Day 1 of recruitment continues...
Strawberry: Marie, one of the ridiculous gossips, was in my group, if you remember. She tried to walk with me on the way to
Strawberry, but I was not having it. I tried to ignore her and get away from her, and I think she noticed because she kept shooting me dirty looks all the way to way to
Strawberry and all throughout the party. The girl who was rushing me noticed the dirty look from Marie and whispered something to one of the actives. I couldn't tell if it was about me or Marie. I really hoped it was about Marie and not me because I really loved this house. I had a great conversation with all three girls that rushed me. It was never awkward, and most of the time we were laughing our heads off about a professor we all shared. At one point in time, there were four actives talking to me at once. I felt on top of the world! Especially when I saw Marie glowering at me - rumor had it she really wanted to be a Strawberry, maybe even as much or more than a Starfruit.The party ended, and I was SO sad to leave. But it was time for...Cherry, Jena's favorite house!
Cherry: This house was just as beautiful as
Peach. Ivy grew up the side of the house and it looked as I imagined a sorority house to look like. The girls in this house were beautiful, as well. I noticed, though, that about 90% of them were tall and slender and brunette - I could see why Jena loved
Cherry. She really looked like she could be a
Cherry. As it turns out, the girl that rushed me,
Josie, had also rushed Jena! She said that Jena was a perfect match for
Cherry and that she thought I would be, too! After that I felt on top of the world! We had an amazing conversation - I felt SO connected to
Josie. I was bumped 2 more times and felt as strong connections with those actives as I did with Josie. Before I knew it, there was another sorority that would give
Peach a run for its money.
Grape:
This sorority was actually a local sorority on my campus that had just started ten years ago. As a result, they were VERY small - some PNMs were
triple rushed! Unheard of, right? Their numbers were small, and it was definitely obvious that they were struggling. I tried so hard not to let their small numbers affect me but it was difficult when my rusher was so awkward, and seemed so desperate.
The rest of Day 1 tomorrow! I'm so sorry it's taking me so long to write it all! I promise the rest of the posts will be much longer
