So I can tell this has certainly incited interest on both sides of the spectrum. A few things regarding the prayer. I'm not really sure what this was but, for me someone who's not particularly religious there was use of the word God. I wasn't offended, if anything just proud of them for allowing that to be such a strong part of their sisterhood, but I was surprised it was as apparent as it was. It probably wasn't meant to be, but I just happened to notice.
The end of the first half of this story is upon us. (Yes "first half") So, without further ado....
The beginning of Day 3 was actually the only day after a full day of classes, so I was kind of tired (I tended to tire easily those days...I was ill...another story entirely). And my friend who had been the one who encouraged me to go through rush dropped!
This made me sad, but it confirmed what I had originally thought I would have been surprised if she decided to pledge a house in the end. But it didn't matter because I had met some great girls in my rush group along with the rest of the process.
So this began with the house I'd been waiting for the entire time I was rushing. It was the first thing I'd seen when I came to visit the campus as a Senior and anyone on campus will tell you the house is nothing but the epitome of elegance.
[COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]Gone With The Wind[/COLOR]: All of the girls in my rush group were incredibly nervous, including myself. I didn't really know what to expect. I walked into the dining room where I was met up with a very sweet girl next door girl again. Which totally inspired me and changed my opinion about the entire chapter instantly. We took a tour through the house with its beautiful carpeting and layout. Then we went down into the chapter room which was incredibly cozy. I got such a warm fuzzy calm feeling being in this house which was great because it settled my nerves. I would have loved to have been a part of them. They seemed so nice and they seemed to like me, but I really doubted I would have been asked back due to competition. Would have been an honor though.
A League of Their Own: When I walked into this house I just felt...sad. Like not disappointed because they were mean, but almost like they really needed me. The house was new to them and they were all SO incredibly nice. The house wasn't much of a mention. And I wasn't sure how long they'd stay there since the chapter was so small so I didn't really think much of it. I had a really great connection with these girls. The girl who rushed me seemed to be saying in not so many words. "Please pledge us!!! Please!! We really need you!!!" And I really liked them. I left feeling like I could have a really strong future leadership wise in this chapter.
And last but certainly not least I reached

Clueless: This house was beautiful much like Gone with the Wind. I came in and every single girl was gorgeous. I thought right off I had a strike against me, but I could have been wrong. I didn't have great conversations with the girls in this house. They seemed a little cold, but I guarantee they were tired as this was the last house on the last day. We watched a video with the Legally Blonde theme (finally!! I thought at the time with it being so current that this would have happened more than it did, so bravo for actually doing it!) The house was cute and when we went upstairs one of the girls in the room had set up a separate little cove where her bed and personal space was! It was like an eave or something under a stair it was really really neat. So I figured these girls were creative, a bit stagnant, but definitely creative!
So now I was faced with a decision. I had 2 days to submit 6 out of 9.
So, Tuesday passed. Then finally Wednesday. Wee! I went in in the morning before class to the Panhel office and filled out my form in order.
