Sorry everyone! I've had a CRAZY last week... here goes!
So the way our recruitment worked, the sororities ranked us, but we had no say in the ranking process. So, for the first round of recruitment, I was going invited back to...
Sapphire
Diamond
Amythyst
Turquoise
Emerald
Pearl
Garnet
Peridot
Aquamarine
Amber
Bronze
Since we were only able to go back to ten sororities, I decided to drop Bronze. I just had no connection there. While I was disappointed I was not invited back to Gold (since all my friends were in it back home), I was really excited because I still had Garnet and Pearl. I had really loved those houses!
Now on to first round.
Sapphire - I knew some older girls in this house, but I didn’t really feel a great connection. We watched the skit, which was a “Now and Then” theme. Overall, I had okay conversations, but nothing absolutely stellar. I wouldn’t be upset to be invited back, but I still wasn’t over the top excited.
Diamond – Diamond was growing on me. The same girl that had picked me up during open house picked me again. She was extremely talkative and energetic. During this round, the president came over and talked to me. I thought that was pretty cool, and I like the sisters I was talking to. Still, this house was not at the top of my list.
Amythyst – The girls I talked to at this house again seemed very disinterested. We watched the video for the chapter, and several girls gave testimonials on the video. One of the women mentioned the house that they lived in on campus. My aunt had lived in that house when she was a student here, and I mentioned that to the girl I was speaking with. She got really excited, and told all the Amythyst’s next to her that my aunt lived in the house that was considered an “Amythyst pass down” (aka, only senior Amythyst’s lived in the house). One of the girls asked if my aunt was an Amythyst. When I said no, she got really quiet, and said that only Amythyst’s lived in that house. I said well, it was 25 years ago, so I’m sure things have changed. The girl continued to argue with me about how ONLY Amythyst’s lived in that house. I stopped arguing, but I was pretty sure that I was not going to be invited back to that house.
Turquoise – I honestly don’t remember this house at all, but I remember not being a huge fan.
Emerald – Again, I knew a few of the women in this house. I liked it to a certain extent, but it was a little overwhelming. Everyone was sooo loud, and I could not concentrate. However, the skit was hysterical. It was a Singled Out theme, and it was one of the funnier ones I saw.
Pearl – I had absolutely LOVED this house going through recruitment originally. However, the skit we saw wasn’t that funny, and I didn’t have as great of conversations as I had had on the first day. The girls were still nice, but it wasn’t as great as my initial impression.
Garnet – I was still in LOVE with this house due to my interaction with all of the seniors in the house. The skit was a Grease theme, and I loved everything. My conversations weren’t fabulous, but I knew so many girls in this house, and I wanted this house very badly. It was definitely my number one!
Peridot - I spoke with a really great girl during this party, but the rest of the house did not impress me. The video we watched was very boring, but I did enjoy the one girl I spoke with. She was an art education major and was really fun to talk to.
Aquamarine – I knew this house was one that everyone was supposed to love, but I really didn’t feel it. We did our craft during this round, and I spoke with a few girls. They were really nice, but I just couldn’t see myself in this house.
Amber – I really loved some of the women I talked to in this house. As a political science major, I spoke to a few women who had interned in Washington D.C. We made crafts, and I had a great time learning about their philanthropy. I felt like these women had a great relationship, and I really wanted to get to know them better.
After visiting all those houses, I could only wait! I could only go back to up to six houses. So, I just had to wait and see what happened.
