A girl scout cookie recruitment!

[girlscout21]

Okay! So this morning we had to wake up super early. I was so nervous. I was afraid I was gonna get major cuts. I thought they only invited me back to the second round because I had recs, and they were planning on releasing me after that. Today we could go to a maximum of 5 houses.
When I got my schedule I saw that I had:

Samoas
Tagalongs
Trefoils

The Lemonades had dropped me. Just as I was starting to really REALLY like them. I was heartbroken at first. Thin Mints also dropped me and I really liked them too. But I was mostly bummed about Lemonades because I thought things were going really well when I was there! Oh well.

So here is how today went!

Samoas- First house of the day. I was still in a sulky mood because I didn't get invited back to my top two favorites. Then I realized that was stupid. I REALLY liked this house and the two others I was going to later. When I went inside, I had already forgotten about my disappointment over the Lemonades house. I had a really fun time. Their skit was funny and their house was gorgeous. I really got along with the girls and they seem to like me.

Tagalongs- Today in this house, I just had this feeling that I was where I belong. I fit in with these girls. I can see myself getting along with every single one of them. They are funny and down to earth and they all seem to love each other. During their skit, I just got the feeling that I knew this is where I belonged. So lets hope I don't experience another heartbreak again tomorrow! Although, you never know how I may feel after tomorrow night. Yesterday, I was convinced I would be a Lemonades girl, now I want to be a Tagalongs girl.

Trefoils- Okay, I know you all are rooting for the Trefoils because they are the underdogs and because I was able to look past their completely untrue reputation. But I just don't think it is the house for me. Its a gut feeling that I just didn't get like when I was at the Tagalongs house. It was still fun, so obviously I wouldn't be upset if I got invited back to pref, but I just feel more at home in Tagalongs and Samoas.

So at selections, this is what I did:

Houses I would like to return to:
Samoas
Tagalongs

Houses I would like to return to if my first choice does not invite me back:
Trefoils

Also, I was hoping to get a little advice for preference night. Assuming I still feel the same way about the Tagalongs house, is there an appropriate way to let them know how I feel? Today I said how happy I was to be back. But tomorrow I would like to let them know how seriously I feel about them. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

Once upon a time, long before computer and Greekchat advise, I went through recruitment. Our rush counselor told our group to make sure that we let the house know we were very interested when we went to Pref Night. The girl who was rushing me was told by the house to rush me hard and find out exactly how I felt. Well.... we were sitting on the couch and she asked "What are you looking for in a house.?" I looked right into her eyes and replied, "this house." The rest of the evening we were able to relax and enjoy our conversation. Although I was going to rank the 2 houses (I never heard of suiciding since I was the first in my family to go through rush), I knew that if my invite said the other house the next day I would not sign my bid card (we signed them upon getting our actual bid). I got the house I wanted!

Good luck with the rest of your recruitment.

You know what?, this is what recruitment is all about. It is ok that you don't feel comfortable with Trefoils. I think we were just all so impressed that you could look beyond all the nasty things other girls were saying. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Preference night- my advice tell them you like them.
