Hi guyyyys,
Tonight was great—I feel SO confident in the way I ranked everyone for prefs. I visited the Virgin Islands, Barbados, and Miami.

First I went to the Virgin Islands, which I had some ties to going in to recruitment. Luckily, I’ve been picking what’s right for me and not my friends, though, so it feels good to go back because I want to be there. Tonight was fun, and it’s always easy to talk to the girls here like I do with my friends back home, but at the same time I’m just not feeling a spark like at some of the other houses.

Next up was Barbados, which although they had a really great skit, it felt like the girls I talked to were bored or didn’t want to be there talking to me. Even when I flipped the conversation and asked about them, they didn’t get excited. I look at it as a blessing in disguise, though, because it made me realize that this isn’t the place for me.

Last was Miami, one of my favorites from open houses and first rounds. I talked to three girls here, two of which were WONDERFUL and I could have gone on talking to for hours, but the third (like at Barbados) just wasn’t really into the conversation. Even when she would get excited if we had something in common or something, she wouldn’t look at me! It was really bizarre, but I still love this place.

With that ends second rounds! Here’s how I ranked everyone for prefs, where we can go back to up to 3:

Maui
St. Lucia
Miami
---------------
Bahamas
Acapulco
Virgin Islands
Fiji
Barbados

We have tomorrow off (for Halloween) which = pref dress shopping time for me. Thanks for all of the support, everyone!

I'm so glad that you've felt close connections with several sororities and that things are going so well. You definitely have a great attitude about recruitment. Happy Halloween and keep us posted--can't wait to hear about prefs!

Hi Petals! I am so happy you are having an amazing time and you are making some great comments about your feelings, etc., about each chapter. Have fun and good luck dress shopping! I hope you find some smashing sales and can also pick up some shoes...LOL (I buy outfits to go with shoes so I have something for shoes I must share with others ).

Stay warm!! It is freezing here on the West Coast!

Something to keep in mind during prefs. . .look around the room at the other pnm's. they're the ones who will be in your new member class, and most likely the ones who you will be closest to in the sorority. don't not go to a sorority because of the potential new member class, but keep in mind some of these women will be your sisters too. that might also help in your decision if you have 3 fabulous prefs and you don't want to be there until christmas deciding! i've had a great time reading your thread! good luck for the rest of recruitment.
