Philanthrophy Round

I just remember like having these nagging little doubts in my mind. I just remember thinking is this worth it? But I thought if I get invited back to one on my list from the day before I would not go to that house. I knew I would not fit in there. But when I got my schedule for round 3, I think I had the hugest smile on my face because that house was not my list of a full schedule! Yea!


Your a Good Man Charlie Brown
I remember that the girl I talked to with was just someone that I could see myself laughing with. Each time I went to Your A Good Man Charlie Brown I just kept feeling more comftorable. I remember doing these good buys for a local philanthrophy. I just totally felt like I could really connect with this. And we were taken downstairs in their house. I just was feeling really good with the girl I was talking to. Then when we were sitting at a table I felt like I was clumsy and the project was not quite good enough. Then we sat with another person doing a craft. The conversation was just going along quite well. Then I remember seeing this cute video that they did to the Charlie Brown World. It was just adorable. I remember having this great conversation with the girl that was talking to. I remember having some lemonade here. I just was beginning to think that this would be a good home.

Then I went to Miss Saigon. I was taken downstairs and did not feel like I could connect as much to this girl as I had in previous rounds in this house. But the girl I talked to had much love and energy and love for her house. I did not fall in love with the house at all. But I can saw the picture show was adorable cute to friends. Like the show friends. I just did not have as much fun as I had earlier in the rounds. I wished I had gotten the girls I had previously. But I wondered whey it seemed like the previous girls. This made me wonder if I would fit in. I had loved the house in both the previous rounds. But i ended up at a table downstars all by myself. I knew that this house I would not fit in. I ended up figuting that out more later. Looking back I was not a good match for Miss Saigon but the house is actually still strong from what I know.

Then I went to South Pacific. No where was I more excited to be then at South Pacific. I made the goody bags and was at a table with six other girls. I was able to have lots of laughs with these girls. The girls that were in this hosue I could see myself hanging out with and having fun. The craft was silly stupid and a whole bunch of other stuff that I thought was meaningless but I had a great connection to this philanthrophy on personal reasons. I just remember the girls at the table all seemed to really want to get to know me. I knew that I could get in. They did a slideshow about South pacific Hills. It was just so cute. It was a spoof off a popular show. But I had to admit it was just adorable. All the different things they did through the year was put up there. I knew that South pacific was my home. All the girls I talked to in different rounds had vastly different intrests. I enjoyed that not all the girls were the same majors but all seemed to have fun. I was able to laugh with the girls in this house. I called my mom and told her I was going to be a South Pacific. I just knew I had found my home. I loved the PNM that I had talked to here.

Then off to Our Town. I was so excited to be here. The girl I was paired with we did a felt project It really did not keep my intrest at all but then I was ready to get the project over. The girl that I talked to in the hosue just seemed genuine and down to earth. I knew that everyone I had meet here seemed to be really sweet girls. They had a cute spunk off the Melrose Place and it made me laugh. It was like the girls had so much fun. You could see that they all had fun doing. I knew that they were more then just beautiful faces in the crowd. But they were not spunky like the South Pacific Was.

Then I went to Guys and Dolls. I had a okay time here. I remember that they had us make cards for a nursing home. I wonder if it was local. I kept wondering why we were all taken to the downstaris of the house. It seemed very strang that none of it had any variation. The girl that I talked to was spunky, fun, and definitly someone I would want to be with. I was able to relax here after Our Town. My expectations had been raised and now lowered. But both girls were nice. I said hi to the person from the first round. Then they did a cute little movie and do it to All the Guys and Dolls. It was just cute seeing the girls all having fun. I

Then finally the last house. I was excited that it was Hair. I had a great time at this house. I know that I did not have to saw that. The girls all seemed to be guininely intrested in me. The girls that I talked to were all there and down to earth and sweet. It made me feel like I was welcome in their house. It was like they were just real. I fianlly felt like they were not trying to impress me but I had a great time here. I was smiling. My face was getting tired of smiling a fter all 4 days. It was a fun time that I was having here. They they did a spoff and party of Hair. It was just cute. It showed the girls having fun wheater it was on trips or anything. I remember then talking again. My active that was talking to me told me to be quiet or I would of gone on more and more talking


My Ranking
1 South Pacific
1 Hair
1 Your A Good Man Charlie Brown
2 Guys and Dolls
3 Our Town
4 Miss Saigon

I struggeled with which house to put 2 and 3. on my list.

Preference

First when I looked at my schedule I was shocked to see only two names of sororities on it. But I did get my favorite, so I was totally stocked. I was most disappointed about Hair not being on my list but looking back on it today, I can understand more about why after being such good friends with the girl in the first round. So here it goes.

First I went to South Pacific. I just loved it here. The girl from the second round took me inside. She told me about how great being a South Pacific was and how close the whole house was. I was able to see how great the sisterhood here was. It seems like the girls just loved being South Pacific. But then a fair amount of seniors went up and talked. It was cute with the tables and the candles and lights. As I was living she said she hoped I had the same wish as she did that I would be here sister tommorrow. I thought that was so incredibly cute. I mananged to cry when the seniors were talking.

Then I went to Your A Good Man Charlie Brown
I didnt have as good of time here. I was taken by a junior at Your A Good Man Charlie Brown. The girl that rushed me was so sweet and I had seen here in the last round. I was glad that she took me. We had an amazing conversation. And the wishes and the food was all great. I just really could not see myself here. I had an amazing time at their prefernece ceremony. I also cried there. They had an amazing ceremony.

In fact I just really loved South Pacific. I knew deep in my heart that South Pacific was the only house I would accept a bid too.

So I only ranked South Pacific

Then I had a sleepless nice hoping and praying that my dreams of being a South Pacific would come true.

Suiciding is so anti-climatic when you get a bid, lol. I only prefed Zeta and I got a bid. Pretty easy.
