day 3 - house tours
so on day 3 I got called back to
Libra
Aries
Sagittarius
1st house I head to is Aries. I was sooo excited to go back to this house because it was absolutely gorgeous and with this being house tours I was totally pumped! When I got inside I was introduced to an adorable girl and she had said she’d heard great things about me and proceeded to go on the tour. We talked about many things and we really hit it off. The food here was awesome and after the time I was here I didn’t want to leave!
2nd house was my Libra. When I walked up to the house I wasn’t particularly excited because I just knew it was going to be bad. BUT I pepped up, and went in with an open mind. I hoped someone would wow me on the house tour buuuut…it didn’t happen. The girl I was walking with was showing me and another PNM around and she didn’t click with either of us. The time here dragged by and I didn’t really enjoy my time here…again.
On the way to house three, mother nature decided to unleash a torrential downpour so needless to say me and all the other rushees got completely SOAKED! It was a disaster! So by the time everyone got to their house, we ran in to dry off and clean up a bit and waited about 20 min for the next round to start.
Round 3 was Sagittarius. And when I walked in, it instantly felt like home (again). I loved the house tour here and I enjoyed seeing all the girls I had talked to on the previous days. I learned a lot about their philanthropy and I could really see myself getting involved in their cause.
Sooo needless to say I filled out my pref card like this:
Top 2
Sagittarius
Aries
Bottom 1
Libra
PREF NIGHT IS NEXT!

Being a Sagittarius myself, I gotta say, I like the way this story is turning out.

pref night!
sorry I’ve dragged this out! I’ve been super busy but lets wrap this up here!
Pref night!
So I go to my meeting spot and I receive my list only to find these two houses on the list:
Sagittarius
Libra
Aries totally dropped me! Needless to say I was devastated, but then I realized that I’ve loved Sagittarius from day 1 so I was still pretty pumped. I did NOT want to go back to Libra b/c I knew it just wouldn’t be good.
So I head on over to Sagittarius and am ushered back to a very dark room. I assumed it was ritual stuff and yes…I was right! I sit down and listen to a few of the girls that tell why they enjoy their sorority and I really got to connect with one of the girls stories. It was really refreshing and was a good start to the evening. After the sisters told their separate stories, I was paired up with the sister I met at the door and we go up to her room to have a chat. When we get to her room she goes on to tell me she’s heard a lot about me and that she had a card waiting for me that had quick little messages from the girls I’d met earlier that week. It was soooo nice! I really connected with the girl I was paired up with and I really didn’t want to leave. That hour went by way too fast!
Right after house one, I head to my last house of the day which is Libra. I keep an open mind and arrive with a smile on my face. I stood in my lines position outside of the house and anxiously waited to go inside to see how the night would be. The girls file outside of the house and then I get paired up with a sister that I haven’t seen that week. She seemed nice and we immediately go inside and go to her room to talk a little bit. She asked me a few generic questions and every time I spoke she would look off in the distance…she just seemed so disinterested in what I was saying. I also practically had to steer the conversation at one point. After about 30 min. or so, we head downstairs to embark on the ritual stuff and I learn a bit more about the other sisters reason for joining their sorority. They got really emotional and started crying. I really felt like they had this strong bond that I just could not connect with. After the ritual it was time to leave and I ran to my meeting spot to fill out my pref card.
At the meeting spot I was really faced with the decision to suicide but I chose not to. Needless to say my card looked like this:
1st Sagittarius
2nd Libra

Why oh why do PNM's continue to drag these stories out (and they know they are dragging them out too) when recruitment is long over. Finish the story already!

Recruitment doesn't always work out for everyone. The last thing some women want to do is come back to a Greek site and talk about it.
Or if it DID work out, it may not work out the way they thought it would and they're embarassed about what they said about the girls who they now totally love.
Or they just needed this space to talk their feelings and uncertainties out and forgot about it after they got their bid.
Or they're a hobag and hooked up with the TKE president on bid day and haven't left his fraternity house since. (This is a joke.)
Point being - don't harangue the PNMs to finish their story. If they want to, they will. If they don't, they won't.
