AOE2AlphaPhi's Retro Recruitment Thread

[AOE2AlphaPhi]

So I spend the whole evening assuming I'll go back to Chloe, Cole Haan and Francesco Biasia because my Rho Gammas told us it was almost impossible to be cut by a house you felt good about before preference at UPS.

Sunday morning, I was barely awake when my Rho Gammas (who I was sure were a Chloe and a Cole Haan) gave me my schedule for the day. It only had Francesco Biasia and Kate Spade, which meant I had to sit and wait in a classroom for two periods in a row. I almost started crying. I was embarassed and hurt, especially because I had felt such a connection at Chloe and because Sally and Jane had both run over to me to say they had gotten all their top choices. This is going to sound terrible, but I was so used to beating these girls academically, (and socially to a degree, I was more outgoing, and just knew a lot more people around campus) that I felt like something must be horribly wrong with me.
I got a hold of myself for a minute and noticed that Jane wasn't there. I marched over to Jane's Rho Gamma, and asked if she knew where Jane was (in retrospect, it could have been because she hadn't gotten any invitations, which would have put the Rho Gamma in a hard place answering, but that didn't occur to me.) Her Rho Gamma said she hadn't showed up and that she wasn't sure why because she had gotten invitations. She said Jane had the first party free, and I did too, so I offered to go to Jane's room and see what was up. She had just overslept. It was vintage Jane, she was sweet, but just kind of flakey. On the way back to my dorm, I cried and felt bad about myself and I was kind of a mess by the time I found Jane, who had just overslept. I got her dressed and put makeup on her and she tried to convince me that I wasn't socially disabled, and she got back to the building where we met our Rho Gamma groups. She had gotten invitations to all her first choices, which pissed me off, although I hid it. I was the only person of all the girls I knew only going to two parties. So basically I felt horrible, especially considering how eager everyone had been to take Kate Spade off their lists.
