I'm sorry for not being around for so long. I've been having some issues with my roommate that involved a few things to mysteriously disappear. I haven't really had time or access to get on here. It's really tough to keep up with schoolwork without a laptop of my own, but I'm managing with a lot of library hours. I'm transferring schools. I need to get away, but wanted to wait until the end of the semester so I don't mess up my GPA.

Long story short: Had a slight accident which caused me to miss a party and at my school if you miss a party you are released.

I've made a few good friends and I'll miss them quite a bit when I leave.

ETA:
I'll go ahead and post the rest.

The next day was the Skit round. We could attend a maximum of three parties. I was invited back to Apple cake and Cheesecake. I was a little disappointed about this, I was really hoping for Gooey Butter and Cheesecake. Getting dressed was tough, I wanted to dress nice but on the other hand it was extremely hot outside and the houses were on opposite sides of campus. In the end I went with dressing nice and brought a pack of facial tissue to dab at sweat and a little bit of powder in case my makeup melted or something - luckily it stayed put and it wasn't a disaster.

Apple Cake
They greet us at the door with confetti. (That had to be a nightmare to clean after!) This time it was just one on one rather than one sister, two PNMs. We sat down and chatted before the skit. The girl asked me how I liked the other houses yesterday. Going against GC advice I mentioned I liked all the houses, although I had felt a little uncomfortable at one. The girl immediately knew which one and told me her friend was in that house and liked to scare PNMs. Oh, how nice? (You'd think she'd be a little more careful, all it takes is the wrong person.)
This girl wasn't the "drunk" type I met the night before. She was nice, classy, and considerate. I really liked her and she seemed like a lot of fun. When it was time for the skit everyone sort of gathered around to watch with our snacks.
The skit was cute, simple. It was centered around their philanthropy and the things they did for it. It was short and sweet, though one girl kept forgetting her lines, I'm sure she was nervous. They did another skit, only this one was about sisterhood and what being an Apple Cake meant to them. It was really sweet.

All in all it wasn't bad, but I wasn't sure I really wanted to join this one.

Cheesecake
I was thrilled to be returning to this one! Standing outside the house in line I could feel butterflies but at the same time I was glad to be back.
They greeted us on the entrance steps of their house, giving each of us a bottle of water. It was much appreciated. Inside they asked us if we wanted any other refreshments. Like the previous house we sat around chatting for awhile before the skits started. This house rotates girls and I was happy there weren't any awkward silences. Really nice girls.
Their skit was really funny, although there were a few tearful moments as they did skits about their philanthropy, their sisterhood, and the sorority's history. I really hoped to be a part of this one. Their skit was long, but it wasn't boring. It ended right where there really wasn't time for two but we did sit around chatting. A girl across the room dropped her water but it was fine.
As we left a sister from the night before came up to say hi, which I thought was nice of her, I felt so welcome.

The next day....Pref Parties!
They were to be in the evening so it was cooler. At the risk of sounding self-centered, I must say I loved my dress. GC's advice on the cover-up for the scars on my leg worked like a charm. The next morning I got up, received my invite: Just Cheesecake tonight. It doesn't matter I was only invited back to one, I was happy! The place I felt at home wanted me back! We could attend a maximum of two parties.

I went out for the day and met with a couple of new friends at the park. We headed back with about 3 hours to spare so we'd have time to eat something, get dressed, and head over early to the center. Except on the way back I was rear ended at a red light. I wasn't seriously injured, but it was enough to take me to the hospital and get a few stitches. Unfortunately I was there for so long I had to miss the party. I called the recruitment center to let them know I was dropping out and that was that. I was a little upset, but it wasn't the end of the world.

Day after one of the girls from Cheesecake came up to ask me what had happened and wanted to know if something was wrong because I seemed happy with them. I was encouraged to participate in COB events, which I was going to do, although I've been having current roommate issues and I need to get away so I'm withdrawing when the semester ends. I'm at home at the moment and it's nice to be back, even though I'm headed back to school on Sunday.

Wow, I'm sorry that all of these things have happened. Best of luck sorting out your roommate issues and starting at your new school.

I hope you don't feel that you have to leave this school solely because of a roommate issue. It's not unusual for girls to switch rooms and roommates at the end of the first semester.

Good luck to you!

exactly. First thing, find out about being moved. You shouldn't have to deal with that for even a day and the school should be pretty helpful on that. Second, do the COB. You loved them, they obviously liked you. And it wasn't perfectly clear if your chapters are housed, but there's always a chance (rules vary) that the chapter would allow you to move in right away. In general I'm not a fan of that (in my experience the girls who moved in as pledges didn't get as good of grades), but if you have to move anyway, maybe this is an option for you.

Best of luck!
