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!!
