A Big Bang Theory Recruitment Story

Okay, so here I go off to get my cards for Tuesday's parties. I get the packet in hand but wait a minute. There's only 8 cards. Sheldon has dropped me so now I can only cut 1 sorority so I have to keep Bernadette for now. I drop Raj and prepare for another day of parties. Most of the girls in my rushee group got all 9 cards back so my feelings are a little hurt but I have a full day of parties so no point in getting too upset.

Penny-once again my favorite. These girls are amazing and this is where I feel at home. They do this cute skit "Thank God I'm a Penny" based on the John Denver song. So 70's but they do a great job.

Leonard-this group serves the best dessert. Ice cream in flower pots. It's delicious. I'm not comfortable in this chapter room but I sure do love ice cream.

Howard-a girl from my home town recognizes me at this party and goes out of her way to make sure I'm comfortable. I really do like this sorority.

Bernadette-the party is so loud that I cannot hear anything that the girl who is supposed to be talking to me is saying. She's gorgeous and very nice but I don't think I heard one word that she said. Everybody must be having a great time because it is really, really noisy. I'm on the fence with this one.

Amy-not as much fun as yesterday but I can tell this is a great group of girls. I thought I had a good shot with this one as a group of Amys had approached me about joining when I was at my previous school.

Barry Kripke-just can't feel the love with this group. They seem to be going through the motions but their hearts don't seem to be in it. Kind of a cold feeling that I got with them.

Mrs. Wolowitz-although this is a really small group, they're very aggressive in their rushing and make you feel very wanted. I like them.

Day 2 is over. I'm thinking that I'll cut Bernadette and Barry Kripke. All of my fellow rushees are already choosing their big sisters. I'm not thinking that far ahead. I'm not as confident as the younger girls are. My roommate has decided to cut Penny because she doesn't like that they performed a song that has God's name in it. To her, it's blasphemy. She seems to be doing good in rush and is confident that she's going to end up in Leonard. I'm not super nervous yet but I am a little concerned at this point.

I've been pretty vague so far regarding the groups, but today I'll go into more detail and I'm sure many of you will be able to figure out the parties. Wednesday is a big day in our recruitment with 5 parties and you have a better sense of where you're going to end up or at least that's what most of my fellow rushees thought.
I get my cards for the day but I only have 4 so I don't even have a full schedule. Leonard, Howard, and Amy have all cut me. I really start to get upset because everybody else seems to have 5 parties to attend. Now the big sister quest is in full force and everybody is so excited. They know where they're going to pledge. I'm confused as I don't understand how some of these girls have full schedules. It's not fair, I don't like it, but I'm not dropping out. I'm attending my 4 parties and let the chips fall where they may. I have decided that I'm going to have a good time and not worry about who cuts me.

Penny-still love this chapter but I'm from an area of the state that is coastal. I've been looking at boat stuff all of my life. Not sure I want to look at it in my sorority. But this chapter is doing such a good job of rushing. I still like them a lot.

Barry Kripke-I really don't like this chapter. They've done a skit today about an orphaned girl who is thrown out and has to find her home. She finds her home with this chapter. All of the members are crying as well as rushees. It's a horribly sad skit. I don't like having my emotions played on and they are doing exactly that.

Bernadette-okay, I've been hard on this chapter all week, but Wednesday is different. They are all dressed in matching nightgowns, and mattresses are all over the chapter room floor. It is one gigantic pajama party. It's gorgeous and I love it. Now I feel really comfortable here. I'm laughing with everyone and having the best time. I hated to see the party end. Funny how your perceptions change during the week.

Mrs. Wolowitz-probably the least desirable chapter on campus but I loved these girls. They make you feel wanted and after the bruising my ego took that morning, I needed a little encouragement.


Wednesday parties were over and now it was time for a reality check. I got cut hard that day so I wasn't sure what to expect on Thursday morning. I ran into a friend of mine from high school that afternoon in the stairwell of the sorority dorm. She also was a transfer student and she was almost in tears. She had been cut heavily that morning as well. She had also seen all of the younger girls excitedly going through the rush experience. I felt bad for her. It was sad to see someone so down. But we both knew we were going to see it to the end.
