This made me think of the Sans, Fallon, and Dratch SNL skits of the kids from Boston, right?

Those sketches were spot on!

Things I did right:

1. I kept an open mind. At schools with a deferred recruitment, it is almost impossible to go into recruitment without pre-conceived notions about some of the chapters, but I didn't let my friend Richard dissuade me from chapters that I liked, and I didn't try so hard to be in the "top" chapters that he talked up if I felt like it was a bad fit.

2. I stuck it out through preference. Even though I was disappointed about not being invited back to Anything Goes, I went to preference and found my home. You can drop out of recruitment at any time, so why drop out before you have the full story?

Things I could've done better:

1. I should have known what to expect. Talking to Jessie might have helped me to know what goes on at each party so I could mentally prepare myself for the chanting, the rotating conversations, etc.

2. I should have known where I was supposed to be and when. I guess this wasn't really my fault as much as it was the fault of OFSL not assigning me a Rho Gamma in due time and/or my Rho Gamma not contacting me. I had class all day, but I had my cell phone on me and I was waiting for a call.

This is what I was most impressed by in your story! I can't imagine how hard it would be to do this with deferred recruitment.
