Just got back from my informational. I definitely felt a little out of place being one of the few sophomores rushing. But, I quickly started talking to a few girls next to me while we waited for everyone to come in. Apparently the two freshman girls I started talking to were way into TooFaced and Wet N Wild. They had a friend from a nearby college who was in TooFaced and had also wanted Wet N Wild and assumed because she was for them that all chapters were the same and they would be good for them too. And what’s worse is that they kept messing up the names of these chapters. Which I understand how it can be confusing but they seriously believed they were experts. They wouldn’t hear any of my attempts of telling them to keep an open mind. They were dead set that TooFaced was the best chapter on campus.
In reality I wanted to disagree with them. Neither chapter is that great in my eyes. I was always set off by how… shallow a lot of the TooFaced girls seemed in classes that I had with a group of them. And Wet N Wild is pretty much all parties (well at least that was the reason why a hall mate of mine said she joined them last year). Which yeah might be great for these girls, but I had my eye on some of the more well rounded chapters on campus. Namely Covergirl and Revlon. But, I didn’t want to correct them (Which yeah I know what right for me won’t be right for them. But I just felt really compelled to say my views were right. Thank goodness I didn’t.) and join in on their tent talk. So, I focused on talking to one who was in my computer class about an upcoming assignment until the presentation started.
As it ends up most of my Gamma Chi group seem to be fellow sophomores and a lot of transfer students. So, I was relieved that I wasn’t one of three upperclassmen, I was one of twenty. So, my chances of getting into any sorority seemed a bit better. I haven’t really gotten a chance to really meet the girls in my Gamma Chi group since everything was really fast paced. But, I plan on arriving to check in a little early before the first rounds of parties to actually talk to some of them.
