Fall 2010 SEC Sophomore Re-Rush

Round Three: Skit/Philanthropy

For this round, we could visit up to six chapters. I received invites to:

(1) Selena Gomez
(4) Pink

I was really shocked to go from ten to two invites. I was also really upset that my very favorite chapters had cut me; I felt like I really clicked with the girls I talked to there. But mostly I was worried that I’d be released tonight. But I still had two chapters, which is two more than many girls.

Selena Gomez: I loved their skit! I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. I really like this chapter. I also really enjoyed seeing their philanthropy video, which showed how they support their national philanthropy.

Pink: The skit started off kind of slow, but I ended up really enjoying it! I also liked that their philanthropy video showed both how they support their national philanthropy and how involved they are in campus and local philanthropic organizations.

After skit/philanthropy round, we list our top three and rank the others. Because I had less than three invitations, I did not have to rank.

I enjoyed both parties I attended today but am really nervous that I’m going to get “the call” tonight.

Good luck, and I hope your phone doesn't ring!!

So true. This is absolutely the right way to look at things.

Glad you enjoyed both skits!

Your honesty about your visits to the different chapters, while still staying classy and kind, is really refreshing. Good luck to you!

Preference Round

I didn’t get a call, so I put on my black dress and headed to preference. When I got my schedule it read:

Pink

I was so upset that Selena Gomez had cut me. I was so sure I would either be invited back to both parties or released from recruitment; I never imagined I’d be left with only one party.

It took me a while to calm down, but luckily I had a break between getting my schedule and going to Pink. I just had to get over the shock of only having one preference party and remind myself that this was one party more than I had this time last year and that it was one party more than many girls had.

Also, I had to remind myself of what I’d been telling the freshman who asked me about reputations all week: that this is SEC U and all the sororities rock.

Pink: I really, truly enjoyed their preference ceremony. I also really liked the girl I was paired with for this round; I could just tell how much she loved her sorority.

After my party I wrote down Pink and signed my pref card. My recruitment counselor told me she’d call tonight if I mismatch.

Tomorrow is the first day of class with bid day in the evening! Fingers crossed once again for no call!

You said in your first post that you just finished recruitment, but this later post sounds live. Is it just me that is confused?

I believe she is finished with recruitment, but is writing her thoughts as she had them on each day. I say this because she posted two updates yesterday, one that ended with "Keep your fingers crossed that I don't get released" and then another a little bit later that had the houses she visited the next day.

I'm really enjoying this story! I hope I can have a nice positive outlook like this during my upcoming rush.
