lilms_edelweiss' formal recruitment story 2009

Day 1 Part 2
Next we were off to Beyonce. I also loved Beyonce’s house and all the girls stood outside with Lilly Pulitzer dresses; all different styles and color schemes. I was paired with a great Beyonce sister and I felt like we had a conversation that really flowed. I liked their color scheme and mascot and I thought they had a really cute pin. I felt good at Beyonce and was really hoping I would get to come back the next day!

After Beyonce we were off to visit Keri Hilson. Keri Hilson is a well known chapter at my university where many of their sisters are highly involved in other organizations. Keri Hilson had a small house but it was very cute. The women of Keri Hilson sang us a song and then led us into the house. I was paired with a very sweet Keri Hilson but we got off topic and before we knew it the party was over! I realized that I hadn’t really learned a thing about Keri Hilson’s chapter at the university. I left this house with sort of mixed feelings.

Nearing the end of the day, our next visit was to Shakira. I had heard many negative things about Shakira’s reputation on campus but I let those rumors slide because I had a classmate last year who was a Shakira and she was sweet and intelligent. Shakira seemed to be well put together and in this house I was also double-rushed. The sister I was talking to was very laid back but again I found myself competing with a PNM during the conversation. I guess I was just too shy but I didn’t want to come off as rude! I left this house with mixed feelings as well; I felt like I probably wasn’t going to be asked back.

The last (but not least) house was Kelly Clarkson. When we arrived at Kelly Clarkson everyone gasped! They definitely had the prettiest house on campus! We walked up the sidewalk and into the house where we were paired with a sister. We did a quick tour of the bottom floor of the house and then sat down to chit chat. I had a great conversation with Kelly Clarkson and was hoping to return the next day!

At the end of the day it was time to drop/save. We were to pick 7 sororities that we would want to return to and drop 2 that we didn't want to go back to (and rank those two).

My picks to keep were:
Taylor Swift
Katy Perry
Lady Gaga
Jordin Sparks
Beyonce
Shakira
Kelly Clarkson

and I decided to drop:
1. Miley Cyrus
2. Keri Hilson

I felt that out of all the sororities, those two were the ones I had the least connection with.

So after such a long day we were all so exhausted! I went to bed early that night so that I could wake up early again the next day and be ready for round 2! I was so nervous that night; I was hoping that I wouldn’t be cut from everyone. I definitely had the worst case scenario on my mind!
So did I go back to any houses the next day? Stay tuned to find out!
