I just got back from my only skit party of today. I went to Delta Zeta this morning, and I was excited because first round I talked with this really amazing woman that was super nice and down to earth. Today was the same--I talked different girl, and she was such wonderful girl! Their house was decorated in a Hard Rock, 50's cafe theme and it was so cool because they had it accesorized down to every last thing. We drank Coke out of these mini Coca-Cola glasses that were so cute! Also, I liked their name tags, I think they were records, so it went well with the theme. Another girl and I talked with the woman about academics there, the sisterhood, living-in, and she said so many positive things about living in the house, and being on the board there. She seemed really involved and dedicated. I think that we really clicked! I asked her if she was a founder, and how that was. She said that it was great being a founder and that it was so exciting to get the opportunity to bring DZ back to Iowa. (They are a colony.) She also said that they get their chapter installation in November, so she is really excited that they were successful, and that Iowa's Greek System gets to expand and continue expanding. She also talked about how everyone in the house is in at least one other activity and that was important to me because if you are able to be involved in groups, service activities, leadership, then you should so I liked that. I also liked how they said that they work with all of the Greeks, and hang out, have fun, and the sisters always have someone there for them at the house. The skit was two women at the Delta Zeta Hard Rock, and they were looking at menus and looking to choose, however it was not food they were choosing, but sororities! Their waitress came (who did the Elle Wood's Legally Blonde walk, and the funy thing was that I saw her before and was like "She looks like Reese Witherspoon...") the waitress them served them water with huge lemons on it, and the girls were like "no more water garnished with fruit" and I thought that was so cute. Then the waitress said that the sorority would be clear to them, and they would know which one they wanted to join in their hearts. Then one of the girls got up said "In order to have good rush, you must be up to date on current events" and quoted the Clueless "Hatians coming to America" speech. I was impressed that she knew the whole thing, (although I know it too, I'm a movie dork
) Also the waitress came out and said that this thing has a 98% success rate in a sorority inviite--the Bend and Snap! and it was cute. Also the girls at the cafe were treated to a dance show, and the girls sung to Grease about DZ, they did SNL cheerleaders to DZ, and then all of the girls broke into song! It was so good, I could feel that all these women must really have a tight sisterhood, I liked it here. For the final song they did "Buttercup" by The Foundations but it was DZ words, and that was so cool because I love that song! They all had arms around each other and it was so together, when I left that house I thought to myself, "I love it here."
Yesterday I wore a strechy criss cross at the boobs shirt and black capris with black Franco Sarto toe strap sandals. Today I wore a black skirt that was above the knee, a tan/buff colored boatneck top, and a black 3/4th legnth cardigan with a wide open neck and then the same sandals as yesterday. I bought this aqua blue dress Monday for Friday, but it is kinda big so I am going to either take it back, or get it altered. There is this white strapless I liked so hopefully they won't have my size anymore so I don't *have* to get it!
Tonight is invites again at 8PM, and we rank for tomorrow. I still am keeping an open mind because I have a lot of time to spend at the houses still, and there are still philanthropy day and pref, were most people have said it all comes down to. Meanwhile I am going to try and hit the mall for some shoes for pref before the 3 opeb stores that are in the mall are sold out, otherwise I will have to take the city bus to another mall, which I don't want to have to do because I lately I have been getting bus sick.
But I will update you on my invitations, because tomorrow is philanthropy day, and we get to make a project at each house I have heard. Also it is sundress day, so my Rho Chi said that all the guys love this day or something.
Only three more days till Bid Day...
