Retro Recruitment

[dgdramadawg]

Alright, I have time, so I am posting this now. Big reveal tomorrow, though. Gotta keep you on your toes.

I got invites to events from the following chapters:
Margo Channing
Babe Williams
Dolly Levi
Cora Hooper

Because I am currently acting in one play and producing another, my rehearsal schedule conflicts with a lot of the events. I knew going in that I was not going to accept a bid for Cora Hooper, so now I have to consider the other three... and the one time that events are scheduled for that I can attend them happens to have events for Margo Channing, Babe Williams, AND Dolly Levi! This means that (a) I can only attend one recruitment event, which seriously worries me because I don't know if they will remember me after only one, and (b) I can only be recruited by one sorority, because obviously they won't extend a bid to a girl they have not met.

So I've got to take a good hard look at Margo, Babe, and Dolly and decide which group I will be calling to say "Sorry, I can only come to one event; I hope that's okay" and which groups I will be telling "Sorry, I can't make it to any events, but gosh-I-wish-I-could."

While I really liked DOLLY LEVI during recruitment, I still can't get over the fact that they cut me right before prefs. However, they are my mother's sorority and I feel a strong connection to them because of her. I also feel like I should have a loyalty to them because Babe Williams and Margo Channing both cut me after round two, but Dolly Levi kept me for round three. They also have the prettiest house.

During recruitment, MARGO CHANNING was a house I grew to like a lot more during round two (I ranked them seventh during round one, but first during round two). On the one hand, this was my top choice when they cut me, so I feel that I should definitely want to go back this time. On the other hand, I've only been there twice and the first time I didn't connect with them as much as Dolly Levi or Babe Williams, so there is always the chance that I might not like them as much this time... or I might like them just as much!

I liked BABE WILLIAMS equally each round that I saw them during recruitment... for round one they were right below Dolly Levi and right above Margo Channing and for round two they were third, below Margo Channing and above Dolly Levi. I feel like I can count on liking these girls just as much as I did during formal recruitment, whereas my opinions on the other chapters switched between rounds.

Well, I picked a chapter and decided to go for it. I attended the one event, which I had to leave early for a dress rehearsal. I walked in and was greeted by the freshman year roommate of one of my Kate Monster friends... she was a member of the chapter who pledged during formal recruitment my freshman year! I had an awesome time at the event... I even met two girls who were involved in theatre! I stayed talking to one of the girls for so long that I was almost late to rehearsal! On my way to rehearsal, I called a family member who is a member of this house to tell her that her sorority was definitely the perfect place for me and I hoped I would be getting a bid from her house when I stopped by Greek Life on Bid Day.

So.........

Was it DOLLY LEVI, which would make my mom a Delta Gamma? Did I give Dolly a second chance?
Was it MARGO CHANNING, which means I have another family member who is a DG? Did I go for my first choice from the first time around?
Or Was it BABE WILLIAMS, which means I have another family member who is a DG? Did I go for the chapter I knew I would definitely like just as much as I did the first time around?

Until tomorrow, ladies... feel free to place your bets.
