With 18 houses and throwing away my Rush Guide many moons ago, I could only tell about 25% of of it. I can say that Alpha Gamma Delta was one of my favorites during Round 1, though.

I journaled about it [I know I'm a dork] so that helped a lot. And I keep everything, I never throw anything away! ;] I guess I'm also lucky we had fewer houses, I liked the small greek system my school had, but I think going to a big school with a huge greek system would be exciting!

Day 2

Day 2….
This took place on Sunday in the same venue and it was the day we learned about their philanthropy. I dressed quickly in a pair of shorts and a babydoll tank top

The first booth I was taken to was for Blue Moon. I was a little apprehensive about them because they seemed really standoffish. But after I got over my nerves I sucked it up and hung out with them for a little bit. They didn’t seem to interested in me and only really spoke to each other. But hey, some people are just nervous. I still thought they were ok.

I moved on to the next group, The Hearts. Although I had gotten along great with these girls the day before, today not so much. There were a ton of pnm’s of the table and the Heart’s seemed way more interested in them than me. Barely any of them spoke 2 words to me and it really made me feel like I was not good enough for them or they had decided to reject me all the sudden. I was heartbroken needless to say and since I felt so uncomfortable sitting there by myself not being talked to, I awkwardly excused myself to the next booth.

The next booth was the Clover’s. I wasn’t to stokked on them either, I pretty much got the same treatment from them That I got from Hearts. In my mind I was thinking am I dressed wrong? Did I say something offensive? What is going on? I made some conversation with a girl in the house who was actually really nice and I felt a little better.

I moved on to the Horse Shoes. I was really excited about this group and a ton of the girls came over, abandoning other pnm’s, to sit by me. These girls seemed super nice but I noticed that a few of them were subtly bad-mouthing other sororities and that turned me off. I had met girls that I could become close friends with from pretty much all the houses and I didn’t want to be in a house that was negative to other houses. I tried to shake it off and besides that had a blast with these girls.

Then finally I went to Star’s. These girls just seemed so genuine and a lot of them came over to talk to me, saying they had “heard of me”. I was hoping this was a good thing. I soon realized that I was sitting by 3 other pnm’s who were legacies and they all seemed pretty cool. But what if the house liked them better than me?
At the end of the night, The sororities would chose which girls would be allowed the go on house tours at their house, but we didn’t get to rank them. I left feeling apprehensive but still good about a few of the houses.

I had to wait until Friday to go on house tours and let’s just say, it was a long week!
