A dog-eat-dog recruitment story

Round 2 — Sisterhood

When I got my schedule back, I was disappointed but not too surprised to see:

Newfoundland
Labrador
Great Dane

Most girls in my Rho Gamma group were invited back to 5 or 6 sororities, which stung a bit; it was hard not to be envious. I was especially bummed about the loss of Greyhound. But I knew I had psyched myself out a lot before recruitment and hadn’t been putting my best foot forward on the first day, so I didn’t let myself dwell too much on my losses and carried on with the round.

The Newfoundland and Labrador conversations went pretty much the same as they did before. I talked to two Newfoundland actives about our Harry Potter houses and old preteen Tumblr accounts, and I liked that I had no fear of being embarrassed or judged for having slightly nerdy interests. At this point Newfoundland and Labrador were about equal to me.

I talked to a girl that I really liked at Great Dane. I mentioned my high school acquaintance and her eyes lit up! It was really sweet, actually. We got along well, and I felt awesome when I left.

At the end of this round, I ranked:
Great Dane
Labrador
Newfoundland

I did not release anyone on this day because I already had less than 4 chapters.
