It has been a couple of months, but I thought I might as well finish my story.
Day Three: I was much more nervous to meet with my Rho Gamma because of what happened after the first cuts, and it seemed to me more and more obvious, which chapter I felt the most comfortable at. When my Rho Gamma handed me my sheet I was completely relieved. On the sheet were:
Spring Fling
Lucky Charms
Everything Nice
I was so excited to have the opportunity to go back to all of the chapters that I clustered after the previous day! This round was Sisterhood night!
Up first was Everything Nice, and I couldn't have been more excited! I got picked up by a super nice junior and we really hit it off. She was amazing and we instantly got along really well, and our conversations started to become more and more focused on how exciting it is to be apart of that sorority. A little later a friend I knew since the very beginning of school came up and joined our conversation. Once again during this round all of the girls that I thought I connected with came up to me and told me how excited they were that I was back, which once again I thought was a great touch. An alumna from this chapter spoke about how much college was impacted by her sisters and I could tell how much everyone in this sorority really loved each other from the other girls that made speeches. Before I knew it the round was over, and I left feeling like that was the place where I belonged.
The next round I went to Spring Fling. I got picked up by a nice girl who I apparently met at a fraternity social the semester before, but I didn't really remember much about her. She was really sweet, but she kept referencing her friends in other sororities that both of us knew, and she didn't seem to be very involved or even comfortable in her own sorority. Later we sat down and sisters took turns talking about how much they liked that their chapter was huge and had no stereotype. I thought that it seemed much less personal and unfortunately kept thinking that these girls seemed much less sincere than the ones that spoke at Everything Nice. When the round was over I didn't feel the same disappointment that my time was up as I did at the last round and frankly was ready to move on.
Finally it was time for Lucky Charms! I was ecstatic to get picked up by my great friend and we talked about normal things so it didn't even seem like sorority recruitment. I ended up talking to her entire family again and the previous president and the future president who all seemed nice. Then my friend brought me to a circle where sisters took turns talking about their bond with each other. They all seemed really genuine and like great girls, but I just couldn't picture myself standing amongst these girls sharing stories about our time together. When the round was over my friend hugged me goodbye and I moved on to my designated place with my rho gamma.
When it came time to cluster and rank I put:
Clustered:
Everything Nice
Spring Fling
Ranked:
Lucky Charms
It was an incredibly difficult decision between Lucky Charms and Spring Flingbecause at that point I didn't feel a strong connection to either of them. I ended up ranking Lucky Charms because I didn't want my friend to be led on through pref night (I know this probably sounds really bad).
