An SOA recruitement story

Even though I am a non traditional student and thought Id stick out, I figured to go through recruitement anyways. Our school has 8 sororities And since I am obsessed with Sons of Anarchy and am writing this while the season premiere is on then I will coincide the names on the show...

Gemma
Clay
Juice
Opie
Unser
Tara
Jax
Chibbs

Well our school doesnt have sorority houses so we do our recruitemnt in one of the buildings on campus. They hold 3 information sessions the 2 weeks before recruitemnt. You have to attend atleast 1 of these seesions. At this session they gave us a paper with information from all the sororities on it from their philanthropy to how much dues are. This was very helpful. next we went into a room where all 8 sororities were there each with 5 girls and at different stations. we seperated into groups and they let us speak with each sorroity for 5 min each. This was nice to get to quickly know each sorroity and what they were all about but with so many people talking in one room it was very hard to hear.
We were told that if we did everything correctly you will most liekly get a bid. there were about 400 girls going through recruitemnt. they said its the most they ever had, almost double last year.

The first night is Philanthropy, Second-Skit, Third-Pref, and Fourth-Bid Day...

The first night we visited all 8. My groups first was Chibbs. I was a bit nervous and didnt know what to expect with the first sorority. The clapping and chanting knocked me back a bit. The girl who walked me in actually was from my area at home. They were all very friendly and loved everyone i met. i got to actually talk to about 5 or 6 people here so it was nice to get a better understanding of more than just one person.

Second -Unser- they doubled us up in this room so it was hard to get in talk time. I was a bit more talkative than my partner which I felt bad about. I talked with like 3 people here and they were all friendly.

Third- Clay- This one I walked in not having the best thought about bc all their girls on the night of info sessions seemed so oppisite me but I thought Id keep an open mind. They seemed to be all blondes almost. it caight me of gaurd. They were all very energetic and outgoing. I loved the girl i first walked in with but everyone else I seemed not to gel with.

Fourth- Gemma- This house I seemed not to really connect with any one i talked to. I actually felt awkward here. We were also paired with another person here and she seemed to hog the convo so again that felt weird.

Fifth- Tara- Everyone here felt so diverse and down to earth. I I liked everyone i talked to. dont really rememeber much about this room.

Sixth-Jax-I absolutely loved this house. the people were alot like me and so diverse and lots of different people but all so nice and down to earth. there wasnt like one stereotype here which i loved. the sisster who walked me in and 2 other sisters were actually from like 5 min away from where i live at home.

Seventh-Juice-everyone was nice and outgoing but i seemed not to click with many here. the one who walked me in we talked alot but the rest not so much

And Last-Opie- My friend actually joined this one at a different school so I knew a little about the sorority itself. But wehn I walked in I dindt think Id love it as much as I did. The girl the walked me in, we ended up talkin the whole time just about everything. I dont know if that hurt me bc i didnt me any others, but our personalitys clicked right away.

After the first night I ranked them
1. Jax
1. Opie
1. Tara
1. Chibbs
1. Unser
2. Juice
3. Gemma
4. Clay
