Third Stage –
Red and white 2-piece dress with shoulder pads and white mesh short sleeves (yes, it’s true), white hose with red and white low heels. Big square, white acrylic earrings with a red zig zag on them, and white acrylic beads with a large red square bead in the center of the strand.
Waterford: This was the first time I felt out of place here. They had definitely been a favorite up to this point, but for the first time I really noticed the other rushees and not just the chapter members. Many of the rushees were not like me or my friends. I suspect that a lot of the reason that I like this chapter is because Barbara, the really popular girl from my high school, didn’t get in and I feel flattered to still be invited back! I am upset that I don’t talk to Gerri this time because she is in the skit. The skit is excellent but I just can’t shake the feeling that I am acting here when I talk to anyone but her. If they really knew me maybe they wouldn’t like me… But, I LOVE Gerri, so I just don’t know!
Kilkenny: This skit was the best of all. It was a Disney theme again, “The Wonderful World of Kilkenny,” and the energy and enthusiasm were contagious. I am extremely impressed by how good the vocals are! I feel very connected here. Melissa is at this party and she leaves saying they are now her first choice.
Wexford: I don’t remember this party at all! I do remember talking to Kristen, a fellow rushee and a classmate of mine from high school. She said they invited her even though she had cut them and she went since she didn’t have a full schedule. I giggle and tell her that Wexford did the same to me and I don’t understand these rules at all! The best part though is that I see Joelle here from the infamous team of Pam and Joelle!!! After the 2 of them made sure that all of us knew they were only going back to top chapters and I’m sure they made derogatory comments about Wexford. Is it bad that this makes my day? Kristen and I leave Wexford and walk together to Dublin, which we both have next.
Dublin: I remember that I had seen Kristen here last stage. She tells me her older sister is an active here so they pretty much have to take her, but she likes some other chapters too. I don’t remember anything about this party, but I wrote “no” on my booklet, so something must have made me feel that his wasn’t the place for me. I suspect it had something to do with my mixed feelings about Tricia, but I can’t remember.
Limerick: This chapter does a camp theme. They serve dirt cake out of little terra cotta flower pots. There are canoes and paddles everywhere and the entire house is decorated like summer camp. It is truly amazing. Today I was disappointed that I didn’t get Tracy again. Instead, I got a senior who I could tell wasn’t very impressed by me. She asked my major and I told her I was deciding between math and accounting. She told me that accounting was nearly impossible at U of I (as if I couldn’t cut it.) Then, I asked her what she was studying, and it was – you guessed it – accounting! I realized that I wasn’t totally sure if I liked this chapter or if I just really liked Tracy! I also felt like this rusher was trying to “put me in my place.” I left feeling very confused.
After this stage I wish I could have gone back to Kerry, because I am sensing that Waterford and Limerick will probably cut me. If Kilkenny cuts me too I might as well drop out like Missy. Hopefully at least one of those 3 will be on my list of invites!
