Oooh..It's been a long day but I rushed back here to post. Sorry it took so long! We had a going away party for a friend who joined the army (tear) so I'm just updating.
here goes!!
Today was a blast. I had a lot of fun going to each of the chapters and talking to them while doing crafts. Plus, it was nice to be able to work on something so that there were other girls you talked to while you worked. We went to all five chapters today, in a row!, so I'll start there in order.
DeeDee- This was an early one and I had a lot of fun talking to the girl whose name I still remember! I think this is a good sign because I talked to so many girls that I try and keep up with names but this one really stuck since we had such a great conversation. I liked the fact that we only talked to one girl because sometimes it gets hard when I talk to 7 and then I forget names. Also, this was my number three choice going in but now it definetly has been bumped up because I liked the girl and how we shared a lot of interests even though I didn't think we would. I am going to definetly going back this week to see them. This group is one of the ones that I could definetly see myself joining.
Joey- I was really looking forward to seeing Joey because of the great girls I met from last time so I was super happy that the girl who had talked to me last time not only talked to me again but remembered my name and what we had talked about. I met two other girls and they were really nice and supportive about me going through rush, especially when we agreed about breaking out because of stress. This room was very pretty since they were all wearing the same thing and the room was decorated like a restaurant with low lighting. Plus, their video was very nice to see because it made me feel that the girls were very close to each other. The one thing I don't know what to think of is that someone told me that this group is on probation, but I don't know the girl very well so I don't know what to think and it doesn't really change my view of them. But on the other hand, I would like to know why. Plus, to me, it's most important that I feel I can fit into the group and with this group I do.
I don't remember if I went to see Tommy or C.J afterwards so I'll go with C.J.
C.J.- I know all of you know which one this is but I'm going to comment on it because I feel its important in my deciding. I've been thinking about C.J alot mainly because I don't know if it's for me. I do see the potential in choosing a colony as opposed to an estabilished sorority but something worries me. I think the thing that is concerning most is that I might not be here next quarter/semester because of study abroad and I don't want this to hurt me. Also, I don't know if with my pending new job I'd be able to contribute as much as I'd like to. However, with that said, I did enjoy talking to the girls who were there today even if they weren't students at my school. ooops, I nearly wrote my school name! The one thing I didn't like was that they felt they had a closer bond due to living in the same house and they would say how this was so important but that it's not necessarily better, just different. I guess it troubled me because it felt that our chapter wouldn't be as close. But, I might just be interpreting this the wrong way.
Tommy- I have thought a lot about Tommy because I didn't want to get my hopes up too much. However, I did talk to a lot of nice girls and felt that I could possibly fit in if I got to know them better. I don't remember this group too much because it was at the end of the day and I was really tired by now. However, I do remember talking to girls who really connected to their philanthropy and I liked this since it showed that they did take an active interest in it.
The end of the day brought Johnny. I went into this group not knowing if I would enjoy it but the girl I talked to was so nice, I am starting to question if perhaps my initial thoughts of this group were wrong. I really did enjoy talking to her since we both shared so many interests and this is one of the smaller groups on campus, which I liked. I don't know yet if I am looking for a super large group or or a smaller group but I will decide on this within the next few days. We had a great talk and I found out that she had a similar experience to mine while rush. I want to see this group again because I want to make sure I could really join this sisterhood or if it was just this one girl. I'll have to see.
Overall, the entire day went really well. I had so much fun and was much more relaxed than the previous two days. I am going to go tomorrow and see Joey since I only have time for him due to classes. I'm getting more and more excited every day because Bidday is coming up and the more I think about it, the more I realize I made a really good choice in going through rush. I just really hope I get those pref. tea calls!!
Goodnight everyone!
