Round 2: Philanthropy Round! The PNMs rank after their Round 1 parties and we get to see who is returning. Overall, KD is happy with our results. The chapter lost some of its rush crushes, but kept a bunch of PNMs that they really, really like. 1 round down, 3 to go.

Today is the hardest round for the chapter members. They are hosting ten parties. They are in party prep or parties from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm. KD has a membership selection meeting after the last party. The first day of classes are tomorrow, too. It’s exhausting and people are losing their voices. The stomach flu is still going around. One of our members has to be excused after she leaves a party to barf in the bathroom. Good times. The rush captain and MSS chair fortunately kept a small group of women in reserve as floaters. As people start to fade in the later parties, they substitute floaters in for people in the regular bump groups. Women are slumped over cushy chairs between parties because so many of them are sick. You wouldn't know it in the parties, though. They're up and happy and adorable.

Our chapter members do a pre-party warm-up so that they are up for the parties. They blast dance music and dance all that tiredness off. They clearly love each other and have found friends and sisters in starting this new chapter of KD. It’s awesome to see. The poor things have to do membership selection after the last round parties, though. I’m glad I’m an alumna, because all I want to do is go home and go to bed.

The party plan for today is much like yesterday. The collegians line-up to greet the PNMs. They talk to them in bump groups and then watch a brief video on philanthropy supplied by National Kappa Delta.

We had some feedback from some Rho Chis that yesterday's conversations were a little too "interview-ish" so the chapter is concentrating on being more relaxed and natural today.
