Sorry about the wait guys! Life caught up with me... But here's day 2!
Today was an afternoon day- this was because a required event for freshman orientation occurred that evening. Since this was skit day, it actually worked out quite well as a tea- sort of event. The dress was Sunday dress- I chose to wear a pretty wrap dress that hits me in all the right places- in other words, a great dress. I felt confident about invites back to Nessarose and Elphaba- Glinda, I wasn’t so sure about.
After getting back in our giant alphabetical line, we received our invites.
Mine said:
Break | Elphaba | Nessarose
No invite back for Glinda for me. I was slightly disappointed, but quickly got over it- as a nerves attack came back. What if I didn’t do well conversing with the sisters today? Would I still like these girls? All these “what ifs” came back into my brain.
Before the first groups left, I found out Darcy’s list- she got invites back to all three houses. I told her I was slightly jealous, but we had discussed my strong feelings about Glinda the night before. She told me that it was probably all for the best. I don’t know what Amanda and Betty’s invites were for that party.
After another session of awkward conversation with my fellow PNMs (we were all nervous!), it was time to go to the party at Elphaba! I was very excited to go in here, after the great experience I had had the day before.
Elphaba: Tonight, we were seated at tables with our active. I really don’t remember many specifics about the conversation. What I do remember is that she reminded me of a girl I knew in high school. She was outgoing, talkative, sweet, and funny. We talked about some of the famed alumni of this sorority. In fact, two of those alums (who I greatly admired) were from this chapter! This was so awesome to me, as I’ve always admired these two women. They then did their skit. It was the “progression” of going through recruitment, to initiation, to senior year. Skits at my school are not full out Broadway-style productions, as the sororities don’t have the resources to do anything like that. But it was super cute, and I loved the humor and style of it. We also talked about their philanthropies- they have a chapter philanthropy as well as their nationals’ philanthropy. The story behind the chapter’s philanthropy was very touching, and lovely. This was just a good party, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also made this connection with this sister- it was the thought that “I could see myself calling her sister.” It was just such a good talk. I loved this party.
Then, the Nessarose party.
Nessarose: This party was decorated beautifully. There was nice china, beautiful centerpieces, nice wall hangings- it was just gorgeous! I was once again double rushed here, but it wasn’t that big a deal for me. This was also a sit down party, and it really was a tea party! It was Alice-in-Wonderland themed, and super cute! I love tea, so I was happy as a clam. I remember discussing my schedule with my active, and life- we actually didn’t discuss too much sorority stuff. We discussed life. She was really nice, very sweet. After I mentioned my major, she pointed out another girl who shared my major in the skit. The skit was the story of Alice in Wonderland, but with Nessarose put in all over it. I don’t remember much conversation (this seems to be the theme of this day!), but it was fine. As I was going through, I felt like I was getting more of a feel for this chapter. They were very sweet girls, who were overall very diverse. There was no way to put these girls into a single class. It was nice.
Ranking today was super easy:
1. Elphaba
2. Nessarose
