Round 2- Sisterhood
Sisterhood was also broken into 2 days, we could get invited back to up to 6 chapters and I got asked back to my top 6! I was so excited, there were many girls who only got asked back to 1 or 2 and some who got none... so I was very blessed to get the chance to see these chapters again
1. Chicago Bears- The girls were very nice, I clicked well with the first girl I spoke with but has some awkwardness with some of the other.We did "speed dating" and I liked that because they had specific questions to ask us so our conversations had more of a direction. We watched their sisterhood video which was cute, they seem to have a lot of fun together and are involved on campus. Nothing really struck me though, I left feeling neutral.. They are not my first choice, but I wouldn't be upset to be with them either.
2. Miami Dolphins- I felt like they had a great sisterhood, I really clicked with the girls I spoke with and could tell they had a great sisterhood. At some points I felt like I was leading the conversation more then the girl rushing me which I wasn't sure was a good or bad thing. I did get the vibe I would have a lot of opportunity for leadership though, which I was excited about! Since they are newer on campus, they really had to do a lot of work and I admire that about them. I could see myself in here.
3. Green Bay Packers- I had such a wonderful time here. I just loved every girl I spoke to and felt they were so genuine. We talked a lot about values of the sorority and the importance they place on each member following them. I spoke with a lot of girls in exec positions and they seemed genuinely excited to have me back. The president was an absolute doll and was someone who I felt like I could look up to. Their sisterhood video was totally homemade and I loved that! These girls just exude class, I didn't want to leave this party.
4. Dallas Cowboys- I really like these girls, but I felt worried they didn't like me. The first girl I spoke with was really stand offish towards me, but then the second and third girls I spoke with I had a ton in common with and we had a great conversation. I got to speak with the new member educator which was awesome, she was really open with me about what the new member process would look like and I appreciate that. They had a great sisterhood video, but I didn't get as good of a sisterhood vibe as I did with other sororities. I was really tiered by the time I saw them, so I think that impacted my thinking too. I left longing to want to go back for pref round but I think it may be because they are a highly "ranked" sorority. I realized this and had to keep telling myself the rank does NOT matter... all that crazy stuff just gets in your head.
5.New England Patriots- The girls were nice but awkward. I was double rushed and could barely get a word in. I could just tell I would not fit in here, the girls seemed really shy and just not excited about anything. I wasn't moved by their sisterhood video, they all talked very softly and monotoned. The party seemed to drag. This is my last pick for sure.
6.New York Giants- Last Party of The Round!!! I really loved them, the first girl I talked to was a dance and dance teacher like me so we had tons to talk about. Their sisterhood video was great and I could just feel how much they loved each other. I felt accepted here and was able to be myself. I could have stayed and chatted all night. The last girl I talked to said I gave her chills when I told her what I really wanted from a sorority. I could see myself here, they are definitely tied with the packers for the top!
For ranking we had to put our bottom 3 and top 3. I ranked
1. Green Bay Packers
1. New York Giants
1. Dallas Cowboys
2. Miami Dolphins
3. Chicago Bears
4. New England Patriots
After I left and thought about it more, I felt kind of angry at myself for ranking the Cowboys above the Dolphins. It really came from a place of wanting to be asked back to the "popular" sorority even though I knew in my heart it wasn't the place for me.
