Round 2: Philanthropy/Sisterhood (can go to a max of 5 houses, if invited to that many.)
So I woke up on Round 2 day anxious to see how many houses invited me back. I got my schedule, and discovered that I had been invited back to 5 houses! I was shocked that I had been invited back to so many, but I was excited, especially because I had been invited to my top three choices!

Little Red Riding Hood
Dorothy
Little Bo Peep
The Queen of Hearts
Alice in Wonderland

I wasn't looking forward to Little Bo Peep, though :/

First up was Little Red Riding Hood: This was the house I was most excited for, because it had been my favorite yesterday. I fell in love with it all over again! The girls had put together a slide show about their philanthropy and sisterhood. They all worked really hard on their philanthropy, and it looked like they had so much fun together! I had good conversations here, and this house was still on the top of my list.

Dorothy: I was also so excited for this house, because I had loved it almost as much as Little Red Riding Hood yesterday. However, it slipped a little down my list today. They didn't seem as in to their philanthropy, which was a turn off, because I've always been in to helping others. I had good conversations though, so I still decided to keep this house as a top choice.

Little Bo Peep: I almost skipped this house, just because the girls seemed rude. Their slideshow showed that they did do a lot with their philanthropy, however, and they looked like they had fun together. I liked it better than I had yesterday, but I just didn't feel like I belonged in this house.

The Queen of Hearts: This house wasn't my favorite yesterday, but I still liked it. But I liked it as much as Little Red Riding Hood today! They were so into their philanthropy, and through their pictures on their slideshow and the way they interacted with each other, I could tell they were all close. I love, love, lovedd this house.

Alice in Wonderland: I had thought that this house was okay, but I hated it today. One of the girls said about the philanthropy: "It can be a pain, but it's required, ladies!" Which was just a huge turn off. They didn't seem as close knit as the other houses: it just looked like they partied together and that was all. Their presentation wasn't good, and I left the house with a bad impression.

At the end of the day, I ranked the houses like this:

Little Red Riding Hood
The Queen of Hearts
Dorothy
Little Bo Peep
Alice in Wonderland

Round 3 will be posted superr soon!

If this is formal rush, skipping parties you are scheduled to attend can get you eliminated from rush and remove any chance of getting a bid from ANY sorority. Just saying is all, in case anyone reading the story gets confused.

Haha I know. That'd be why I didn't actually skip it

Round 3: Skit night!

I woke up on skit night anxious and excited to see which houses I was invited back to. I was in for a major dissappointment, though. I had only been invited back to 3 houses, on a night where there was a max of 4. I had been invited back too:

Little Red Riding Hood
Little Bo Peep
Alice in Wonderland

I was SO crushed. My second and third choices were gone, and the only house I liked left was Little Red Riding Hood! If they didn't take me, I didn't know if I would be joining a sorority. I tried to keep my head up, though, and was excited because I was going to Little Red Riding Hood first!

Little Red Riding Hood: Their skit was sooo cute! They did this like fifties diner thing: they even had a juke box prop and stuff, and the girls were looking at the menu trying to decide what "meal" (sorority) would be best for them. They had like poodle skirts on and stuff, but it might sound cheesy on here, but it was so awesome. I loved it, and it just made me want to join this house more. I would be so crushed if they dropped me.

Little Bo Peep: I don't even remember their skit that well, I just remembered that one of the girls was really snobby in it or something. Nothing memorable.

Alice in Wonderland: They redeemed themselves tonight. Their skit was cute, it was basically like girls trying to find the right fit for themselves and it had something to do with fashion. I don't exactly rememeber all the details, but I remembered that I liked it. The house definetly seemed better tonight!

So, at the end of the night, my house choices were this:

Little Red Riding Hood
Alice in Wonderland
Little Bo Peep

I'll just go ahead and post round 4 lol.

Round 4- Prefernce Night!
I woke up SOOO incredibly nervous. If I didn't get an invite to Preference Night by Little Red Riding Hood......

I found out though, that I had been invited back to two houses:
Little Bo Peep
and....



Little Red Riding Hood!!!
I started jumping up and down: I actually had a chance to get into my favorite house!!

First up was Little Bo Peep: I was so suprised. I had a really good time at preference night here. The girls were much more welcoming tonight, I wasn't sure if they had been stressed from planning rush before or not. I had awesome conversations, and clicked really well with a member of the house I had just somehow not managed to talk to before. I still didn't like this house as much as Little Red Riding Hood, but I actually felt like there was a chance I could belong here.

Little Red Riding Hood: This house was amazing. Hands down. The party was so fun, I didn't want to leave. I wanted to be a part of this house SO badly. End of story.



I wasn't sure which house would give me a bid, if one even did. I had awesome conversations at both houses. All I could do was pray that Little Red took me.



The next morning I found out that I got a bid...........


ANY GUESSES AS TO WHICH HOUSE GAVE ME A BID??? )!
