Hello all!
Today was sort of a mixed blessing; I’m really starting to see what they mean when they say that you’ll end up where you’re meant to be. Here’s where I was invited back to for round 2:
---Today---
Bahamas
Fiji
Acapulco
Maui
St. Lucia
---Tomorrow---
Virgin Islands
Miami
Barbados
I was really disappointed that Puerto Rico and Hawaii weren’t on my list, as I’d had wonderful conversations with quite a few sisters there and was most excited to see them today. Luckily, I have more of a “favorite four” than just a single favorite to set my heart on, two of which were on my schedule! These would be the Bahamas and Miami, not to mention that I didn’t dislike any of the other houses on my schedule either, so I’m excited to get to know them better. Today, for example, I was really surprised to be invited back to Maui and St. Lucia, but after their skits (Round 2 = Skit Round) I’m IN LOVE with these ladies! Onto the recap…
First I went to Fiji, which wasn’t great, but wasn’t bad. I think I’ve mentioned before that I can definitely see myself as friends with these girls, but I’m not so sure about sisters—there just isn’t much of a spark there. Conversation was kind of slow.
Next up was St. Lucia, who had a really funny skit that showed these girls are able to make fun of themselves and just have a good time doing the silliest things together. That’s really important to me with any friends of mine, let alone a sorority, so while St. Lucia had been sort of so-so before, I’d definitely put them in my top 3! I’m also loving this round because sisters are remembering my name and our conversations (which I find AMAZING after meeting so many people!), so it definitely feels great to walk into a room and actually recognize some people that recognize you!
My next visit was to Maui, which depending on how Miami goes tomorrow, might just end up being my number one choice. I was surprised to be invited back here for first rounds and really REALLY surprised to go back for second rounds—but definitely not in a bad way! This was the funniest skit of the day; these typically poised, classy sorority girls were having so much fun being total goofballs in front of a huge crowd, and I LOVED it. It really made me respect them so much more!
After Maui I stopped at Acapulco, which I’d been lukewarm about before, but had a great time at tonight. I didn’t have as much of a connection here as I did with Maui or St. Lucia, but I’m not totally discounting these girls either.
Last up was the Bahamas, one of my favorites from first rounds. What I like about this sorority is that they’re super easy to talk to and just hang out with. They’re REAL girls, not your typical sorority sterotype, and they obviously love their organization and do a lot of great things with it.
I’m really excited for tomorrow as well; tonight was kind of long but nothing compares to nine hours of recruitment like yesterday. While my decisions on who to cut and how to rank have been pretty easy until now, if my opinions change about tomorrow’s sororities like they did for today’s, I’ll definitely have my work cut out for me.
