Ok, yeah. I had "regretting" up there to mean ranking them low. But I'll try to remember to fix that for my next posts!



I woke up SUPER early the next morning. I swear I could hear sorority girl’s voices in my head from all the talking! After anxiously waiting my schedule, I got:

London
Barcelona
Tokyo
Rome
Paris
Los Angeles

I got ALL of the houses I wanted!!!!

London was so great! The sister told me that the girls who rushed me two days prior kept talking about me, so she was super excited to rush me! We made bracelets, but we were laughing at how bad mine was turning out. Their video did have a little bit of emphasis on partying, which it would be fun to do, but not ALL the time.

Barcelona was super cute! The girl who rushed me was great and when we were doing the craft we just took off talking and talked about our fantastic physics professor who we both love.

Tokyo was alright, and I was slightly disappointed. They were just meh. I could barely hear my rusher, and we didn’t really connect. I wasn’t very impressed with their philanthropy. They didn’t seem to be really into it. I didn’t know if it was the actual house I wasn’t impressed with any more, or the sisters I talked to today weren’t really great.

Rome was pretty good today. I really enjoyed how academic these girls seemed. We started to talk about Wicked and the sisters (there was two of them to me) just went off on it!

Paris was good. I was super surprised they invited me back. The sister was still super nice, and I didn’t feel like I was being judged superficially. We talked about our dogs back home which made the house seem more homey. I was also very impressed by their philanthropy.

The first part of Los Angeles was pretty fun. A girl from my dorm last year rushed me, so we just caught up on life (and occasionally shouted out the words “philanthropy” and “sisterhood”) so she wouldn’t get in trouble. She even told me to keep looking at her when my ex-roommate walked by and told me really honest things about the problems in that house between her and everyone else. The next girl I talked to was super awkward. I looked around and just couldn’t see myself here. It didn’t feel like home at all.

We could regret two. I just couldn’t see myself in Los Angeles having to deal with all the drama, so that was pretty easy. But I couldn’t choose between Tokyo and Paris. I was feeling a lot better about Paris and not as much Tokyo, however it was different from yesterday. My Rho Gamma from last year was standing right next to me during rankings and told me to think of the sorority where I could come down in my pj’s with no makeup on and eat breakfast. I could easily imagine myself at Paris, but I just couldn’t at Tokyo.

I also couldn’t decide which I liked better: Barcelona or London, but thankfully that didn’t matter at this point.

1. Barcelona
2. London
3. Rome
4. Paris

And the bottom ones I ranked--"regretted":
5. Tokyo
6. Los Angeles

Writing this just a few hours after recruitment ended for today, I still don’t know if I made the right decision ranking Paris over Tokyo. I feel like Paris is going to drop me anyways and I wouldn’t mind if Tokyo was there instead, but I still like Paris. Would I really feel more comfortable at Paris than Tokyo?

Eh, still not feeling good. But I thought I'd feed your craving

The next day one of my awesome Rho Gam’s gave me my schedule:
1. Barcelona
2. London
3. Rome
4. BREAK

I was super excited to have my top three. I really couldn’t picture myself at either Paris or Tokyo, so I wasn’t too upset over losing them and having the break.

Girls chatted about their favorite houses. So many of them absolutely loved Tokyo and Barcelona. I also heard many good things about Los Angeles as well. This made me feel good, because I knew I was basing my decision on where I felt at home, rather than the “tiers.”

Barcelona was so great! I got paired with a girl and we chatted the ENTIRE time. She asked about my mom, and said that she knew I had already gone through, so that made everything a lot less awkward. We just talked and went through the house, but she wasn’t pointing every little thing out, we would go into bedrooms so we could stop and talk even more with out clogging the halls.

London was interesting. I had such a good time earlier, but the girl I had today had a very different sense of humor. We walked around the house but she just showed me the rooms. I tried to start a conversation but she really wasn’t talking to me. She cut me off NUMEROUS times to show me another bedroom. Ugh. I had really enjoyed them the days prior, so I may have just been paired with a bad rusher.

Rome was good. I really liked their actual house, it was definitely my favorite of the day. The girl I had was good too. We had a lot of commonalities. However there were some awkward girls that I really didn’t feel comfortable with.

It was hard choosing between London and Rome. I had truly enjoyed London in the days prior, and didn’t feel so great today. While Rome I felt pretty good in everyday but I wasn’t super excited about the house.

So I ranked them
1. Barcelona
2. London
And I “regretted”
3. Rome

I had like all of them—they were my top three, so if one of them drops me and I get Rome instead, I wouldn’t be upset.

So far so good! Excited for your next post!
