DAY 6
Today I was SO excited to FINALLY get the max number of houses back and the houses on this list made me feel so good! The pref parties I would be attending included:
Cotton Candy
Dreamsicle
Strawberry
Cotton Candy: I was so pleased to be called out by name (instead of the usual cattle call) by the spectactular woman who rushed me yesterday! All of the rusher said something along the lines of “I am so honored to welcome back [insert name here] to attend [insert sorority name here]’s preference party. I teared up when I was called. It just hit me: they wanted me just as bad as I did them! The entire mood of the party was serene. The conversations finally allowed us to express how bad we wanted each other! It was such a relief. After a conversation, the PNMs gathered to watch the ritual. This was by far my favorite round of recruitment because I really felt a part of the sisterhood. My rusher gave me a bracelet to wear during the ceremony to emphasize the fact. Different girls shared how this chapter had changed their lives. One girl even was elected the first female ever to be elected on SGA as a result of their sisterhood. I was crying. Then three girls sang a song about being never alone. I cried more. I wanted to be a part of this sisterhood so badly!! I didn’t want to leave!
Dreamsicle: This house was a major letdown after the impacting experience I felt at the last chapter. This party was really awkward because the PNMs were in heels, but the rushers were barefoot… We were given a flower to hold during the ceremony. Looking around during it, I didn’t see emotion on anyone’s face. I didn’t feel the sisterhood! My conversation after again felt forced and I really wasn’t having it. Of course I was grateful to be invited back, but something still didn’t feel right.
Strawberry: I was very happy to invited back here after a good conversation last time. I was rushed today by the same girl who gave me a house tour. We laughed a lot and talked about how sisterhood was all about the random things like impromptu trips to Wal-Mart! The ritual was very emotional. One girl talked about her cancer and how she never forgot about it until she was in Strawberry. There was singing too of course. I really liked that the ritual was presented “in the round” and we felt surrounded and supported by the ring of sisters all around us. I cried during this ceremony, but I couldn’t get cotton candy out of my head!
After a tough decision I decided to accept bids from:
1. Cotton Candy
2. Strawberry
