WCsweet<3's Recruitment Story

[WCsweet<3]

I walked in expecting three maybe four houses to visit. I heard that girls had already dropped. The Rho Gammas handed out the schedules and….
I had a full schedule.
WHAT?
I’m a sophomore what is going on? I never had a full schedule last year! I had not been invited back to Ducks and Bruins. I was not sad. I had been equal about Bruins and Sun Devils. I was so shocked by the fact that I had a full schedule.

Beavers: I am a face person. If I have ever talked to you once, there is a good chance of me recognizing you. I had played soccer in middle school with the girl who called my name. She didn’t recognize me, which was awkward. We went into the backroom and began on the activity for philanthropy. The other PNM I was paired with was laying the compliments on really thick, but “Cari” seemed to enjoy it. Have you ever heard anyone talk about how pretty the hardwood floor is? After that we started to look at all the old pictures of the pledge classes, including the first one! I thought that was awesome as it is around one hundred years old. I was not impressed by Beavers. I felt bored.

Cardinals: Remember that girl in high school, whom everyone seemed to love but was a complete witch to you and your friends? Well, my girl was standing across from me waiting to be called in. I smiled and waved and well she ignored me. I thought we could be grown up since we were in college, but she still doesn’t like me apparently. I do not want to be in a house with her. Two new sisters picked me and two other PNMs up at the door. I did not liking being in a threesome. I felt crowded. We decorated the front of coloring books. There were boards in the living room about the philanthropy which looked really fun! I didn’t like the house as much as day one but I liked it more than Beavers.

Wildcats: I was called in with another girl. The two hit it off as they were both cheerleaders. I have nothing against cheerleaders, but if I hear one more time about how dance and cheerleading is the same, I will scream! I’M A BALLERINA! No, my dance is not the same. Ugh! I was turned off by this house. It had been okay before but now I was beginning to dislike this house. The first girl did not talk very much about the philanthropy and really all she said was that she didn’t know much about it. I really like community service so that was also a sticky point. The activity was really messy and difficult near the end. I didn’t mind. I wanted out of the house so the activity was okay.

Trojans: This visit was unremarkable. There was the standard talk and we colored. Then, they showed us a video from Greeksing last year. It looked awesome! I cant wait for it! They also showed us some shirts they have worn over the years. This might sound weird, but I really liked the way their letters looked. I thought the sisters were more interested in the other PNM. The PNM had clicked with our first sister.

Bears: I was so excited to be in this house again! The girl I talked to today was the philanthropy chair who had interned at their philanthropy over the summer. It was exciting especially since they had reached a huge goal over the summer. She had to go make an announcement and I talked to another sister. This sister was not so much fun. She didn’t seem interested in me, as if she was just going through the motions. In the front room there was a movie showing and I never got to see it. That was disappointing. The sister had said that she had felt tingles on day one and she always had known she was going to be a bear. I said I had really liked the house. I felt rocky as I walked out, but excited at the same time.

Sun Devils: I was excited for a second look at this house. The sister who picked me up was one I had talked to the day before. She was awesome! We watched a video at first and it sold me! The sisters looked so close and fun! After the video (!!!) we went to do a really simple activity and learn about the philanthropy. They do so much that I would love to be involved with. Ah! I was so happy to have a second look at this house!

We went back to the lecture hall to rank. On the walk, I began to wonder if my rec letters were the reason I had pulled through at a few houses that I did not feel like I did well in.
My ones were:
Sun Devils
Bears
Cardinals
Trojans
My twos were:
Beavers
Wildcats

This was not a hard decision.



P.S. This is last nights update. I thought I had posted it! I'm sorry! There should be a post later tonight... I hope.
