An "Awkward" Recruitment Story

[ScarlettRed]

Day 2

The maximum number of invites was 6. Grayson was very tired from being up late with some noisy dorm neighbors. Her schedule for the day had the following:


LACEY
LISSA
JAKE
MATTY
JENNA HAMILTON


Her bottom 2 were gone, but so was TAMARA. She was glad to have a little more down time today.


LACEY- Grayson was picked up by the same girl as the day before. The conversation was strained because they had very little to discuss. Grayson tried to find out as much about their philanthropy as possible. She was thinking of ranking LACEY last because if she got this same girl the next day, they would most likely just stare at each other.


LISSA- The girl rushing Grayson here must have gone to the SADIE school of recruitment. She never asked Grayson any questions. Grayson tried to ask as much about the philanthropy, but the conversation was very one sided. She saw hometown girls, but did not speak to them. It appeared to her that they were not speaking to anyone. She loved the physical house, but figured this would be her last visit since the conversation was "Awkward."


JAKE- Grayson loved JAKE. They had moved into the favorite spot. She got along with everyone to whom she spoke.


MATTY- Grayson enjoyed her time here. She met the President. Everyone told her she needed to met a girl named Betty. Apparently Betty was just like her. She thought why don't they just introduce me to her. Grayson was not aware of the orchestrated dance that was recruitment bumping.


JENNA HAMILTON- This was her last party again. She began to realize that the more desirable chapters had fewer girls at each party. Her previous parties had been full. JENNA HAMILTON had very few girls, they must be a sought after house. They showed her photo albums. She noticed they were not doing that with anyone else. She kind of got that "Sidney, Jugdish, Mohammet, Lonny" vibe from Animal House from them. She was familiar with their activities because her sister's chapter did some of the same things. She asked them many questions to try and get to know them on a personal level. They never answered her. They just continued to pepper her with questions. After 2 visits, she had no idea of any ones hometown, major or any other personal information. She was feeling absolutely no connection to the JENNA HAMILTONs.
However, she told her mother and sister if she ended up here, she would make it work.


They could return to a max of 4 for Day 3. She ranked them as follows:


JAKE
MATTY
LISSA
JENNA HAMILTON
LACEY x

That makes me sad.

What a mature attitude Grayson has.

Since this is Grayson's legacy chapter, perhaps mom's advice is based on some membership voting strategy that only Jenna Hamilton's would understand?

Perhaps.

I just don't like it much when moms try to make choices that their kids should be making. Grayson's aware of her mom's affiliation and would probably give Jenna Hamilton extra consideration anyway. But if it's not a good fit for Grayson, it'd be a shame for her to know that but not feel like she could do anything about it.

What I learned in college: Sometimes what Momma doesn't know doesn't hurt her.
