Sorry for the long delay! I’ve been quite busy! Ok so on with my story…
After Bali, I went to Oahu! This is where the rain REALLY started to come down. All the girls were huddled underneath the side of the house trying to stay dry. It was not pleasant! Finally we were let inside the house and an Oahu girl took me and another girl into this room to talk to us. Within the first 10 seconds of talking I found out that the other girl was a legacy to this sorority (her sister is still an active in the chapter) so the Oahu focused all of her attention on this girl and all they talked about was her sister. I seriously think the Oahu forgot I was there, I was so turned off at this point by this girl and her sorority I just wanted to leave. She was making no effort to get to know me, not to mention her makeup looked like she went out and partied the night before and hadn’t done anything to fix it. I was so happy to get out of there when time was up. I talked to my friend Courtney about the Oahu’s later and my experience there and she told me she had a bad experience too. Apparently the girl she got asked her the same question (So where are you from?) 3 times over the 25 minute period. Needless to say these girls didn’t seem like the brightest.
The next house I went to was Nantucket! This sorority was quite small compared to the other ones so there was sometimes one girl talking to 3 rushees at the same time so it was hard to get personal one on one time. The girls I met here all seemed really awkward and sort of “disinterested” which turned me off. I also had to go to the bathroom really bad at this point so I spent 10 minutes of the time waiting in line for a stall to open up. I wasn’t too sure about the Nantuckets so I was eager to get to the next house.
My next house was St. Lucia! All the girls I met were VERY enthusiastic about being a St. Lucia, they all seemed to really like their sorority. This was a nice change from the Nantuckets. One girl I remember meeting was SO hyper and bubbly I don’t think I’ll forget her! I was starting to get tired though by this point so I was happy to move onto the next house even though I liked all the girls I had met at St. Lucia.
My next house (and second to last!) was Maui! The first girl I talked to was actually the president of Maui. She was very informative about everything Maui was involved in and our conversation flowed nicely. The rest of the girls I talked to were also very sweet and outgoing, which I liked. After the 25 minutes was up though, instead of moving onto our final house we had to wait inside Maui’s foyer for a good 15 minutes because apparently the weather was too horrible outside for us to leave! You could hear the rain pounding on the windows…I really hoped they didn’t make us leave until it stopped! Finally, it seemed to let up a little bit so our Rho Gammas all told us to make a mad dash for our last and final house, Bermuda! I remember sprinting all the way from Maui to Bermuda and it was still drizzling at this point and totally dark outside so you couldn’t see where any puddles were, so needless to say I was soaked by the time I got to Bermuda!
Instead of wasting time learning the chant for Bermuda they let us go in without the chanting and singing. I remember looking around the room and seeing all the girls’ hair and outfits messed up from the rain so I was glad I wasn’t the only one! The girl I talked to at Bermuda I really connected with and we had a lot in common. I remember having to almost scream though to talk to her because it was SO loud inside their house. I was glad I ended up having a good experience though at my last house despite everything the weather had caused!
After the 25 minutes was up, our Rho Gammas told us to list in order our top 10. They told us that the next day our list would be cut down to 7 so we had to put the 3 we liked the least on the bottom. My list looked like this at the end of the day:
1. Bali
2. Barbados
3. Capri
4. Bermuda
5. Kiawah
6. Maui
7. St. Lucia
8. Oahu
9. Sicily
10. Nantucket
The next day was supposed to be Philanthropy Day, but it ended up getting canceled because of the menacing Hurricane Fay! So they told us that rush would resume in two days and be a combined Philanthropy/Video Day. I couldn’t wait to return to rush and see what houses had asked me back…hopefully I got a full list of 7!
Anyways, hope you guys like my story so far, I’ll try not to slack on the updating!
