Day 3- Philanthropy
Back at home after philanthropy, my hall was a little more tense, Roommate had been cut from Bones, Friends , and Sex and the City before philanthropy. All of which she had good friends in and was very offended. I kept telling her that everything would work out but she wasn’t having it. She only had one “top tier” left, Say Yes to the Dress. And she was claiming that if that didn’t work out, she was done. She said she was so surprised at the great time she had at 30 Rock and Law and Order
and maybe even The O.C.. But didn’t seem to be willing to give them a chance…
[b]Hallmate had been cut from Bones as well and her top interests she was keeping to herself. I figured she really liked The O.C., Lost, and Sex and the City. But I wasn’t sure. It was still possible that some of us could end up sisters!
I was even more nervous for this day because I knew my decisions were gonna start getting harder and harder. My favorite from Philanthropy was definitely Friends , but I was definitely hoping to go back to my other tops as well. I also figured my opinions would be changing a lot today because parties were getting more intimate and serious. I was definitely excited.
When I got to the house to pick up my party list I saw so many freakouts! I was so scared. Girls everywhere were crying I felt like NO ONE was happy! When I finally got my party list, it read:
1. Grey’s Anatomy
2. Psych
3. Sex and the City
4. The O.C.
5. Say Yes to the Dress
6. Parks and Recreation
I was pretty disappointed to see that my favorite, Friends was not on the list. I felt like everytime I got a new favorite, they would cut me! I was pretty scared. Definitely not heartbroken that I’d lost them like I was with Bones. Now I realized that I would just find a new favorite.
Grey’s Anatomy was my first house. I wasn’t too excited to go back here because it really just wasn’t clicking. The girl I talked to today I actually had a pretty good time with. She was cool and funny but she was really the only one I had gotten along with so far. Once I got a new girl to talk to, I just sort of found myself out of stories to tell.
Psych was next. I had always found this house really visually pleasing. Their decorations were always fantastic! But they were a very new chapter on campus and because of that they really were kind of untraditional which I didn’t really like. (I’d explain more but that might give me away?) Also I just felt like they were a little too much for me. They weren’t intimidating girls or anything, it was just that everything was a song. everything was a cheer. everything had glitter or feathers on it. It just wasn’t me at all. It was just too overwhelming.
Sex and the City felt like a breath of fresh air. They had cool decorations but it wasn’t too much. They were enthusiastic, but not too much. I talked to a few girls that I had earlier during recruitment and they were great. Their sisterhood thing was really moving, but also funny and cool. I was a little intimidated by these girls, and frankly surprised that they kept inviting me back. But I was glad to be there and was really enjoying it.
The O.C. was next. Again I was super comfortable here and being really silly. I felt like I hadn’t really taken this chapter seriously until this night. I really had had a great time here all week. Everyone seemed to be a lot like me and I enjoyed being here. I knew I would really consider this chapter tonight when ranking. They really were a contender.
Say Yes to the Dress was next. I talked to three or four girls. Some I knew from previous events, some I didn’t. I laughed the whole time (again.) they really were funny and chill. I had such a good time. They really seemed interested in me and I was starting to really like them a lot. They’re house was really beautiful and the girls I had spoken to seemed really cool. I really liked this house. My new favorite for sure.
Parks and Recreation was next, and I can honestly say that the upcoming story is to this day the weirdest thing that has every happened to me during recruitment. I was talking to my first girl about the dorm I lived in and how everyone really got along. She had some majorrrrrr drama with roommates her freshman year so she had a lot of stories. Some of them were a little scandalous for recruitment, but I wasn’t offended and they were funny so I wasn’t gonna make an issue out of it. Then when the next girl came to talk to me, it happened, “Hi, Sally sister! This is theGOODDDlife. We were just talking about crazy roommates!” she immediately said “well how perfect! Have I got some f**king stories for you!” ooooof. I was a little shocked but I quickly moved on. But I definitely had a feeling that she was a little rough around the edges. She proceeded to tell me some really inappropriate story about her roommate freshman year and how she would get mad because Sally Sister would come home drunk, when really roommate was just jealous because she had no friends. And then once sally sister walked in on roommate doing certain things with a boyfriend and the two got in a physical fight right then and there. She ended the story with how roommate ended up suing her for God only knows what and then literally called her the c-word. Which I found extremely awkward. Now I’m in college. I’m not stupid and I realize people talk like that. I’m not gonna sit here and act like she’s trash and I’m better than here. But recruitment reeeeeeally wasn’t the place for that. I was offended or anything I was just a little uncomfortable. The whole story I just found super funny, but I was definitely no longer the least bit interested in this chapter (no matter how unfair it is to them really. I couldn’t help it!)
This time, I had a pretty clear vision of exactly what I wanted to rank. The next night was pref, where we could attend a max of 3 parties! I ranked:
1. Say Yes to the Dress
2. Sex and the City
3. The O.C.
4. Grey’s Anatomy
5. Psych
6. Parks and Recreation
