Good luck with tomorrow!
I'm nervous about having to actually find the rooms by ourselves!

Sounds like you had a lot of fun in the first round! You found something positive when you visited each chapter, and you sound like you're keeping an open mind even about the places you went where you weren't as comfortable. Good for you.

I wouldn't sweat your shirt being the same color as one of Aurelia's colors. It happens- the only color I don't believe any NPC sorority has for an official color is orange. As long as you're fitting in with the recommended attire for each day, wear what's comfortable and looks nice on you.

Good luck to both of you!

Second day done! The parties were 30 minutes today and most of the chapters did a little presentation to tell us more about their sorority. It was a long day, but overall lots of fun!

To be honest, it did hurt a little (ok, a LOT) when I saw my party schedule and saw that I had been cut from two houses that I really adored. I know it's not a personal attack but it still makes me question why it happened, what I did wrong...and it's making me dread the cuts that are yet to come. I have definitely developed preferences and I'm scared that my experience will end in disappointment. Here's hoping it does not!

Today I visited seven houses:

Tatiana-- these girls seem like SO much FUN!! They were all clapping and singing and I loved the positive atmosphere. Great music and pictures, cute theme, and most importantly I really liked the girls I talked to.

Gina-- I liked the girl I talked to today but I just don't feel a strong connection with this house. I will absolutely be open to them if I get invited back but right now I just don't know if this is the house for me. Cute song, though!

Cecilia-- I had a harder time in this house today because they took us in pairs (one active for two recruitment girls) and the other girl had the more "dominant" personality (not in a bad way). I didn't feel like I connected with the girls I talked to because I had a hard time balancing the conversation between me and the other girl. These girls were very sweet, though.

Stella-- I really liked this house!!!! The girls seemed really genuine and down to earth and their philanthropy rocks. I really felt like I clicked with the first girl I talked to, and the other two girls I talked to were also very friendly and down-to-earth.

Madeline-- I'm in love. Completely in love. I loved the girls I talked to today, love their philanthropy, loved the feel of the feel of the room, loved everything!!!! The thing is I misunderstood something one of the girls said as we were walking to the door and I said something really idiotic (not offensive, just stupid) so I'm worried I left a bad last impression and I'm worried I may not be invited back.

Evelyn-- Again, the girls were talking to two of us at once and the other girl and the active had a lot in common so I didn't feel like I connected with her as well as I could have. She was really nice, though, and clearly enthusiastic about her sorority!

Mia-- I really liked this house! I didn't feel like I clicked with these girls quite as well as I did with the girl I talked to yesterday but I still really, really like them and the feel of their sorority. These girls have gorgeous house colors and they are all so lovely.

5 houses max tomorrow. I'm really worried about cuts but I know that is just part of the process. In the end, I hope to end up in a sorority that I love, with girls that I can form lifelong friendships with, but I know the final decision (of accepting a bid or not) will be in my hands. It's just pretty hard along the way!!

Be positive! Don't prophesize bad things. Just keep an open mind. It is out of your control...just roll with it, girlfriend!

Cuts will happen, but something to keep in mind is that most girls won't have a full schedule everyday.

Also, a full schedule is not neccessary to get a bid.

I don't know if you'll be back to read this, but Alpha Gamma Delta is recolonizing at ASU in January. It's a completely different kind of experience to be part of a colony but you may want to consider looking into it. The recruitment experience is very different too. There are advantages and disadvantages to being in a colony, but you're building a sisterhood from scratch and there are leadership opportunities immediately too. It's just something else to consider, once you get over this initial disappointment.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. I was so bummed when they left ASU, I had some great friends who were/are AGD's at ASU. I'm thrilled they are recolonizing!!!!!

I knew girls from the previous AGD chapter (colony?) How exciting that they're coming back.
