Hi everyone! So I don't know why I agreed to write this for my cousin "Abby" (name has been changed) when her recruitment was going on at the same time as BG's, but whatever. So without further ado, let's get started!
I will not say what college she goes to, but I will say it's not BG and not in Ohio. She also does not live in Ohio.
Her college has 18 sororities on campus.
The code will be characters from How I Met Your Mother, because it is her and I's very favorite show.
They are:
Robin
Ted
Barney
Marshall
Lily
Marvin
Stella
The Mother
Daughter
Son
Victoria
Patrice
Wendy the Waitress
Ranjit
Carl
Nora
Quinn
Zoey
Recruitment started this passed weekend. Friday was recruitment orientation and Saturday & Sunday she visited all 18 sororities. She got to go to their houses (but not tour yet, that was on Monday & Tuesday) and talk to some members.
First Round:
Robin - Loved their house! Thought the girls were nice but didn't know exactly what to think.
Ted - Said their house was cute but didn't know if she could see herself living there, but that might change on tour days. Was a tad intimidated by the girls though (she's a little shy).
Barney - Her roommate's sister was a Barney at her respective college so Abby knew quite a bit about them. She LOVED Barney. She clicked with everyone she talked to!
Marshall - Abby had a so-so experience here. She didn't tell me much about Marshall other than she felt really awkward there.
Lily - HOLY CRAP She couldn't stop talking about Lily!!! She loved their house so far, loved the girls, and loved hearing the stories about their sisterhood. She didn't want to leave!
Marvin - Abby is a legacy to this house, but the member we're related to is not anyone we're really close to, so she didn't feel pressured to be a Marvin. She liked the girls, but didn't feel a huge connection to them.
Stella - Stella was newly re-colonized on this campus. She liked them but she didn't talk about them much.
The Mother - She liked The Mother a lot!!! She said The Mother's girls were super welcoming and their house was stunning.
Daughter -She didn't have much to say about these girls, other than that they were pretty but seemed a bit standoffish.
Son - Loved the bit of the house that she saw. Didn't say much (she was tired) but said that they looked like they had a very strong sisterhood.
Victoria - These girls have a bit of a bad reputation on campus, but Abby loved them!!! Said that she really felt connected and hoped they'd invite her back!
Patrice - Had a very bad experience here. Said her rusher really didn't treat her the way a rusher should...like she was totally uninterested in Abby and almost kind of "mocked" her about being from the state she is from. She did not want to come back to Patrice. At all.
Wendy the Waitress - She love, love, LOVED it at Wendy!! She said that by far these girls were the nicest.
Ranjit - Has a certain reputation on campus (nothing too bad, just offputting) but said that the girls were super nice and seemed to have a strong bond. She would love to be invited back!
Carl - This is one of the "top" houses on campus, so Abby thought she'd love it here. But she did not feel comfortable at this house. They asked her some weird questions "what does your father do for a living?" "What celebrity would you date?" etc) and seemed stuck up. She did not want to be asked back.
Nora - This is one of the "top" houses on campus as well. After going to
Carl, Abby was afraid Nora was going to be snobby as well - but they pleasantly surprised her! She had a wonderful conversation with a member and said she definitely wants to be invited back.
Quinn - She didn't have an opinion either way about Quinn. She said her rusher didn't talk about the sorority much at all. She only talked about school...so Abby didn't know what to think.
Zoey - Abby heard (ugh, tent talk) that Zoey had one of the highest drop rates on campus, so she was worried. When went into the house, though, she was confused as to why. She thought they seemed sweet and though they weren't her favorite, she would be happy to be asked back.
This is the rank (in her mind at least):
- Lily
- Wendy the Waitress
- Victoria
- Nora
- The Mother
- Barney
- Ranjit
- Robin
- Zoey
- Marvin
- Quinn
- Stella
- Daughter
And then her bottom five were:
14. Ted
15. Son
16. Marshall
17. Carl
18. Patrice
Today (Tuesday) is the second day of house tours round, where she could see up to 13 sororities. She said she will call me tonight to tell me how it goes!
