Retro Recruitment

[dgdramadawg]

PLOT TWIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I mention that my Mom is a member of Dolly Levi? Well, she got "the call" that I'm sure every alum dreads last night... Dolly Levi called her to let her know that they were cutting me and that I would not be attending prefs with them. She called me as soon as she could to let me know because she knew that Dolly Levi was really the only house I was interested in that I had left.

I thought about it for a while and decided to call Caroline early this morning, before the rest of my rush group met her. I told her that I had decided to drop out of recruitment because Dolly Levi had cut me. She seemed very surprised and told me that she didn't see why I wanted to drop out when I had two pref parties on my schedule for today (Janet Weiss and Cora Hooper). I told her that I knew I was not going to fit in with either of the houses, so I didn't see the point in going to prefs. Caroline asked me if I wanted to COB and I told her I just didn't care anymore. I am so angry and upset that this did not work out for me because I feel like I did nothing wrong and was punished for it. (But of course I have to wonder if I would have found my "home" during formal if I had already dropped 20 lbs like I ended up doing my freshman year, not worn a homemade dress to round one, and gotten recs for every house. Hey, I was naive.)

While my dormmates, what's left of my rush group, and my friends from high school are enjoying bid day tomorrow, I will be going to an audition for my first mainstage university play. I am glad that I won't be missing auditions for bid day. I always thought I would go Greek, but I guess sorority life just isn't for me.
