My recruitment story

[Blueink]

So as recruitment begins we have a meeting with the recruitment counselors. Then it's philanthropy round. The way this is done, at least where I go every sorority has a room or area in one of the buildings on campus, and then we went room to room and were required to stop in every room. I can't remember the exact order I went to the rooms in but I can remember fairly well how my time was spent in all the rooms.

Warm Vanilla Sugar- The girls in here seemed nice; I had heard some negative things about this house around campus. I remember the girl who was showing me around really seemed excited, maybe a little too excited; it came off to me like they were trying really hard. I spent a fair amount of time in this room, because the girl who was talking to me wouldn't let me go. Each time I would try and make a statement to indicate I was leaving she would have something else to tell me, or someone new to introduce me to. I didn't want to be rude, but I didn’t completely love my time in this room & it got worse as I was prohibited from leaving. I think I finally said that I really had to go and left.

Moonlit Path- At this house I was seated with a girl whom I liked very much, she was very pretty and we had a lot in common, however looking around I could see that she was the exception. I remember noticing that there were very few girls in this house, one moonlit path girl had two or three PNM's to talk to. I was just talking with the one girl. I remember we were doing a craft and my paint pen thing spit out a lot of ink, and I tried to hide it, luckily moonlit path didn't notice, I was embarrassed by that! I didn't spend much time here, and I wasn't so sure I liked these girls as much as some of the others.

Coconut Lime Verbena- Going into this room I had mixed feelings. The girls were pretty and very nice, but I had been a little turned of by the one girl who I talked to at the fair. I wanted to give them a fair chance though because in a house of say 100 girls, there is always that 1 girl who maybe you don't click with. The girls I talked to (and there were several) seemed to have a lot in common with me. I got the impression that these girls were very athletic. I had a fun time here but didn't spend a long time. Overall I left not completely sold on this house, but not disappointed either.

Mango Mandarin- I spent a lot of time in this room. I loved the girls I was introduced to, I felt really comfortable with each girl, I enjoyed every minute here. It seemed like I fit in, I didn't have to "be someone else". I'll never forget the girl who I spent most of my time talking to reminded me so much of my cousin. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I liked this house so much. I enjoyed talking with them and left really really liking this sorority!

Sensual Amber- I had a nice time here, they were till one of my top choices, but I don't remember anything really standing out. I left liking them just as much as I did when I came in.

Exotic Coconut- This was the final room I visited on this day, I had a good time, and we played this game that was pretty easy. The girl showing me around made me feel comfortable. We had a lot in common, I was enjoying my time here, I remember thinking I wouldn't mind being an Exotic Coconut. Since this was the last house I wanted to have some more time with them, so I came back the second day of philanthropy round to take a little more time to get an idea of the girls. My second visit was not as nice as the first. I remember wishing the girl who had been showing me around the first time was showing me around again. I got the vibe like this second girl didn't think I was exotic coconut material. I left disappointed!
