Third Round – Skit
We could be invited back to six parties today and I had six on my list! They weren’t my top six, but I was really happy with a full schedule. My roommate only has two for today and another girl from my high school has dropped out because she only had one. Two girls on my hall have dropped out because they weren’t happy with who they have left. Funny thing is they have been VERY opinionated all along and seemed to know someone at every single sorority before Rush started. Lots of drama going on at that end of the hall.
So the six that I am going back to today are:
Pippi, Madeline, Ramona, Annie, Junie and Corduroy
I am very, very disappointed to have not been invited back to Sal. I really thought that might be the one. I am a little sad to not see Amelia on the list, but I was a legacy there and knew that if I wasn’t the right girl for them that they would most likely drop me after this round. The only one I really am not interested in at all right now is Pippi and that just feels so awkward. I am soooooo excited about going back to Annie and Madeline!
The first house I visited today was Annie! Their skit was funny and sharp and well-done. We talked a lot about the philanthropy again and as I said this is my favorite out of all of the philanthropies. I asked a lot of questions but tried to not be so gushy like I was yesterday. I really, really want this to be the one I think!
Next was Pippi. This party was a little better. In fact the girl who took me around was really sweet and we had a connection with some activities that we both do that are not super common. I felt like she had been looking out for me. This was the best that I’ve felt at this house all week.
Corduroy was next and it was the oddest experience. Their skit was not funny at all, but all the sisters seemed to think it was. Maybe there were a lot of inside jokes or something. It was just a strange, weird experience. I don’t even remember the girl who took me around because I was so puzzled about the strange vibe.
Junie followed that and was not a favorite either. Again, the skit was not great (Annie set the bar pretty high) and I didn’t know when to laugh or not. The snacks were great however! The girl I talked to was sweet and admitted that the skit was sort of dumb. I like these girls but don’t really seem them as sisters.
Finally Ramona, A solid party – I was hungry and enjoyed their snacks! The girl who rushed me was a senior and she was polished and good at this, I could tell, but she didn’t seem bored with rush. The skit was good, but not great. I wish I had thought more about this house earlier.
Madeline’s skit was sweetly funny. I really like Madeline! Again, the sisterhood bond came through in every conversation.
Another long talk with Mom – she does more listening than talking so it is OK and I don’t feel like she is pushing me. My favorites are (in this order):
Annie
Madeline
Ramona
Junie
Pippi
Corduroy
More advice from Mom: stay very, very open minded and thoughtful all the way through prefs and to not close my mind or heart to any of these on my list. I think she is maybe disappointed about Pippi, but she doesn’t want to make me feel bad. I’m really getting ready for this to be done.
