So recruitment started today and I am soo excited so far! I definitely love everything and Greek Life. It was part 1 of Round one and I visited 5/11 chapters on campus. After the first house everything went smoothly and the conversations didn't feel forced for more than half of them!
In no particular order:
Aurora- This house was kind of hard to get a conversation out of. The girls I talked to seemed very uncomfortable but passionate about their philanthropy which I loved! Their philanthropy hit home so it was nice getting to know everything that they do to get involved. I don't know if I can exactly see myself here but they were definitely a nice group of girls. I kind of felt awkwardness between the members of the chapter though.

Snow White- I am so surprised with how much I love this sorority. I went in thinking so much about their reputation and I immediately just cleared my mind and had an amazing conversation with this girl. We talked on such a personal and emotional level. I just loved our conversations and she talked to me like a sister and not just some person who she just met which I loved. These girls seemed just like me so girly and into glitter and makeup. I really love this chapter

Pocahontas- These girls were SOO nice but they were just not like me at all. The conversations weren't awkward but it felt like I was forcing myself to talk. They have such a great sisterhood and I think I can make some cool friends from the chapter, but I just can't see myself in it.

Belle- I LOVED THIS HOUSE. I can see myself being them and they are a well rounded sorority which I love. They care about grades, having fun, making friends, volunteering. If I got a bid from them I would be totally fine. The seem so good to be true because of how well rounded they are. This house is definitely in my top choices. The conversation felt so natural and the time flew by so quick. It was another personal type of conversations and the girl I was talking to was so similar to me I loved it.

Mulan- This house was very interesting. I am not too sure how I feel about it. The girl I talked to I loved our conversation it flowed so well but the atmosphere just seemed off. I want to give this chapter another chance but it depends on tomorrow and how many of those chapters I like. Even though I liked the girls I talked to, I don't think I can see myself here.

The first part of round 1 overall went pretty well. I am like so excited to see the rest of the chapters tomorrow and I cant wait to pref I can go back up to 8 houses on Sunday so I can't wait to see where I end up

We gave 4 rounds and the first round is broken up into two days.

I would like to clarify -- I am a little confused. When you say "pref", are you referring to the time when PNMs are asked to indicate to which chapters they would most like to return to in the next round? I ask because I think you're using the incorrect term. I think you mean to say that you won't "rank" the chapters until Saturday. "Pref" is short for "Preference Round". Preference Round is the last set of parties before the PNMs and sororities make their final decisions.

Good luck to you as you continue on. I hope you are having lots of fun!
