Ahhhhh how can my thoughts change so completely in just a few short minutes? I swear, this whole rush thing has got to be one of the biggest emotional rollercoaster times in my life!
Yesterday, I was having serious doubts about what I wanted to do... and I'm still not 100% sure, but I had a GREAT night tonight.
I went back to the same three groups as last night, because I didn't get dropped from any of those. I did not feel as bad about getting cut on the first night, because there were plenty of girls in my Rho Chi group that only got invited back to two tonight.
First I went to Group 2's party, and my opinion of them definitely improved. Tonight was skit night and their theme was "XYZ on Broadway". It was SOOO cute! I got to actually SEE and MEET a lot more of the sisters, and my earlier judgements proved to be falsely based on the people I had met before. I met a couple of girls in my major, and we spent a good chunk of time talking about that. It was also cool to be able to talk about NON-Greek stuff... just school and family and random stuff.
Next I went to Group 3... they didn't cut me like I thought they would! Their theme was "Planet ABC" and their entire room was decorated with movie posters and stars. As always, these girls seem really put-together, smart and classy and fun. I felt like all of the girls that I talked to last night remembered my face and name, and made sure to stop by and say hey. Everyone I have met here was really nice and I think they are a really impressive bunch. But... I still haven't changed my mind about living on their hall. I really like them but I feel like I am torturing myself, loving a group that I can't be in.
Finally I went to Group 1.... and I absolutely adore these girls! Not only did I talk to a few more new members, I got to chat with a lot of the girls I had talked to before, and I really feel like I click with them. Their skit was a conglomeration of popular TV programs (Friends, The Weakest Link, Golden Girls, MTV Diary, CMT) and it was not only cute, but informative. The girl who did the MTV Diary was talking about all her memories of the sorority (she's a senior now) and it was so touching. Then they sang a really sweet song and at least a couple of the girls were crying and it just made me tear up. These girls are known for being ladies around campus, and I feel like they have really shown me their close bond with each other... even BEFORE pref night.
I had a really great evening tonight, and I am looking forward to Preference Night tomorrow... I know Group 1 is my first choice, but I will have to think about whether I'm gonna go ahead and go to 3's party, or go to Group 2 instead. I guess that just depends on if I get cut from any
As always, I'll keep ya updated!
