The next round we could have up to five houses, but I only had four: Belle, Tiana, Ariel and Mulan. I was so excited to have Mulan on the list still, and the others I was willing to look at again, though I admit I was sort of focused on Mulan. The others to me were just places to visit until I finally made it home. Having only four seemed like a good thing at that point, because I knew exactly where I was going and it meant wasting less time to get there.
I got to start at my favorite house, and was once again blown away. We did a craft for the philanthropy and it was really cute and the girls I spoke with were so genuine and sweet. They all seemed so beautiful in their cocktail dresses and heels and so put together and I wanted to be a part of that group more than anything else. It was my top pick before I even looked at Tiana and Belle again.
Ariel was fun and everything, but the girls were wearing super preppy, super girlie outfits and I had no idea if I’d fit in with them if that was what they liked to wear. I was able to joke about wearing kids sized clothing with the girl rushing me, but I knew it wasn’t for me.
Tiana was good; I talked to a girl who had rushed me earlier in the week and we got along pretty well, but I still didn’t feel any real click. I liked the craft we did and the philanthropy they supported. The girls here were so nice and everything, but there was just something telling me it wasn’t it.
At Belle, I was so surprised. Their philanthropy was a cause close to my heart and I was rushed by the same girl who had rushed me the day before. We joked about how we were going to light our heels on fire at the end of rush and we talked so much that I never even started on the craft. Another girl joined our conversation and even though it was obvious she wasn’t close to the girl rushing me, it was so cool to see them interact. You could tell they loved each other and cared so much about the other even though one was a senior and the other was a sophomore and they might not have been super tight. I mentioned this and the first girl told me about how even though it’s a big sorority, the girls are close and even if you aren’t, if you need a friendly face on campus and you see a girl wearing her letters, you’re automatically best friends. They sit together in classes on the first day and eat together so no one feels awkward and I just loved that about Belle. This round certainly gave me a new perspective on the sorority.
I knew I was getting rid of Ariel as I narrowed it down to two, and that Mulan would be my first choice, and Belle was my second. I went to bed that night envisioning going to pref night at Belle and Mulan and then getting my bid from Mulan. It was perfect, at least in my head.
