I'm really frustrated right now because I got cut really hard and I'm not sure why. I was told that I wouldn't be cut just for being a sophomore, but that is the only reason I can think of for getting cut as hard as I did. There were so many girls in my rush group that got their top seven, and I honestly don't feel that any of them have any more to offer than I do except for the fact that they'll be here a year longer than I will (I'm not saying that they have less to offer! -- but I think I have just as much). I really felt like I was having good conversations with the girls from these sororities and I'm not sure why I was cut from so many of them.
I've also been having tons and tons of fun with kids from my dorm, my intramural soccer team and so many other people, and it's making me start to question whether or not I really want to be in a sorority at all. I am having so many wonderful experiences even without being in one that I'm beginning to question whether I really want to be in one.
I'm sorry; I am just feeling insecure right now because of some things that happened this weekend, and now this getting-cut thing doesn't help. Right now I am just trying to concentrate on the fact that I got asked back to two of my top three choices and hopefully I won't get cut from them before Pref.
(Anyway, for those of you who do better with names than with numbers, in no particular order, I will be returning to Alpha Epsilon Phi, Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Delta Tau, and Delta Delta Delta.)
House #2: I still love these girls. I've been rethinking the whole Greek life thing, but when I walked into this house it made me think about what I'd be missing if I didn't join a sorority. However, I was double-rushed tonight and that always makes me nervous about whether or not I'll be asked back, because I don't feel like I make a lasting impression when I double-rush; I feel like I'm being overshadowed by the other girl. Their house was decorated beautifully -- it had a "sweetheart" theme -- and I just loved being there.
House #1: These girls were really far down on my list after the first round, so I didn't really want to go back. I liked them better this time around, but I still didn't really click with them.
House #9: This house was pretty far down on my list after last time too, but I had a lot of fun this time. The first girl who rushed me was awesome, and we bonded over our mutual guilty pleasure of pop music. We toured the house, and the rooms there are really big. Overall I liked these girls a lot more than I did before, but I'm still not sure about them, and my conversations with the other girls in the house weren't anything special.
