Day Two:
Hannah, Christy, and I sped to the building where we were supposed to pick up our invites. At our school, you are supposed to wait until you get to your room, by yourself, to open your invites, they even posted pi chis around the campus housing to make sure you waited. So I got to my room, opened my envelope… and stood in shock. I had invites to Rory, Luke, and Miss Patty, but no Kirk. No Kirk? I freaked out. I couldn’t stop thinking that all of my friends in Kirk had always secretly hated me and they were laughing at me when I was in their party. I walked numbly into our living room, where Christy was smiling brightly and Hannah was sobbing. Christy had gotten invited back to all of the groups except Kirk, but she didn’t care about Kirk (and, BTW, she is now leaning towards Rory, because of their status on campus). Hannah had only gotten invited back to Miss Patty (I should mention that her gpa was less than great), and she was devastated because she thought her bf wouldn’t think she was hot anymore cause she couldn’t get into Rory. After a LOT of encouragement from my roommates and looking at all of the fun pictures that the other groups had on facebook, I decided that it would be my loss if I didn’t keep going through rush, and maybe I hadn’t connected to the other groups because I hadn’t WANTED to connect with them. Soooo….
Skit Night~ I wore a light pink sweater and a black skirt with a pink ribbon, with heels and pearls.
Miss Patty- They did a really cute skit about “Miss Patty and the City” and I love that show. For some reason, though, ever since that “I like country” comment, I was noticing that I wasn’t acting like myself around these girls, more like a more southern version of myself. However, I really wanted to be invited back to Miss Patty, because I knew it was where Hannah would probably go, and she was like my security blanket- I did everything with her.
Luke- Awesome skit “Hard Rock Luke”- I could tell that they were comfortable with each other and that they were just having fun. I had a wonderful conversation with a girl who reminded me a lot of my real sister. But, at one point, I kind of got surrounded by a bunch of sisters, and they all started talking about athletics/intramurals. I am not in any way an eye-hand coordination kind of person, and I stink at most sports. I felt kind of lost and left out. But overall, I liked them and I wanted to be invited back.
Rory- They did a skit kind of about Grease. I just remember sitting through this party and thinking “I can never be like these girls. We are cut from completely different cloth.” However, I kept on having these really good conversations with them, and they were all very sweet. Their skit did seem a little old-fashioned to me, I noticed all of the other groups had modern songs in their skits, but Rory’s was kind of boring, although cute.
When I got back from my parties, Hannah was completely freaking out; terrified that she wouldn’t get an invite back to Pref. Christy was now a die-hard Rory. They had also decided to start hating each other. Seriously, when I came back, they were screaming at each other over a dirty bowl. I just high-tailed it to my room and shut the door.
