WHEW!!!
It's over! We made it through the first round!
Tonight was Philanthropy. It was the first year we've done a philanthropy party, so we were a little worried it wouldn't go well, but it ROCKED. We wore jeans, sneakers, and white shirts that said "There's No Excuse for Domestic Abuse" in purple writing. Purple balloons, a philanthropy table, and served hot chocolate (which the girls LOVED- different from the other juices and sodas, plus it was cold out
). For the craft we made bags with small toiletries for women in shelters- toothpaste, deodarant, tampons, shaving cream, etc. and tied them with purple ribbons to be donated to the House of Ruth.
Some high quality girls out there- met some that I absolutely ADORED, and of course some I wasn't too crazy about- but that's rush, it's what happens
. Word is that we were top on the girls' lists b/c our craft was a happy medium- some chapters had the girls write letters to NY firefighters or sick children, which they felt was a little too personal for a first party. But I think everyone overall did really well- we were all so pumped that it was finally here!
Funny note...after the parties, I walked out and some members from XYZ were standing in the hallways talking about how they hated rush. One girl ACTUALLY SAID "Ugh, I had this one girl who sucked. I told her I had a sexually transmitted disease and that she needed one to get into our sorority."
OH MY GOD.... who let this girl out of her cage??
I'll keep y'all posted... tomorrow goes ALL DAY!
Love
Maya
