You're late for TEA!

[Parfait]

You'll have to pardon me, I'm reading off my scribbled notes and attempting to put it in a way so it makes more sense to readers. I don't think you guys would appreciate my stars, hearts, and swirls codes in this story. (Don't judge, we had 10 minutes to write AND walk across campus then line up for parties!)

Round One
Visit all five sororities. Wear a Panhellenic T-shirt, they had pink and yellow ones. The t-shirt had an extra sorority on it that is no longer on campus, so I guess the shirts are leftovers. I thought the pink ones were cute although I'm not a fan of pink, that's the one I wore.

On the way over to the student union my shoe broke! I ran back to my room and switched, then on the way back over my EARRING broke. I didn't want to be late so I removed the remaining. I was in a hurry and trying to make a good impression, this upset me a bit!
We met in our Gamma Chi groups and off we went to each chapter's room! (Some were in the student union, the others in another building.)
These are in the order we visited them.

Caterpillar
We stood in a single file line while the cheering started and then walked in and each PNM was paired up with a current member. The amount of girls seemed small, which may have been exaggerated by a large room. The first girl I spoke to seemed sweet, but I didn't feel a huge connection with her, but then again it is the first meeting. I don't remember what we chatted about, it wasn't important. The second girl seemed nice, but uninterested. I honestly wasn't feeling a sisterhood here, but who am I to judge since I don't know them personally? I did not enjoy my time here, but if invited back I would give them another chance.

Cheshire
I liked these girls. They seemed nice and like they stood up for their sisters. They had a cute runway show to show off their different social events such as Mom's Day, formal, Dad's day, etc. Their tables were really cute, too. I liked the girls I talked to, although one seemed really nervous! I wouldn't mind being invited back here to learn a bit more.

Jabberwocky
These girls seemed to have a very close sisterhood, but seemed a little small. The first girl I met had bright purple eyeliner with a skin-toned subtle sparkled lid and I LOVED IT. I totally wear bright eyeshadows some days, but had gone more neutral for recruitment. She had just enough so that it wasn't trashy, but actually quite nice. She was so nice, I enjoyed talking to her. With one girl the conversation lagged awkwardly a bit, but that's okay, we were both really nervous. She took me to see their table, which I liked a lot. I really liked these girls and hope to be invited back.

Mad Hatter
Ahhh! I really liked this party. They had fish on the tables, which was neat. Apparently one of the fish had jumped out earlier between parties. The conversations were easy and I liked the girls. They rotated a lot in this party, I wondered for a second if they did that with annoying or unwanted PNMs but then realized it was happening to ALL PNMs. The girls I talked to all seemed to really care for each other. I hope to be invited back here!

Queen of Hearts
I LOVED this party, too! They seemed to be very happy in their sisterhood, very close. Their philanthropy is something close to my heart. I met several girls, but had one main girl talking to me. Their tables were totally adorable and I loved looking at all the photos. I thought the conversations went well and I really wanted to be invited back here, too!


RANKINGS:
Queen of Hearts
Jabberwocky & Mad Hatter
Cheshire
My #2 option was Caterpillar
I went ahead and listed them in order of my favorites here.

The one thing I noticed about all parties was how freaking loud it was, I felt like I was straining my voice to be heard.
I spent most of the night and the time up until the party fretting about being dropped from recruitment. The next day we could be invited back to FOUR parties.
