Okay, maybe that last post was a little evil. Instead I'm going to tell you a bit about the Gamma Chi group and feelings.

Everyone shall have a false name.
Daisy really loved Mad Hatter. She couldn't see herself anywhere else. She was invited back to Mad Hatter and Jabberwocky. She liked Jabberwocky, but LOVED Mad Hatter.

Victoria loved Caterpillar. She adored them. Her experience there was different than mine. We aren't really friends, but we chatted.

Angel really liked Jabberwocky and Caterpillar even though they are very different. She was a little miffed that before recruitment started she attended a party and was asked to leave by sorority girls because they weren't allowed to socialize with PNMs. She felt she had the same right to be there because it wasn't their house. She left, but only after someone who did live in the house asked her to leave.

Cherie liked Jabberwocky and Queen of Hearts. If she wasn't invited back to them, she was dropping. She had her heart set on them from the slideshows. She hated Cheshire because of their colors.

Donna K did like Mad Hatter, but disliked one of the girls "in power" (I don't remember her position) so very much. She ranked them last but was invited back then was cut the next day. She was a legacy to them.

Chloe She was nice, but super negative about everything. She didn't tell her favorites, but disliked Cheshire and Queen of Hearts.

There were other people in the group, of course. We all got along very well and hopefully some of us remain great friends. Perhaps some are sisters of mine, I guess you will have to wait and see.

The person who can guess the theme of names here wins. The prize is nothing, sorry. Perhaps bragging rights?

Perfumes are correct. Was it the Donna K or the Cherie that gave it away?

Hehehe. I love perfume bottles, they're all so pretty. Some of the scents, however, yikes.

Now I'll continue with the story.
I was still a little bummed about being cut from Queen of Hearts but it wasn't earth-shattering, perhaps just a little disappointment.

Round 3
The dress today is a college shirt.
I was so paranoid of being cut, I was ready to be surgically attached to my phone in case the dreaded Call was made. My roommate's effort to cheer me up was: "You don't want to pay for your friends anyway, they're all snobs."

I did not receive the call, instead I went to the student union to meet with my group to get my invites. I was invited back to only one party:
Jabberwocky
Mad Hatter had cut me. I was a bit sad, but Jabberwocky is still a favorite and had been well liked all through recruitment. I can't guess why Mad Hatter cut me. Perhaps it was the massive nosebleed I had in class while sitting next to one, maybe I wasn't pretty enough, maybe I wasn't personable enough, perhaps I was on their list but too low, or perhaps I just wasn't a good fit. It doesn't matter. They had invited me to one party, so it wasn't as if they completely hated me. Plus I still had a group that liked me!

Daisy was invited to return to Mad Hatter and Jabberwocky.
Victoria was invited back to the maximum, including Caterpillar.
Angel was invited back to the maximum, including Jabberwocky and Caterpillar.
Cherie was invited back to Mad Hatter and Cheshire.
Donna K was invited back to Jabberwocky.
Chloe: I honestly do not remember which groups invited her back.

I went to my party and the Jabberwocky girl was one I chatted with yesterday. After the party I felt that perhaps being cut from Mad Hatter wasn't so bad because it made my choice easier and I wasn't so torn. Another girl I talked to had the cutest jewelry. Which made me realize.... I forgot my earrings back in my dorm room! One girl sat down with me and told me why she loved Jabberwocky as we colored our philanthropy craft. We joked a bit about our poor artistic skills, particularly when the flower I was coloring turned out brown due to the paper being colored.
The downside was I still felt like I was straining my voice to be heard because it was loud in there.
Too soon the party was over and I went back to the computer and ranked Jabberwocky as my first and prayed they liked me as much as I liked them.

Cherie withdrew from recruitment after tonight's parties. Our Gamma Chi encouraged her to stay, but she had made up her mind. I felt bad for her, but she didn't want to go back again.
I found out later that Angel had also withdrew tonight, but for financial reasons.

"Tomorrow" night is Pref and we had to put together our own outfit. I had brought two dresses with me and a few shoes. The day after is, of course, Bid Day, which took a surprising turn when we opened our envelopes...

We know.

Haha, Greek Chat was really the only place I had to express my nerves. All I said to my roommate was "I'm a little nervous they won't like me." Everyone else said they were amazed at how calm I was!

I painted my nails to try and relax, but then I'd mess them up and have to start over again. My nails were maroon yesterday.

Do you get them from nerves? I used to be like that too. I VIVIDLY remember getting one right after I started school in the middle of the caf - while holding a full tray of food and nowhere nearby to set it down - and getting blood all over my pink sneakers. Not sure if anyone else noticed, but I was completely mortified.
