The next day:
Ahh, tonight was SO much fun! All of the sororities and fraternities had a party together—well, a bunch of them and some potential new members stood around in individual groups talking mostly to themselves in a big room with snacks and music. I had a good time, but definitely felt torn.
A girl from Sephora had called me and asked me if I wanted to meet up with some of them before heading over, so, not wanting to be rude and/or offensive, I accepted. I ended up feeling like I was marked once I was there, though, which was awkward.
Right when we walked in, a girl from Coach whom I talked to yesterday came up and started talking to me, gently prying me away from the group of Sephora girls. She introduced me to a few of her Coach sisters, and I had lovely conversations with three or four girls.
After awhile, one of the Sephora girls came to ask me if I wanted to join some of them in a game, so I was pried away again. Just as that happened, the girl from BCBG whom I’ve been talking to got there and gave me a big hug and then a song came on that everyone danced to. After everyone stopped dancing, she introduced me to a few of her BCBG sisters, but no real conversations came of the introduction, so I drifted back over to the Sephora girls—I felt like since I had shown up with them it would be a bit rude to only talk to other groups.
The Sephora ladies then announced that they would be going to one of the cafeterias on campus for dinner and dessert and asked if I wanted to join them. I said I did, but I wanted to talk to the ladies from Tiffany’s before we left because I really did want to talk to them and also not to seem as though I was ignoring them. I talked to the same two girls I met yesterday, and also met two more of their sisters, and, while sadly too brief, had an awesome conversation with them!
I had an AMAZING time at dinner with the Sephora ladies—I met one girl who had been on my team for the past few years (but isn’t anymore) and it turns out she and I have SOOO much in common it was almost creepy! I had a great time with the ladies and got to meet some of the other potential members, who were all really cool.
About thirty minutes after we got there, the Coach women arrived, and again I felt like I was already marked as “Property of Sephora,” and don’t get me wrong, so far I have loved everything about those ladies, but I feel like I haven’t gotten a chance to meet the other groups as well, but feel that if I now go try to hang out with them, I would offend Sephora.
Two things did really stick out to me, though, one: all of the ladies in all of the sororities seemed to be on really good terms with each other, as if all the sororities are just one big group of friends, which I think is really admirable and just awesome. The second thing that struck me was something a friend of the Sephoras said. This guy had joined us for a bit towards the end of our meal, and as we were leaving he said to me, “I don’t know how serious you are about this group, but I’ll tell you one thing: what they have is really special. This means so much to them, it’s more than just a fraternity for them, it’s like--, it’s like a sisterhood. They are a really amazing group of girls.” Of course I had to giggle inside when he said it was like a sisterhood (duh!), but I thought that his observation of them as an outsider said something.
So, after day two, this is where I'd put everybody:
1. Tiffany's
1. Sephora
1. Coach
4. BCBG
