My mom didn't want me to rush AT ALL!!!! But, once I did and she saw how happy it has made me, she has been very supportive of it. She doesn't understand it at all really (she never went to college), but she realizes that I have really gotten something out of it. Besides, if I hadn't rushed, I wouldn't have my best friend now who she thinks of kinda like a second daughter! Haha.

Yeah I just finished having a talk with my mom---I told her how I just really wanted it....but she's REALLY concerned about it interferring with school. She's already told me "I dont want you having sorority events on a school night" and I had to tell her it is not up to me, and sometimes there might be events on a school night----its just hte way it is. I guess, its because if I do a lot of things continuously, I get really drained and I end up getting really sick. But she finally has the idea that the schedule I gave her is just for the week. I had to reiterate it a few times, but hopefully she's grasped that now! lol.

On another note, my group decided that if we didn't all want the same sorority that we were going to start our own (lol). Since we were "group 1" we would call ourselves ONE. Lol...its soo dumb, but I love those girls---I can't wait to see if any of them will be my sisters!!!

So I guess i'll give you all the rundown of the night

Phoebe--Again, these girls were great. I didn't feel as comfortable as I had the previous days, but I think it was b/c of the subject matter we were talking about. See, I was talking to the same girl from yesterday ( the one was in my Rho Chi group last year)...and she wanted to know more about why I didnt stick with Prue. I really didn't know what to say, I didnt know if it was an appropriate question to ask---if she was trying to get some dirt, or see if I would speak about the dirt---I dont know. So I just said that I didn't follow my heart when i should have, and I'm going through rush again, and trying to NOT make the same mistake. Then after they did their skit, another girl came up to me and talked with me. She was my Rho Chi last year. I think they were really trying to get the dirt from me, b/c after she recognized me she asked me about Prue. Don't ask me why, but for some reason I went more indepth with her. I talked about my mom's health and how that really factored into the decision. I told her I was in between 2 groups and that since my mom was really sick, we really couldnt afford a lot, so she pushed me to go with Prue. She asked why I didnt stay with them, and I just pretty much said, after a while I knew that wasn't where I belonged, and that is why I am rushing again. I don't know if what I said is really appropriate to say, but what's done is done. Ya know? Better out in the open...i didnt say anything about what happened to me while pledging Prue---I just stuck to my story that it wasn't what my heart wanted (which was/is true!) So i'm just praying that my "slip of the tounge" wont factor into the decision tomorrow (pref night).

Piper--This group did the same skit as last year (well so did Phoebe...but they changed it up a little bit) so it was entertaining, but I already knew what to expect----but it was still good. I really like all the tradition behind it and all, but I dont know if I could really see myself there. I could see getting along with most (if not all) of them, but I just dont know if I'm Piper material.

Paige--This group was great. They did their skit, and had NACHOS for us!! UMMMM...my favorite! After they did their skit, they taught us their dance and all, so it was fun. After that it was all good....we talked and just laughed. I really like this group, but I dont know if I can really see myself a Paige either.

Prue--This group was good. They did their skit, which was cool. They had us draw our own little "crest" which was nice...i didnt know what to draw so one of the Prue sisters---my good friend, ended up tracing my hand w/ marker and so now my right hand is outlined in blue! lol. So it was good.

Patty--This group was awesome also! They ended up doing their skit which was adorable, and then we just sat around eating popcorn and watching videos of their "lip sync" contests and stuff. It was great. I really do think I can see myself as a sister of this group as well. I know that one of the girls in my Rho Chi group has decided this is the group that she's going to take a bid from! lol. she's a great girl, and Patty is lucky to have her (of course nothing is set in stone yet).

Ugh, so I'm torn between two groups--Phoebe and Patty. I see myself as both. I just hope that i get invited back to Patty and Phoebe tomorrow. I know they say that they make their cuts based on grades....but there also has to be other factors involved also, and I dont want my conversation with one fo the girls from Phoebe being misconstrued into thinking i'm not sincere or nothing. Ugh i dont know! lol..i'm not stressing, i just wish i could turn back time and just say "i didnt follow my heart" and leave it at that...lol...that's all they really needed to know!

Well take care all, and thanks for the encouraging words! They really do mean a lot.
