Sweetmagnolia's recruitment story!

[sweetmagnolia]

Today was a scary day for me. During classes, I got a call from one of my Pi Chis, and I was honestly terrified. It turned out to be good news, though- I hadn't been cut from any other chapters ( I think she said it just to calm me down), but she was just calling about a slight scheduling changes. So, feeing fairly confident knowing that I still had my three groups, I made my way over for skit night. Since the skits were very unique, I'm going to skimp a little on the details- just a heads up.

Chicago was a group I was thrilled to still be with. We were walked into the room where we mingled for a bit before the skit happened. Their skit was really cute, but kind of all over the place. I didn't learn much about their chapter- it was mostly some fun facts about their organization as a whole -but I liked how they presented it. If the skit showed me anything, it was how much fun these women are and how strong their sisterhood is. Afterwards, our actives came over and got us and we sat in small circles and just chatted- nothing too spectacular. I left this chapter still completely smitten.

Los Angeles' skit was insane. When the active who was rushing me showed me to my seat she kept saying 'it's a little goofy', and she wasn't kidding. It touched on their motto and such, but it was really just fun and silly and sometimes a little weird. A lot of the time I didn't know what, exactly, was going on, but I couldn't stop laughing. When I left, I felt like I should have been disappointed because their skit didn't really teach me anything, but it did show me how much fun they are, how spirited they are, and how much they enjoy the recruitment process.

Miami really impressed me. They're a small group, and I was somewhat concerned about how they were going to pull off a skit. But, honestly, it was the best one of the night. It was original, well written, had it's goofy moments, but was clearly about the sisterhood of their chapter and organization. Still, the conversations I had with actives before and afterwards left me feeling cold enough that the skit only got me to lukewarm. I thought that maybe after talking to different sisters every night that I would have some sort of a breakthrough with this group, but I really wasn't feeling like this was the group for me.

Because I only had three chapters when I could have had a maximum of 4, I ranked them all one. And, as I speak, I'm getting ready for pref night!!! I'll let you know how it goes!!!
