Hey everyone!! Sorry I didn't have time to get on this afternoon and update on my invites, but I will now! I went to pick up my bids this morning, and I got invited back to all 4 parties!! I was pretty excited about that. Most people just get cut after the first round because of GPA. But still, it was good to know that I hadn't made a complete idiot out of myself in the first night.
Anyways, on to tonight. My first party tonight was with Zeta Tau Alpha. I had fun in there and met some really sweet girls. We made these little pillows for breast cancer patients. They were so cute. They were pink and white plaid on the back and the front was white with a pink ribbon. I could tell with one of my rushees just how much that foundation meant to her. It was touching. I met different girls than I did last night, and felt pretty at ease.
My second party was with Alpha Delta Pi. In that party we made these little courage puppets to give to children at the Ronald McDonald House in Birmingham. I have done a lot of work with the Ronald McDonald house in Nashville during high school so it was really interesting to get to see how they helped the same organization. The conversations were good in this room to and I felt relatively relaxed.
My third party was Phi Mu. I have a few really close friends in Phi Mu and one of them rushed me last night and one rushed me tonight. But tonight we didn't catch up on summer vacations like last night, we really talked about the organization. The girls in that room were so friendly and sweet. It was so nice. We made these little felt lady bugs to give to kids at a hospital in Birmingham also. They were so cute.
My last party tonight was with Alpha Gamma Delta. I felt even more comfortable in there tonight than I did last night. I was full of nerves when I walked into the room and once I started talking to my rushee the nerves were completely gone. It was so unbelievable. I had such a good time. All of the girls were coming up to me and were like I'm so glad to see you back. And things like I don't know if you remember me from last night but it is wonderful to see you again. I had real conversations with these girls not necessarily the other typical party convos. It was so amazing. We made little giftbags of candy to promote Diabetes in their room.
All in all it was a completely wonderful night. I felt so at home in 2 of the sororities and I felt pretty good in the other 2. I pick up my invites tomorrow at 12:00 again. I can be invited to all 4 parties but I can only attend 3. So, we will see what happens tomorrow!!! I will definantly post tomorrow afternoon before I go to the parties tomorrow night to tell ya'll which sororities I got invites from and everything!! I can't wait until tomorrow!!!
