Skit day/Round Two is today and tomorrow. Today I attended two parties, Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Delta Pi, and tomorrow I go to DZ.
ADPi's skit was amazing! I went there first and I had a great conversation with several girls. Yesterday I was a bit unsure about this house because one girl was kind of opinionated, but the girls I talked with today were so great! We talked about school and places to live, got into what music we listen to, stuff like that. I asked her about living in the house, when and why she rushed, and stuff like that. Their house was decorated in Broadway themes like Phantom of the Opera (one girl even painted the scenery and I had thought that was professionally done!) Everything was decorated and the theme was so coordinated with the house. We drank Shirley Temples there. For their skit they had a Broadway talent agency. They had some girls come out, one was a tough motorcycle girl, the other was a mom who yelled at her kids, one was a lounge singer, another was lady with a lisp, one was a touristy type person wearing like different clothing (ie sandals and socks) and waving flags with a gazillion cameras, she talked and then the make believe director asked if she acted and she goes "I do Legally Blonde" and did bend and snap, that was so hilarious, and I loved it, they also had some dancers/cheerleaders, who "won" the contest. Then they broke into song and were singing and clapping and it was really good, I could feel how close all of the sisters were to one another.
I also went to AZD and talked there to a girl. Two seconds after we entered it started to POUR! We had such an excellent conversation and we both had a lot in common. I talked with her about living in the house, about the history, philanthropy, academics and sisterhood. They have a really strong bond and have won a lot of awards in scholarship and Greek Week. We have the same tastes in music and she lives Dave, John Mayer, and we talked coffee since we both LOVE that. I told her about this coffee shop where I am from that lets you try anything, and has the most amazing variety, etc... and now she is like, where is this, I am going there! There skit was very nice. I liked how the room was set up, kind of like a lounge or a club where they have preformers. The tables were beautiful. They called it Club Xi and the first girls danced and really cool choreagraphed dance, the next girls wore gold and did Respect, and then a music/voice major came out and sung a wonderful version of "No Such Thing" by John Mayer, and I was really impressed how they sang. The girls said they know each other very well, and all go out together and such, the sisterhood there seemed really tight. They finished with "We Are Family" and had AZD lyrics and it was really cool.
After this I walked back to the meeting dorm, Burge, and my shoe broke. I sat in there talking to another girl that got cut pretty heavily, and we talked. Then this alarm went off, and it was so annoying. People were running out, and I was like what the heck, but I didn't move (too tired) so then like ten minutes later they are like "You have to get out, that's the fire alarm." So we did, and the fire guys came and we waited while they investigated a strange odor or something, and someone's dad was talking pictures of the firemen
then we got to go back in and went downtown to eat with our Rho Chi and Baldey's, this wrap place that is too good!!
Anyway, I wake up early for DZ, so I am so excited because I really liked it there the first round, after that I'm free after that until we get our next invites. I've got to go get a pair of shoes during the day for pref... What does everyone suggest, I want heels but not to formal/old fashioned and also not too casual. I think strappy maybe?
Until next time...
