Day 2: Philanthropy

This day I actually put a little more effort into my appearence. It was after a long day of classes and I was really tired. This day was optional but I decided to go. Each house had a craft but I won't bore you with those details because it's not really that important and I don't remember all of them to be honest. I met 2 girls walking to the student involvement center, one of them wanted to rush Margarita and the other Bellini. It was nice to make some friends because non of my friends were rushing.

-Lemon Drop: This was the first house I saw. I was really excited because I liked them the day before. Unfortunately, these girls barely talked to me. It was awkward because I had to ask all the questions about them and they didn't ask any about me...but seemed to have no problem making conversation with my new friend [the one who wanted to be a Margarita]. I felt really embarrassed and dissappointed...was I really that uninteresting? Needless to say I didn't stay very long at this house.

-Martini: This house was actually pretty friendly to me...I still wasn't really feeling them but it was a nice change after my bad expierence with Lemon Drop. I actually stayed at this house a fairly long time.

-Margarita: This house was really fun. All the girls were super friendly to me and asked me lots of questions about myself. I chatted with thier recruitment chair who said I would be an excellent addition to the house [which I know from going through as a rusher is something you should never say!] which made me feel really special.

-Bellini: This house was one I was really excited for. A lot of girls who I met the day before remembered me which was really cool. They all seemed so genuine and I felt that the conversation flowed really easily. I was really comfortable talking to them.

-Bahama Mama: This house was another good expierence. A lot of girls I met the day before seemed really excited to see me and we actually go to joking around. I felt really comfortable and excited to be at this house. I met one girl in particular that I had a good conversation with, we had a lot in common.

I had to rank at the end of today and i was completely torn between Bellini and Bahama Mama!

I decided to rank [on first instincts]:
-Bahama Mama
-Bellini
-Margarita
-Martini
-Lemon Drop [because I felt I had no hope anyway....]

Day 3: House Tours

This was the day I was most looking forward to! When I arrived to the designated spot, all of us pnm's were split into rush groups and given a rho gamma. I really liked my group [well, most of them anyway] and was stoked that both my new friends were in my group. Today houses got to cut so I was a little nervous, I got my list and it read:

-Bellini
-Lemon Drop
-Margarita
-Bahamma Mama

I got cut from Martini, which hurt a little bit even though I didn't want them because it was like saying [or so I thought at the time] that my personality wasn't good enough. I was confused as to why Lemon Drop kept me, but I was excited to get another chance.

-Bellini: They had a super cute house and I really liked that thier house tours were one on one. They were all super friendly to me and seemed really interested in me. the only thing I didn't like was that they kinda trash talked Bahama Mama and that wasn't cool. However, I actually found out I have some mutual friends with a lot of girls because a lot of my older guy friends from high school joined fraternities here so it was fun to have some common ground. I left feeling really optimistic, I knew I wanted to be a Bellini, I loved everything about them and they seemed to like me to.

-Lemon Drop: Thier house was absolutely gorgeous, which matched the girls themselves. This time it was 2 pnm's to 1 active. Unfortunately, the other pnm I was with was this cute little blonde cheerleader so I got completely ignored by the Lemon Drop...again! Seriously, was I that uninteresting? Why didn't they just put me out of my misery and drop me? I felt really awkward and just left feeling sad...my excitment from this round completely gone.

-Margarita: When I got to Margarita I tried to be friendly but I was still a little frustrated from my expierences with Lemon Drop. I probably was miserable to talk to at first but after I started talking to a few of the girls I started becoming more happy and I found out I actually had a lot in common with a lot of the girls.

-Bahama Mama: When I got to this house, I was a little disappointed because the physical house where they lived was my least favorite, but I figured I shouldn't make a decision based on that alone. I was still really excited about Bahama Mama and I felt really at home with the girls, a lot of them really remembered things about me and joked around with me.

I was still torn between Bahama Mama and Bellini but I ranked it like this:

-Bahama Mama
-Bellini
-Margarita
-Lemon Drop [I had still given up hope]

Who do you think invited me back for pref? Who do you think is APhi?

OK, I'll bite...or drink..if your story ends with a twist could it be Lemon Drop?
I'm just glad we know it has a happy ending!
