It was really disappointing for me to see so many girls that were going through recruitment with me talking so horribly about some of the sororities. Girls kept asking me which I liked and what I was going to pick, but I kept just saying that I don’t know or I don’t remember because I didn’t want to get caught up in what they were talking about. It makes me sad that some of these girls could be in my potential pledge class. I wish they would have just all made their decisions on their own rather than relying on what others had to say.... sorry for the rant.

Yay, go Daffy!!!

And Nervousmama, if that was a "rant", it was the most controlled rant I've read on these boards. You have got to be one of the most level-headed PNMs I've ever heard of -- I wish we could replicate you and put you through all of our recruitments on all of our campuses! Keep having a good time and keep that open mind! You will surely find the house that's for you. Can't wait to hear the next results!!!!

When do you get your invites for the next party and when is the next round?
I second the comment on your "ranting". Rant all you want.

I GOT MY TOP 4!!!!
Bugs-
Daffy-
Yosemite Sam-
Porky-
!!!!

I went to daffy first....

Daffy- They were all about their philanthropy! Which I love because I defitely want to get involved. One girl was talking to me about someone passing away very close to her and I was telling her the same thing about someone passing away in my family that was very important to me. While I was telling my story (there were 2 girls), one girl kept talking to the people on the side of her and laughing. it kind of mad me sad because it was a very hard story for me to tell. The girl that was listening had to nudge her to stop...

Next came Yosemite Sam- I talked to the same girl I talked to about celebrity gossip etc. I really wished I could meet more girls because I wanted more feel from the houses.... but I'm happy I got to talk to that one girl more. She's a 4th year so it made me sad that she would be leaving the house as I just got into it... ya know?

Now Bugs...GORGEOUS decorations again! I definitely talked to alot of girls and got a great vibe from these girls. Everyone was so attentive and genuinely interested in what I had to say...

Finally Porky. When I walked in, one girl came to me and told me how this one other girl talked about me alot. She said that the girl was so sad the entire day when she didnt see me coming through the doors. She knew I was comming but didnt know exactily when. I eventually saw that girl and gave her a big hug. She is an amazing woman and I am blessed to have her think of me like that. Anyway, though I loved the girls I was talking to, i talked to the same ones I talked to the day before and I really wanted to get a feel for the entire house/

So I had to pick my top 2....
Bugs
Daffy

I know alot of you might wonder why not Porky/Yosemite Sam. In all honesty, I got to meet ALOT of girls from Bugs and Daffy and not so many in the other 2. I knew I would feel comfortable with many of the girls in Bugs and Daffy. So I choose them.

Pref is tomorro!

Congratulations on your top 4! You have a good attitude about the process and what you are looking for in a sorority. Even better, you don't feel strongly negative about any of your remaining options. Best of luck and may you find the perfect home!

Someone should educate that rusher that no matter how pressed you are for conversation topics, talking about your boyfriend and his drug habit is never a good idea with anyone you just met. That would definitely have thrown me for a loop.

Yeah, and not just for recruitment.

I remember we were given a whole list of topics to revert to when convos went dead and they did NOT include your boyfriend's drug problem. Sure it can get awkward but there are soooo many more things to talk about. When I got truly desperate, I'd talk about her classes and what she thought of the school.

Well that goes without saying right? Besides, you're not supposed to talk about boys or booze, so boyfriend's drug problem is implied.

honeychile · #42 09-18-2007, 09:21 PM

IT'S THE ULTIMATE MATCH UP!!!!!

I can't WAIT to hear how you feel about Pref!!!

nittanyalum · #43 09-18-2007, 09:42 PM

So glad you're having so much fun! You really are a breath of fresh air!!!

Oh, and Go Daffy!

Leslie Anne · #44 09-19-2007, 12:01 AM

Nervousmama, I'm so glad you're having a great time with Recruitment!!! You don't sound nervous anymore at all. You really do have a great attitude. I can't wait to hear what happens. Good luck and have fun!

violetpretty · #45 09-19-2007, 01:18 AM

Wait, do we know that she IS going to Bugs and Daffy for pref, or those are the ones she WANTS to go to for pref? (i.e. Does her school do accept/regret or preferential scheduling?) "I had to pick 2" could be construed as I had to pick 2 to rank as my top choices or I got invited back to 3 or 4 chapters that I went to for philanthropy round and I chose Bugs and Daffy. I just want to clarify before we get too excited.
