Sisterhood Night
Just before I left to go to where the parties are held, I texted my Rho Chi to ask if no news was good news (I had been quite worried). And she texted back saying I had the same three parties! So I was very very happy when I showed up and saw on my schedule
Afrikaans
Italian
German
YAY!!! I said I would be ecstatic and I was!
So of course I went into my first party with a huge grin on.
Afrikaans: Things keep getting even more amazing with this group! I feel so drawn to this sorority (or women’s fraternity… who knows
). And today I’d had some good questions set up to ask sisters from each house, but I didn’t even get to use them here because the sister and I talked about all kinds of stuff the entire time. I really connected here today and the conversation flowed so well. I’ve never been bumped here which I feel like is a good thing. I continue to keep an open mind but I feel like this is the place. This one just feels right and even the other days the parties have gone by so fast and I haven’t wanted to leave. Today’s party was beautiful and when the sisters told their stories of what being an
Afrikaans meant to them, I really felt like this house could be my home. I love this house and I’m praying I get to come back for Prefs!!
Italian: I continue to have a great experience at this house. I consistently have good conversations with these girls. The sister I was paired with today was kind of shy, but I used some of those fabulous questions and she opened up a lot. She said that she’d heard a lot about me and that that was a good thing, which made me so happy!! I looked around at the girls I had talked to here and felt like I could really fit in.
Italian is a close second. The only thing is that I don’t feel so drawn to this group as I do to
Afrikaans, but I am still falling in love with
Italian.
German: Their party was beautiful today. I felt like I was really clicking with the first sister I talked to, but I would get bumped twice. While I enjoyed talking to the other two girls, I just didn’t feel that same I-don’t-know-what with them as with some of the other girls in this house. I looked around the room. I had really, really gotten along with some of these sisters and with others I just hadn’t clicked.
German was a pretty mixed bag. They are so diverse and have so many kinds of girls and while I think that’s a great thing, I think it’s why I have mixed feelings about them. I click with some and not with others. At this house, the first sister I talked to today said that she’d heard some amazing things about me from her sisters, and I was so happy that they liked me too. But while I liked them, after some thinking, I didn’t feel like it would come so easily to call all of them sisters as it would at
Afrikaans and
Italian.
It was kind of a hard decision to choose which one to rank low, but at the same time it wasn’t. I went with my heart and ranked

And although I’m really super hopeful about getting
Afrikaans back, I will continue to be grateful to get any houses back on my schedule.
