Okay Im not sure anybody is reading this or even enjoying it but I guess I will contine. The cuts didnt make me mad this round as they did in the next two rounds.

I was elimanted from ALpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Chi Omega and Pi Beta Phi. I was excited to have 8 or 9 possible invites back. This made me feel really good like I was on cloud 9. This was house tour day so I was excited because we were required to live in the house as a sophomore and junior.

The first house that I went to was dolphin. I meet with this women Sarah. She showed me a six person room called the zoo because it could have the most women live in it. Then they made their theme a mountain and they did a country dance and singing to it later. Sarah was a pre pharmacy major and I wasnt sure that I would fit in being an education major but then the girl Elle I talked to came up and said hi and oh we talked again and I found out she was a psychology major. I was thinking that this house had diversity. It was something that I wanted from a house and not to have everyone be the same.

Then I went to squireel. I thought this would be my house after round 1. Then I was paired with Allie and them signing to Grease was totally ausome especially with all the seniors in this skit. It was so cute. But insted of grease it was Squireel. I found this so adorable. All the houses were set up to have themes of grease and pieces of candies and water in the rooms. And When I was going on the tour with Sarah I ran into Ashleigh from round 1 and she said She was glad to see me back and Allie seemed just as ausome as her. She was down to earth and this is a house I could totally see myself in.

Then I went to Panda This was a house that I was not excited to be going back to. I had decided to give it a chance. I talked with Leila whom I had a better feeling about then the girl that I did in the first round. The house was so cute and done in a boutique like a place that we would want to buy. They did some cute shopping skit and it was id rather be shopping with Panda's. Oh it made me laugh. I had such a great time. I walked away totally amazed by this hosue. It had changed my opinon on the house. It made it move up.

Then I went t horse. I meet a girl Noelle whom was in the band and the total opposite of me. AN engineering major. But I kept reminding myself that Katie, whom later became a good friend of mine, was lots of diversity. I just felt like their was no connection here and I wanted to love this house. Was I trying to hard for the girl that i thought was amazing? They did a fashion show of how the horses dress it was cute. I just could not quite picture myself in this house. Was I doing something wrong?

Then i went to white tiger. I was rushed by my best friend from home Jordan. I was kinda disappointed that I did not get to meet anyone else but someone whom I was friends with. I knew she had this beach them that i felt connected to. I knew she wanted me to join white tiger. She talked about how great it was especially all the work over the summer. The theme reminded me I was back home but hey i was in Oregon now.

Then I went to Bear. I was paird with Courtney here. So was so excited to show me the house where all the rooms were about different places to visit. It was fun. I thought that was cool! Then we went to see a skit in Oregon and Black showing their spirit for OSU. I was excited to see this house

Then I went to beavers I was excited to go back and I got there the presidents wife had come by dinner a few nights before and found out a lot of girls were education majros like what I had planned to be when I first went to college. They did a Saturday Night live mock. It was so funny. I liked Elisabeth and I felt connected to her but as much as some others. We had an okay conversation but not totally great.

Then I went to Kangaroo I was excited to go back to this house. They had a cute Tiffany's theme house all blue tiffany. It was so adorable. I meet this girl Brynn whom was a cheerleader with lots of energy. I was totally exhausted by the time I got to Kangaroo. But I loved the excitment all t he girls had for Kangaroo.

At the end of the day I reanked them

Panda
Kangaroo
Squireel
Bears
Dolphin
Beavers
White Tiger
Horse

loving it already though I was sad you got cut by your legacy house

[BabyPiNK_FL]

I'm pretty sure I know who Squirrel is just from some things you said, but the rest...I'm clueless! Keep going! Great job!

[violetpretty]

You said Kangaroo is your legacy chapter, but you said you were cut by your legacy chapter. What gives?

If I read this right, Cheetah is also a legacy chapter, but it doesn't sound like she was superinterested.

I felt disinterested because other houses were so much better then this. This was definitely a house I didn’t think I belonged at. I was glad to leave.

It still doesn't make sense because:
1. Kangaroo=mom's sorority, which she likes
2. Cheetah=sister's sorority, which she did not like
3. She said she was cut from Pi Beta Phi
4. She says Pi Beta Phi was a legacy chapter that she was interested in

But:
1. Pi Beta Phi can not be kangaroo because she returns for round 2
2. Pi Beta Phi can not be cheetah because her description in round 1 doesn't match the "I wanted to be a part of it" description of Pi Phi.

I am still confused unless there is another legacy chapter that I missed.

Okay its was round 3 also known as p hiltharonphy round ( i hoped I spelled it right) I had a full schedule of 6. I was shocked Delta Delta Delta had dropped me, I really liked them in the previous round but looking back I totally understand why. I was also dropped by ALpha CHi Omega which I was happy about but I was not happy to get invited back to white tiger. The others I was willing to give a chance. Oh I got 6 out of 6 invites back.

First I went to visit dolphin. I talked with Jessie whom was also from California and we were able to talk about living in the small town coming from orange county. It was totally unbelievable. They showed a slide show of sisterhood activities and it made me realize what a diverse chapter this was and it was something that I wanted to be a part of. Then Elle the girl I had talked to in round one came up to me and she was super sweet and the 3 of us worked on the project in the basemeant. It was fun. I was glad I went there. They are definitly one of my favorites. I started seeing myself in this house.

Then I went to white tiger. I talked to Corie and Lindsey whom I kept having to steatch the conversation and seem intrested not to hurt Jordan's feelings. I hadnt told her this was not one of the houses I felt a connection with. They had a easy fun philathrophy project. But this house seemed as the anit athlete house and one that did not want one in. It was more a geeky smart house and I was not into that at all. I just do not see myself in this house. But I later found out Jordan pushed hard for me to keep getting invites back. They had a slide show of the hous eand all kinds of fun stuff that happened during the previous year which was good.

Then I went to bear I was rushed by Caroline whom asked me about my family finances? I thought it was none of her business this was a turn off because I didnt want to be judged by my parents did. It offended me that someone would want based on what my parents do. It made me feel uncomftorable at a 2nd straight party. Then Courtney said she was happy to see me.

Then I went to Panda. I was excited to be here. Jenn rushed me here she reminded me of my older sister whom was a squirrel at her school. It made me feel a connection here. I saw a slide s how of them being silly and everything. I could see myself in this house. I did not have the best time in round 1 but I totally keep falling in love with this house more and more. WE had an ausome conversation about theatere consideing we both enjoyed going to it in high school and i was able to laugh. She was the first one whom complemented me and said that she would be seeing me in the next round whihc I later learned that you can not do.

Then i went to beavers I was paird with girl Amy whom was sweet and sincere and down to earth. I loved talking with her while we helped out their philtharophy which was something i cared about. it was a lot of fun. Then we had fun sipping lemondae and talking as the slide show went by. i was falling in love with this house but not as much as others.

Then i went to squirrel I was stocked to be invited back to this house. We had fun watching the slideshoe with Jana whom was a cheerleader and a girl whom I did not click with as much as others in the past at this house. I was thinking she thought that she was better then me. I had fun watching all the fun things they did as a chapter. I still felt like this could be my home

After the 3rd round my rankings were

Dolphin
Squireel
Beaver
Panda
Bear
White Tiger

[alphagamphi]

I went to a school where legacy did not really mean that much - its was more on connection but definitly not as competive as other friends of mine recruitment. I did not have gpa problems out of high school and i got invited back by a possible 8/9. We saw all 12 hours on greek day and now I know three chapters have left since i went through rush in 1997. chapters in round 1. And i pledged a top chapter at my school.
