I think it helps that I'm still connected to the collegiate chapter - every time Recruitment comes around it brings back memories.

On with the story...

Day 6 - Skit Day
Bengals - I was more and more in love with this chapter and thought their skit was so cute. It was Grease themed and I thought it very funny. I saw the A-Rod girl from the day before who seemed really happy to see me. I spoke with a senior at this chapter who was the first person I didn't click with as much, but I didn't dislike her. I remember being so tired when I came to the Bengal house, but I relaxed a bit because this place just felt like home. I had such a fun time and couldn't wait to come back for Preference.

Patriots – Most other chapters did skits this round, but this chapter did a slideshow set to music. I really liked it because you could see all the activities this chapter had done the previous year, and how bonded the girls were. Again I clicked with the girl I talked to and thought "hey, I could really fit in here".

Packers - this chapter's skit was cute. It was also sort of Grease themed and was funny, but I didn't feel a connection as much here as at the other chapters. They sang this Coke song that got stuck in my head though.

Bears - This chapter was okay, but I still really wasn't clicking with the girls. Thought I don't remember what their skit was, I do remember not being that impressed with it. The girls seemed nice, but awkward. (I have to confess that some of my impressions from this chapter were a result of the tent talk that was going on, which looking back I’m disappointed that I listened to it as the girls were friendly and welcoming.)

Eagles - I really liked this house, but I was picked up by the girl who I didn't click with from the prior round. I was surprised and hoped that things would go better today. The skit the girls presented was really funny and cute, but I wasn't sure if I had clicked enough with that girl and felt it would hurt my chances of becoming an Eagle.

At this point I was really close with one of my Rho Chi's and would hang out with her when I had breaks. She asked me what my top three houses were, and I said Bengals, Eagles, and Patriots. She said she thought those were all good houses, which I was glad about. I secretly hoped I would end up in the same house as her because she was so fun and cool.

Next up...invites for Preference.
