Round 3 — Philanthropy
I got my schedule back and it was the same as the previous day. Other girls in my Rho Gamma group also had 3 or 4 on this day.
At Newfoundland, I was paired with the same awkward girl that I talked to on the first day. While she seemed sweet, neither of us could find anything to talk about, and the conversation was like pulling teeth. Painfully awkward, and it lasted for way too long (like half the round). They also sang a very... off-putting song. Most other chapters were still doing chants or hyped-up rah-rah songs, but Newfoundland had picked a slow, high-pitched lullaby-type song for this day. It was hard to jump back into an upbeat conversation after being surrounded by girls singing in slow, whispery falsetto. I knew this wasn’t the chapter for me.
I loved the girl I talked to in Labrador. She was the same major as me and we hit it off immediately, she matched my energy perfectly and we “got” each other right away. Time flew by! My major’s not super common so it struck me that they had probably matched me with her intentionally, which I thought was really sweet and thoughtful for them to do. Unfortunately I was paired with another PNM who wasn’t really on the same wavelength as us and I felt really guilty about not being able to include her in the conversation more. I also couldn’t shake the thought that this was the first memorable or truly enjoyable conversation I’d had in Labrador so far during recruitment, which worried me.
At Great Dane I got to talk to the same girl that I had met previously, though we sat together in a big group with other actives and PNMs. I remember talking about the Bachelor, joking about Vine, and just having a good time chatting with everyone in the circle. My high school acquaintance was recruiting that day, and she stopped by to say hi, which was sweet! I had previously conveyed to her that I really liked her chapter and I got the sense that they liked me too. I felt so, so confident that I would be a Great Dane.
At the end of this day, I ranked the chapters the same as I had the day before:
Great Dane
Labrador
