But don't listen to a thing that jazing (a male) says about anything to do with recruitment. Good luck today. Not doubting he has an ADPi friend, but he offers terrible advice about SORORITY recruitment (could it be because he is a male, so he has never gone thru sorority recruitment?), and has been asked multiple times to stay in his lane.

Hi everyone! I just have to thank you all SO much for your messages, they are making this entire process so much less overwhelming So, as you all know, since I was too excited NOT to post this morning, I visited...

Lauren Bacall
Joan Crawford
and Grace Kelly

First I was off to Joan Crawford, and again I was trying to like this house with all my heart. I walked in and was immediately greeted by familiar faces, and as their video played I felt myself becoming more and more connected to this chapter. I was laughing, crying, clapping along, and picturing myself in the photos and videos. I left and texted my friends, "I LOVE Joan Crawford!" I had such wonderful conversations with the girls and decided 100% I would be overjoyed in this chapter.

Next I visited Grace Kelly, and in the spirit of honesty I wasn't looking forward to it. I'd tried to connect with this chapter but the girls I spoke to and I had nothing in common, they were slightly talking down about other chapters, and I felt pretty uncomfortable again. But I left excited, because it was time for...

Lauren Bacall!!! I walked into this house with the BIGGEST grin on my face, I was absolutely enamored once again by the house as we went on the tour. The first girl I spoke to was so sweet as she walked me through, the video made me cry and I was covered in goosebumps throughout the whole thing. The next girl I spoke to was, like, my soulmate. We shared so many common interests and were laughing so hard as we strayed away from the typical "rush" conversation and into the kinds of things friends joke about! That was the definite thing at this house, I felt like they were already my best friends. We were the last to walk out by a while, and as I left I was completely head over heels again. This house is definitely my number 1, but as I said I could definitely see myself in Joan Crawford as well.

I spoke to my Rho Gamma and she recommended I list all three houses, so I did. I didn't make for very interesting conversation at Grace Kelly so I'm thinking they won't ask me back. Again, crossing my fingers that I see Joan Crawford and Lauren Bacall tomorrow on my Pref night schedule!! Thank goodness tomorrow I get to sleep in a little bit, I am exhausted. Here we go!!

I take it that UCF PNMs attend 2 pref. parties?

Best wishes that you see Joan and Lauren on your list tomorrow!

I am hearing that 800 girls attended Round 1. This seems smaller than in past years.

Is it? I was thinking there may have been a decline because of the suspensions last semester.

You still did right by writing down all 3. Preference parties can really change your mind. Plus, even now, you've only met a few girls. Just because you haven't found girls there who you really click with, I'm sure there are plenty of girls in the house who would be your perfect next BFFs. Hopefully everything will turn out how you want, but just in case, I wouldn't count out the dark horse.

I have been reading this thread as a mom of a sorority girl and an alum of a sorority. You have such a positive attitude and truly I hope you find your sorority home. Keep trusting the process to the end. Rest well tonight!
