Today was day one which was meeting our rho gamma's and ask her any questions my group or myself had. Let me tell you that I think my rho gamma is super cute and nice. I never realized there would be so many girls in one room which made me nervous. Tomorrow is UCF day which I will get to visit the 11 chapters and I' am super nervous. Well I have to get ready tomorrow because it's going to be a long day and I have to wake up really early. Goodnight.

Day 2!!!!!

Omg! Such a long/hot day today. I didn't think walking and meeting 11 chapters and be so long and exhausting. I had fun and I liked all 11 chapters even though i felt like the conversation were forced. I think all the chapters offer something different which I like. Just to let everyone know that DZ was going to drop from recruitment and that it will be taking place a different week because they were looking for 150 pnm's since they're a new chapter this year,so I drop a name. Just so you ladies know.

Hermione- I did not expect the door chant early in the morning and omg this girls were super cute and were matching. I was sooo surprised when I walked in, I didn't know what to expect. My rusher picked some girl and myself and were talking for about 3 minutes until another rusher and took her away. I thought my rusher was so gorgeous and nice and I got along with her well. Like i didn't know 25mins went by so quick.

Potter- My rusher was nice, didn't really connect with her. However, they did have a strong sisterhood which I like. Always i felt like the conversation was forced but it followed well.

Ron- I loved my first rusher she was so cool and i got along with her really well and i got bumped by another rusher which she was nice too and I got along with her as well.

Dumbledore- It was okay. I got bumped by three girls. I felt kinda of awkward there, but I'll still give them another shot.

Draco- I thought this chapter seemed down to earth and diverse which I liked a lot. I got bumped by three girls which were all nice and super sweet. Oh...I was paired up with another girl and she didn't seem to thrill in being there. I was. lol.

Ginny- I got paired with a rusher who was nice but we didn't have anything in common but i felt like our conversation was neutral and it followed well. I thought she sweet and cute.

Snape- When i walked into this chapter I didn't know what to think because these girls are drop dead gorgeous and I felt like I didn't belong there but I got bumped by three girls which were all super nice and super gorgeous.

Hagrid- I love!!!! my rusher. We hit it off when she picked me up from the door and she is so amazing. I never thought I would hit it off with her but we did which it was good to take a seat for once since I been standing up all day.

Longbottom- I got bumped twice but I thought this house seem down to earth and genuine, sweet and nice. I thought both of my rusher were nice.

Lovegood- My first rusher our conversation was forced until I got bumped by another rusher which I got along with so well because we spoke about a certain sport and my third rusher was loud and cute and we got along and spoke about our major which were kind of similar.

DAY 3 PHILANTHROPY!!!

Today was the day when I got to see how many houses I got invited back to and it was shocking but I only got invited back to three. I was upset because I felt like the girls didn't like me and I was just heart broken. I was at least expecting 5 houses back not 3. My rho gamma cheered me up which I was happy about that.

Potter- I ranked them yesterday in my bottom two but I got invited back to this house. I was glad they saw something in me even though I was still upset that I only got three invites back. My first rusher was really nice and sweet and she was showing my how to make a craft which was really cute. I learned about their philanthropy which I thought it was interesting and it was a bit emotional. I was bumped with another rusher and we talked about things and when I was talking to her I realized my conversation with her was so natural. I felt like it wasn't forced and it felt really real. I left the house liking them a lot.

Ron- I loved this house yesterday, I was excited to go back. I had a new rusher and she was really nice. I learned about their philanthropy which I found interesting but I didn't feel any emotion. By the way I was paired up with another pnm and both of us got bumped by another rusher. I really felt like our conversation was forced and I felt like I didn't belong their at all. I felt very uncomfortable.

Draco- I was happy I got invited back to this chapter. I love love love how diverse they are and all seem so genuine and down to earth. I had the same rusher from day2 and she is super sweet and down to earth. I never met such a sweet person before and I talked to her which i felt our conversation was natural and real. I got bumped with another new rusher and she was so nice and so real. I liked her a lot.

