.

I had several friends in the Leos that I visited next-one girl was from my state and remembered me from when we met at the out-of-state connections group last year, which was super cool. I also got to talk with girls from Seattle and a different state in New England. One girl (I feel bad that I don't remember which one!) told me about an academic program the Leos have to support girls who have the same major, which really impressed me. I didn't feel the same spark that I did with some of the other groups, but I would still be really happy to go back here.

The last group of the night was Pisces. I was thrilled with how much I liked them! A girl with family from MY HOMETOWN came up to me because she saw my nametag and told me that she hadn't seen anyone from where I came from before, so I was super excited! She said that her entire family had gone to the local state school except for her, which I could relate with since most of my friends go to the same school. I had some great conversations with this group and really wanted to go back here.

After all the parties our Pi Chi tried to get on the internet to submit our rankings, but the wifi was so bad we had to sit outside on the steps of the stadium while she put them in because it was the only place she could get a signal. I listed:

Capricorn
Pisces
Libra
Scorpio
Cancer
Taurus
Gemini
Sagittarius
Virgo

1. Leo
2. Aquarius
3. Aries

I had a tough time deciding whether to put Virgo or Leo in my first backup spot, and I ended up switching Aquarius and Aries at the last second, but overall I felt really good about the past two nights. I'll let y'all know tomorrow morning where I'm going back to! Wish me luck!
