A (Live) recruitment fit for a princess :)

[livelaughluv]

Hey! As I've been preparing for recruitment I've read a lot of the advice on here and it's all been so helpful. Recruitment for me starts on sunday so I decided I would share my story with all of you, hopefully it's a happy one I go to a school with a big focus on greek life and very competitive deferred recruitment. If you think at any point you know which one, pm me but please don't post it here as I don't want anything I say here to ruin my chances at any house you never know what people will look up during the week!

I've decided to name the houses after disney princesses/characters because that's what I hope for sorority life to be--a happy ever after! haha corny but true
There are 10 NPC GLO's
Cinderella
Belle
Ariel
Sleeping Beauty
Pocahontas
Jasmine
Nala
Alice
Mulan
Esmeralda

I'll let you know how it goes starting sunday!

First round is over! It was crazy and busy and cold and exhausting but a lot of fun. In no partcular order, here's how the houses were:

Cinderella: This house was very high energy and the first girl I talked to had the same name as me, but there were points in the conversation that felt fake and forced to the point where i literally could not think of anything to keep it going, and when another girl came over, the two of them talked to each other more than to me. I was impressed by the number of activities these girls do though.

Belle: This house was one of my favorites from what I had learned first semester, and first round was also a blast! The girls were really sweet and friendly, and their energy really helped make it fun This is definitely one of my favorites!

Ariel: This house was my absolute favorite going in to the day, and first round didn't disappoint. All of the girls seemed very genuinely friendly and I got to ask them about their chapter activities and sisterhood events which they seemed very excited to talk about. The time went so quickly at this house!

Sleeping Beauty: This house has the reputation of being the awkward house, and i kind of got that vibe last semester, but the girl i talked to was very nice, though a little bit shy. I was doubled up with another girl and I feel like we ended up talking more to each other than to the sister, but the conversation felt relatively relaxed.

Pocahontas: This house really surprised me. I hadn't been extremely interested before, but their sisterhood presentation was awesome and the conversation I had was like one I would have with a really good friend. The girls I talked to seemed very interested in what I was saying, and I found a lot in common with these girls. I really could see myself becoming friends with these girls, and I left loving the house.

Jasmine: This house was just okay for me. I had some decent conversations, but they kept moving us between rooms and bumping quite a bit, so I didn't really stay in any one place with any one girl for long. I ended up talking about my home state more than anything else, but maybe I was just tired since it was my last round of the day.

Nala: I. Loved. This. House. The girls I talked to were so nice and sociable, and we got to talk about tv shows and classes and majors but in a rally natural and exciting way. There was not a single dull moment of conversation, and their presentation really showed their strong sisterhood. I did not want to leave this house!

Alice: I didn't like this house as much as I thought I would. I know a couple girls in this house who are really nice, but I didn't see any of them. Their sisterhood presentation was really cool and seemed so genuine, but my conversations were very cookie-cutter and forced, and the girl I was matched up with barely let me ask any questions.

Mulan: This house was not nearly as awkward as i expected. The presentation was adorable and the girl who picked me up and I talked about disney (ironic, no?). We had a lot in common and the other girls I met were really nice, though kind of loud, but the conversations weren't quite as good as the first ones. I still wasn't sure if I could see myself in this house.

Esmeralda: This house was one of my favorites before the round, but my conversations were just okay. I think the problem was that their very obvious bumping (every girl used the same phrase) distracted me from the conversation and prolonged the subjects until i was beating them to death. Still, the girls were very nice and I did like this house.

at the end of the day we had to pick 7 we love, and then rank the remaining 3 in order of preference.
Love:
Cinderella
Belle
Ariel
Esmeralda
Nala
Jasmine
Pocahontas

Like:
1.Alice

3.Sleeping Beauty

We'll see what happens!