Hopefully tomorrow I get two invites back because that would be really nice for me. I like Potter and Draco so far and i hope the system doesn't fail me yet. I never thought the system could actually work but it does. Im glad I kept an open mind which is the BEST advice for any pnm and myself can have. Tomorrow is day 3 (video day), hopefully tomorrow is a good day for me.

Good luck to you! I really liked your attitude about going back to a house you ranked low. You are classy and the girls rushing you will see it.

Cool DAY 4 VIDEO DAY!!!!

I was excited for video day because my rho gamma would tell me it was a bit different then the past two days which was nice and we got to seat down which was nice lol. I was nervous for my invites I was expecting two invites back but when I see my list I got invited back to three houses. I was so shocked but it felt good cause my rho gamma told me some girls already got dropped. First house of the day was......

Potter- I walked in and all the girls were really cute today. They were matching and they all looked gorgeous. I was paired up with a new rusher which she was so nice and funny. We talked about the things we were freaked out about and he had that in common and other things. Then I watched there video which was really cute and funny. I loved it because I could picture myself in the video cause I act goofy all the time but I do have a serious side. After the video I talked to my same rusher and it was so nice talking to her. I left the house liking them a lot.

Draco- I had a new rusher today and she was so cute. I honestly forgot what we talked about but I remember getting bump by another rusher and I clicked with her so well. I remember talking to her about makeup and how I recently got into doing my makeup and stuff until we had to stop talking because I had to watch the video. The video was so cute. When they were showing pictures of the sisters hanging out and having a great time I felt like tearing up. The song they picked was a good song for the slideshow. After the video I kept talking to her until a new rusher approached me because she loved my shoes. Then we started talking about accessories which we hit it off. I like this house as well.

Ron- Today I had a new rusher and she was so cute and easy going. I remember she told me to take a seat to watch the video and the video was so cute and sweet. I actually teared up at one of the girls talking about her experience at the house and how her sisters were always there for her. After the video I met up with my rusher and I was walking and I saw my rusher who rushed me in day 2 and I said hi to her. Anyways I got along with my rusher and we would talked a lot and got to know each other and she is so sweet. I liked her. I remember leaving the house and saying to another pnm who is my friend , I like this house but I didn't feel a connection their like I did with the last two. She understood what I was saying and I won't forget what she told me after I told her how I felt about this house and she was like "this is my house, i just know, this is it." I was so happy for her to find the house she was looking for.

After visiting the three houses I remember thinking to myself oh man I am really tore about two houses. To be honest with you before I started recruitment; I looked up the chapters during the summer and I really like Draco from the beginning until I liked Ginny. I never thought I would like Potter (lol) but I'm glad I do now. Tomorrow is PREF night and hopefully I will know which house I want to go on Saturday for bid day. This is getting really hard for me but thank goodness I have my lovely rho gamma to help me out. Also I'm glad I've been having an open mind thanks to GC without having a open mind I would been lost in the sauce lol. GOODNIGHT LADIES. I will keep you posted about Pref night tomorrow.

Smile DAY 5 PREF NIGHT!

SORRY ladies!!! I've been busy after pref night with bid day and work. Okay so I saw my invites and I only got two invites back. Before I got my invites I was thinking the difference between Potter and Draco and I realized that I saw Draco more as sisters than friends, for me I felt that Potter were more like friends. When I saw my invites I got invited to

Draco- When I walked in I was so excited to see all the pretty ladies. I can't speak about what happen but I remember having tears because sisters were talking about their times with other sisters and it was nice and intimate. I left this house saying to myself, this is it..I need to be in this house.

Ron- I came in with an open mind when I was walking into this house but I didn't feel like this house was right for me. I feel weird being their and my rusher was kind of quite and she was yawning a lot. The ceremony was cute but I preferred Draco better. I remember leaving the house and I knew that, that wasn't my house.

I meet my rho gamma to rank the houses and I already knew which one was my top one and I put it like this:

1. Draco
2. Ron

I want to know the result of what happened! My sister was SO thrilled with the pledge class they received-- she said they were all so cute and nice. Her rush crush, who was a legacy to two other places, went to her legacy house. She was sad about that, but she's already found someone she wants to be her little. I hope you had a great ending!
