Well let me start by saying that tonight was somewhat of a surprise. I tried really hard to go into it with a good attitude. While I hold nothing against Rollo and Jemmy (they are both great chapters!), they both feel a little too polarized for me at this point. That said, I really did enjoy all four chapters I went to tonight.
Roger was first. I have liked Roger from the beginning and keep having great parties there. We did a little philanthropy project, and their national philanthropy is really strong. They all seemed to be really involved in it. I talked to a great girl and people remembered me from before.
Marsaili was second. I have also liked Marsaili from the beginning. People were being a little negative about it at the beginning but I know I could really be happy there. It was a little awkward because my rusher decided to talk to the girl across the table because they were in the same physics class. I really had nothing to say about that, and couldn't get word in otherwise. I like them so much, and I am really hoping that it has no effect on me getting asked back tomorrow.
Rollo was third. Huge surprise. I really liked them tonight. It still seems a little too glamorous and high maintenance, but I'm sure not everyone is like that. Some of the girls remembered me, which was nice. I also talked to the chapter president. Since I am really into philanthropy, I wish theirs was stronger, but it is for a really good cause. Maybe if I join here, I will make it stronger and more of a focal point.
Jemmy was my last house of the night. I finally had a really good conversation with a sister. We seemed to have a lot in common, and I really liked her, I'm just worried the house is a little bit too laid back. Even though I like just hanging out, I like to go out and do things, too. I really want to like them, but its just not coming naturally.
In the end, it was a hard decision. I feel like I would be happy at Roger, Marsaili, or Rollo, and could grow to love Jemmy. I ended up putting down Roger and Marsaili, but would be ok with it if I were invited back to Rollo or Jemmy. I feel like they are a little bit too polar for me, so I can't guarantee I would sign anything, but I'm really glad to have had an open mind the whole time.
As a side note, I was reading a recruitment thread where some posters were talking about the order in which pnms were called or the direction they went showing how much the rusher/chapter liked them. I tried really hard not to think about it, but it was a little distressing. Im just hoping it really doesn't mean anything.
Apparently, I'm really bad at condensing my thoughts. Sorry to make you all read novels each time I post.
