Round Two:
St. Elmo’s Fire: This group had a picnic theme. They all dressed in Laura Ashley dresses, and they’d decorated with quilts on the floor and served lemonade and gingerbread cookies. I had a chance to talk to the girl from my state who I’d met at the meet and greet, and she was a lot of fun.
Pretty in Pink: Their theme was really cute and clever, though I can’t describe it without giving away the group. The skit was really funny, too. I met lots of great girls here, though at the end I was one on one with a somewhat quiet girl who nervously picked at her face. One of the other sisters jumped in to save her.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A fun slumber party theme here! I spent most of the party talking to a pretty blonde girl who was a little sister at one of the big fraternities. She was wearing a Lantz flannel night gown, and we sat on the floor on sleeping bags. I wished I could meet more members, though I tried to be really friendly and make a good impression on her.
Footloose: You could tell that this group was working really hard to put its best foot forward, even though they were smaller. They had a French theme, and passed puff pastry hors d’oeuvres and mini quiches on trays. I was sad for them that there had been a short line outside the front door before the party began, because they really seemed friendly and nice.
Valley Girl: I don’t remember the theme of this party, since I was stuck in a corner with another rushee. She was a bit abrasive, and tried to dominate the conversation with every sister that we met. Unfortunately, she succeeded in most cases. (And she became a member of the Valley Girl pledge class.)
Breakfast Club: Again, I had a blast here! These girls were so easy to talk to. Even though it was the end of the day, they had such great energy. They had a sports theme, which was cute, cute, cute. I didn’t think I’d really fit in here, but still had a great time. Roommate was a legacy at Breakfast Club through her mom, and she planned on cutting them after this round so that her mom wouldn’t start to get any ideas about their being in the same sorority. They didn’t have the best relationship.
The next day we met with our Rho Chi’s. We could go to four parties, and I’d been invited back to six. When I crossed off Breakfast Club and Footloose, she said “Well, that was quick.” I replied “Well, I really know which one I want.” After rush I found out she was a Footloose. Ouch.
Note to PNMs: This was really obnoxious behavior on my part, and looking back I'm a little embarrased that I was so sure that I was going to get my choice.
