Day THREE- Philantropy Day
So today we could get called back to a total of six houses. I knew I wouldn't have a full schedule and was so thankful i didn't get a call from my rho gam telling me I was dropped. I showed up a little late to the meeting room and I could already tell it was not going to be a good day for a lot of girls. Many of the girls in my walking group were angry or sad. So i get my schedule and what do I see?

I was happy that I had two of the houses I had liked but disappointed that I only had two. I felt like such a loser and really wanted to cry until I started talking to other girls in my group. Only a few girls had full schedules and they were all freshman. Many complained that their bottom two houses were in their schedules. My friend Tink only had aurora, jasmine, and alice. She had ranked alice in her bottom the night before and she was upset she only had three. Lily also only had 3! This suprised me the most because to me she screamed perfect sorority girl with dance team, really high gpa and freshman grade. Lily had aurora, jasmine, and belle. She was realllly angry. She only wanted belle and the other two had been her bottom ranked the night before. So i realized as a junior I did ok compared to people who might be viewed as more desirable. Almost every girl in my walking group had alice, aurora and jasmine which made me a little uneasy because they would have to cut more after tonight.
Jasmine- So i had really enjoyed my chat with the fellow gc'er the day before and liked being one on one here. Unfortunately I was paired with another pnm here to one active. We went to look at a poster for their philantrophy but it was pretty crowded so I didn't really see much. This house did the most philanthopries of all the houses which I though was pretty cool. The other pnm I was with began talking about her church and religion stuff with the active and while im catholic and proud of it, they were both of a different religion than myself. I also knew that bible was one of the four b's that pnm's shouldnt talk about during recruitment. The active didnt seem to mind the religious talk though. I felt uncomfortable during this conversation like I shouldn't be there. The active also told me I was brave for going through as a junior which was kind of weird. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I also didn't get to do the craft and i'm a big craft person so i had been looking forward to that. I still liked this house even though I had a not so great philanthopy day.
Aurora-So by the time I got to Aurora I was feeling pretty bad about my situation but I tried to smile and be happy. Here i was one on one which i loved. The active showed me a poster, a scrapbook and shirts from their philanthropy. We then got to do the craft which was stuffing teddy bears from the build a bear factory. I loved this craft it was so adorable and fun. The active was also really cool, we had the same major and a lot to talk about. I also got introduced to a few more actives at the craft table. Overall I had a really good time stuffing teddy bears and could definitely see myself here.
So after my parties I talked to my rho gam(an aurora) about my options and although I had had fun at aurora I wasn't very confident in my prospects because of my grade level. I knew the colony wanted older girls for sure but i would have to withdraw from formal before pref if I was interested in the colony. I obviously didnt have to rank or anything because i only had two houses. What happens on day 4? I think i'll make you wait but I will say that a lot of weird things start to happen.
