Once again, tonight was confusing to me. I am beginning to think that maybe I am just not "meant to be" rushing this week.
It was really hard for me because NO ONE else in my group got dropped from Group 5, the first house. So basically I just got to hang out with my Rho Chis (who are nice but it was still awkward and unfun).
Then we went to Group 1, who are now definitely my favorite. They seemed a lot more laidback tonight, and I really like their philanthropy. We made the cutest craft! Every girl I met, I asked them, why did you pick XYZ?... and every single answer was awesome. They were all different but equally touching.
Next we went to our financial meeting, which was worked in as a separate party with the financial advisors from each chapter. I don't know what happened to our group but everyone was completely BLAH... maybe we just didn't have any questions to ask? All of the fees are around the same but OF COURSE the chapter I like the best does not include formals and semi-formals in their chapter dues... MORE money to spend lol.
After that, we were SUPPOSED to be at Group 2's party, but we stood outside the wrong building (I don't know why, the Rho Chis got confused maybe?) and then had to RUN across campus to the right party. This party... I just don't like these girls. I can't put my finger on what it is about them, but I REALLY REALLY don't like staying with one girl the whole time. All the other chapters, I have met at least 5 girls, and from this one, I've talked to two... and I don't really know if they are a correct representation of the whole group, you know? Plus they sang Garth Brooks' "The River" while we all held hands but they sang the WHOLE song, every verse. It just got old. PLUS their philanthropy isn't local, so all they do is raise money... they don't get to actually do any community service. Haha can you tell I don't like this group? I think they will invite me back though...
Next we went back to Group 3. I really like this group but I am almost positive that they are not gonna invite me back. They are smart, they are sweet, they have an awesome philanthropy... but they require three semesters' residence on their hall, and the girl told me that they only make exceptions in EXTREME circumstances (which does not include leases). She told me as I was walking out the door, "If you want it bad enough, you'll make it happen." Which is probably true but I am thinking that maybe I don't want it bad enough to give up my stove, private bathroom, and big-girl bed. SOOOOO I doubt they are gonna invite me.
The last group was Group 4, the other group I got cut from... and I must say that I was happy to be able to leave early! I am so tired.
So that's my situation... I am starting to doubt that sorority life is really for me. I am pretty much thinking that if I get dropped from Group 1, I am not gonna go back tomorrow night. I really wanted to be in a sorority, but I think I am too late in my college years to be doing this... I like my apartment. But then again, I REALLY like Group 1, and I would be so happy to be a sister there. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated WHATEVER I decide to do
