My Midwestern Recruitment Tale

[ohMycron]

Day 1 of Round 2 began with a BIT of a disturbance. I arrived to where my Rho Chi group met (I was back with them again, as my class schedule was not a problem. Tomorrow it was back to half-parties!) to find a girl screaming at a Rho Chi. She actually took her high heels off, chucked them at the building (thank god not at the Rho Chi! they were super pointy stilletos!) and stormed off with threats to "Call the NPC chairwoman! She'll tell you you're WRONG! She'll shut this whole CAMPUS down." I found out in a whisper from Friend Who Knew Everything that she had been dropped from recruitment. Not one house wanted her.
(I sincerely hope this girl is NOT on GC, because w/o a doubt she will know who she is.)
I broke out in a sweat. If she, she who knew everything about recruitment and had the cutest clothes and perfect makeup, was dropped, I didn't stand a chance!

I opened my envelope with shaking hands. I found:
*Swimming
*Volleyball
*Gymnastics
*Basketball
*Cycling

I was thrilled! Not only had ONE house wanted to see me again, but FIVE had. I was a little sad not to see Rowing: they had been my favorite, but didn't care! I thought I liked all the others. Cycling was the only one not happy to see. But I would give them another try.

When Miss Dressed-in-Head-to-toe-With Swimming's Colors asked me about how many invites I got and I told her, she snickered and said "Poor Child." I didn't know it sucked to be under the 7 estimated. She seemed even more irritated when she found out WHO had invited me back.

I realized why when I saw her the next day. No more Swimming Colors for her....
