Round 2!! Skit day!
I was super nervous to get my schedule! I knew from last year that the cuts can be pretty harsh, especially for upperclassmen. So I didn't want to get my hopes up too much, knowing that I could end up with only a few!
Anyway so FINALLY i met with Rosie, my RC, and received my schedule! I was invited back to:
Dexter
Dance Moms
DC Cupcakes
Gossip Girl
Duck Dynasty
Sex and the City
What Not to Wear
My Strange Addiction
The Middle
9 Houses! I was super excited. This round was split up into two days as well. The first day i went to the first 6, and the second day I went to the other 3.
Day One of Round 2!
First house of the day was Dexter. I was excited to come back here after my pleasant experience here the first round. Once again I had a very nice time here. I spoke to two girls who were both so sweet and friendly. I started to think this would be a house I'd like to end up in. Their skit was so funny, apparently one of the girls in the skit was a theater major. They all did a great job!
Next was Dance Moms. I was surprised that I got invited back here due to the fact that I was so out of it during round one! Regardless, I had a much better time of it here than during the first round. The girls I spoke to talked about how much being in their chapter has improved their lives, and what they've gotten out of their sisterhood. It was nice to hear. This skit was pretty generic, but still well done. I enjoyed it.
After that was DC Cupcakes. I wasn't surprised to come back here, but I wasn't upset about it either. Many girls were complaining about this house. Apparently some even were straight up rude to these girls, resulting in two girls getting released from recruitment due to their poor behavior. I can't imagine how those poor girls from DC Cupcakes must have felt. Anyway, I had another good conversation here, but despite that I still didn't feel like I really had a connection here. Unfortunately, their skit was kind of bad. None of the girls that weren't in the skit were cheering or clapping or anything, so their were a few awkward pauses.
Next was Gossip Girl. I was super happy to get to come back here! I was hoping for more great convos like in the first round, but unfortunately the girl that I spoke to today just didn't seem to be feeling it. She just asked generic questions about my major and what I did over the summer. Blah. This house's skit was amazing though. They did a great job with the acting, and they did a dance routine that was so good.
After that I went to Duck Dynasty. I was so happy to come back here! I had more awesome conversations with these girls. They seemed so down to earth and friendly. I felt comfortable here. During the skit however, I had another awkward moment (im on such a roll!). I saw a girl before the skit that I sort of know through a friend. She was waving, I thought at me, so I waved back. After though I realized that she was waving a sister standing behind me.... Oh. I sat through the skit feeling kind of weird, but overall I still had a good time here.
Last house of the day was Sex and the City. I felt kind of bleh at this house, I think I was just tired. I felt like I had to struggle to keep the conversation going. But their skit was good, and after it was over I was ready to finish off Round 2 the next day!!
~~day 2~~
I woke up excited to see all of these houses I had on my schedule for the day.
I started off with What Not to Wear, one of the "top" houses I spoke about earlier. I was surprised to be back here, but once again I had a great time here. Their skit was super funny and high energy, they seemed to be really into it. I saw the girl that rushed me the first day and she came up to say hi, which I thought was really nice.
Next was My Strange Addiction! Another "top" house, but this time I felt a little out of place here. The girl that rushed me was not very interested in me. The conversation was just not happening. Their skit was pretty generic too, nothing special or different, it just kind of felt like they were going through the motions.
The final house of the day was The Middle. This house blew me away. They had hands down the best skit out of all of them. So many girls participated in it, they all seemed SO pumped up, and they made it feel like this was without a doubt the best place to be. I was getting so into it! After the skit, I spoke to two girls. Both of them were so enthusiastic. As I left, one of the girls said "I hope to see you again!" which was nice, but I knew didn't necessarily mean anything. Still, I really hoped I'd get to come back here!
After that, we ranked our selections. Since we had a maximum of 12 to return to, and I only had 9, I could only drop 1 house since the next round was a maximum of 8. I decided to drop DC Cupcakes, but knew that it could very well be that I would return there for round 3, so again, didn't want to get my hopes up too much about anything! The next round was house tours, and I was so excited to be getting closer and closer to bid day!!
