Day 2 - Philanthropy Night
Sally had been keeping in touch with me. I did not feel as if there were any conflicts with her talking to me as I am a DG and there is not a DG chapter on campus.
Sally was excited about going to Post Office and she was confident that she would have a great list of chapters to return to. Well....
Sally was invited back to Circle, Triangle and Trapezoid. She was stunned, shocked and upset. Why did she not get invited back to four houses? Why did two drop her? Why did one of her favorites drop her. Sally called me and was a bit teary. She and I discussed all of her options and that she had three options. If she wanted to go Greek (which she did) she needed to get her game face on and get going!
She went back to the dorm and got ready for the round of parties. She had a beautiful dress that she wore with tights and short boots. She curled her hair, fixed her makeup and she was ready! She called me after she was ready and I was really proud of her. She told me that she wanted to go Greek and that she would be happy at any house. Finally....starting to stop listening to the tent talk.
Circle - again, it felt like they were trying to hard to be "chill." They did not seem to be into their philanthropy and that bugged her. Not excited about returning.
Trapezoid - AGAIN FABULOUS! Beautiful girls, fun craft, great philanthropy. This time however, not as many girls came to talk to her. The conversations weren't as good as the previous night. Sigh...she was still feeling the tent talk and this was still her first choice.
Triangle - Conversations were good. She was comfortable, she had interesting conversations, the topics were good. However...she again listened to the tent talk and decided Triangle was not the one.
At the end of the night Sally had to choose two. She chose Trapezoid and Circle.
