Hey guys!

So today I got my schedule for first rounds.
I got back:

Peter Pan
Aladdin
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Toy Story
Hercules
Mulan
The Emperor's New Groove
Monster's Inc.
Lilo & Stitch
The Incredibles
Enchanted
Tangled

I got 12 out of a maximum of 13 which was good but it was a little hard not to be jealous of girls that got 13. Also I got all my bottoms back, but like I said, I don't feel like my rankings will have much effect until pref night.

First rounds is the philanthropy round. You get 30 minutes with each sorority and most showed a video on their philanthropy and had a little craft or activity to do. It still was crowded and I was double or triple rushed (found out this term after reading other stories haha) in all of them. It was interesting rushing with new girls though, since everyone's schedule was different.

For the first day I went to six.

Monster's Inc. - This one was really good! I got so excited to go back here. I talked with two girls and it was good. The philanthropy was good. We didn't talk about anything super interesting but I hope I get called back.

Toy Story - This was really bad. It set me in a bad mood. The second girl didn't even look at me at all. I find that so rude and it really just makes you feel poor about yourself, you know? Also the second girl made some comments that made me question her morals and the type of girl she was.

Enchanted - This one was not good. I was not responsive and felt like a bitch. I just felt so bad because I didn't come in open minded at all. I do not want to be called back here.

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Much much better than last time! The girl I talked to was great. Their philanthropy was great as well. It was a good turnaround from the first round.

The Incredibles - I was surprised they called me back. One convo was a bit awkward but overall their conversations were pretty good and their philanthropy and the way they raised money was cute and creative. I felt a bit fake at this party though. I think because I knew the stereotype of the sorority and it freaked me out. I don't want to be fake but it's hard because if someone says something that you're like "eh" about, I still feel the need to be like, "I love that!" I don't know.. I'm trying hard to be myself but it's so confusing.

The Emperor's New Groove - This one was good as well. Nice girls and good philanthropy. The last girl I talked to was so nice! Again I felt that awkward feeling of, "Am I being myself?" This one was especially confusing because I knew it could be possible the only reason I got called back was because I was a legacy.

At the end, I was feeling really mixed. I felt bad for how I acted in Toy Story, and I also started to become afraid that I wasn't being myself. Again, I also don't want to admit who I really want or hope too much because if I don't get them back, it's admitting failure. I know I shouldn't think like that but it's hard not to let this process push your ego around.

We get a day off before the second day of first rounds, so I'm hoping to relax, get some school work done, and just have time to myself. I wish I had more people to talk to. It's hard to explain how I'm feeling with words. It seems like everyone knows that their sorority is THE ONE for them and I'm afraid that's not how I feel. I'm not sure if the sorority tends to grow on the girl as they go on or if I'm just missing out on something.

After thinking it for a while, I decided the next six I'm going to I'm going to try to be as honest and myself as possible. If a sister says they love something, I won't lie and say, " OMG, I love it too!" but instead say something like, "I haven't seen it but I heard it was really good/what do you like about it" etc.

NEXT DAY

Lilo & Stitch - It started not that great but got a little better. The philanthropy was good but I'm not sure how I feel about them.
Mulan - Not bad. Philanthropy was ok. First girl I talked to I had very little in common but the other two I had pretty good conversations. These girls were nice.
Peter Pan - Surprisingly good! We talked about thoughtless things but it was fun. I liked their philanthropy . The girl I talked to was nice but she was definitely interested a lot in one of the other girls (triple rushed here).
Hercules - I was not really good at this one. I should've been more talkative but I wasn't. I'll probably get called back though.
Aladdin - This one went well but I don't remember much.
Tangled - Again, I remember this one went well. I felt like I had good conversations.

I ranked my bottom four.

1. Lilo & Stitch
2. Toy Story
3. Hercules
4. Enchanted

NEXT DAY

Ooooh boy this was rough. I got back:

Lilo & Stitch
Toy Story
Hercules
Enchanted
Aladdin

I'll write about my visits in the next post after I've visited them all. Let's just say there was crying though after I got my list back.

Best of luck to you!
