Day 3. Sisterhood Day.

I got cut by Scorpio and Gemini.

I was really heartbroken at this point because I loved Gemini, but I still had another sorority which I loved as well, Virgo. So I kept my hopes up that I would be seeing Virgo on my list tomorrow. I had an idea why Gemini cut me. I kept thinking about “what if I said this instead of that” but there is no turning back now. I think my ΠΧ saw that I was a little disappointed but I got invited back to Capricorn, Sagittarius, and Virgo.

Capricorn – Since this was my first house, I wasn’t thrilled especially since the last two days of recruitment wasn’t that great. As soon as their doors opened, I remembered them having the cutest outfits and again, I think they were the loudest as far as chanting goes. My ears were ringing! Anyways, I talked to quite a few Capricorns and I think this day was the best out of all the FR days and my thoughts about them completely changed. I enjoyed talking about bigs and littles and what Capricorn meant to them. The president then made a speech about Capricorn and how she couldn’t imagine being without her sisters. At that point, it really hit my heart. I felt myself getting emotional. They started playing a video for all the PNMs to watch. There was pictures of Capricorn’s laughing, at sports events, philanthropy events, socials, Capricorn’s hugging and while the video was playing the Capricorn’s were all screaming “woo hoooo” “Yayaaa!” “Awww….” I actually enjoyed it, some sisters started tearing up. When I saw this I did too… and eventually started crying. After the video, the president personally handed me some tissues and kneeled down and asked me if I was okay. I told her I was and then began telling my rusher that I can just tell that this sisterhood is strong and that is something I’ve always wanted. It was time to go and I really didn’t want to leave.


Sagittarius –This was my next house and I was just blown away by Capricorn’s video, the president’s speech, and the members had such a big influence on me that I thought that Sagittarius wouldn’t compare to Capricorn. When I walked in, I started talking to many members of Sagittarius and during the time I was talking to everyone, at least 3 girls came up to me and told me how happy they are to see me here and 1 girl waved hi to me. I felt like I was wanted and since I do like attention… having so many girls come up to me saying how happy they are to see me and how they remembered me just made me feel so so happy inside. I noticed that my conversations with the members of Sagittarius was so natural and I enjoyed them. They also showed a video, but I didn’t cry to it. lol

Virgo – I only talked to 2 rushers I believe and both of them were sweethearts. They told me how much Virgo meant to them, their favorite memories, how their AC broke and they were sweating their butts off lol. It WAS really hot in there lol. The president made a speech about Virgo and her sisters and then we watched a video. This video also made me cry. I think it was the combination of the music and the photos, they did a really good job with it. I told my rusher that I don’t cry easily (and it’s true) and seeing other sisters cry makes me so emotional, I really don’t know why! Lol. Their president said farewell to us and she cracked some jokes which made us laugh.

We are only allowed to be invited to 2 sororities on Pref Day and my decision was tough, especially between Sagittarius and Capricorn. I was so torn between these two. So I based my rankings from today and the past 2 days.

1.Virgo
1.Sagittarius
2.Capricorn
