Don't be too worried about one off-conversation--- or off-day. Recruitment is a tiring process for both PNMs and the chapters... and chapters are full of members from all walks of life and diverse interests. You won't LOVE every single member of your sorority if you pledge, nor will they all want to be your instant BFF. If your vibe from the entire week is favorable to one chapter, that's a good indication you will click with them as a whole. If you keep meeting ladies you don't vibe with, then it is probably a sign that you don't.... if it's 1/2 and 1/2, you're probably fine-- again, remember that some sororities have huge memberships and you'll find a niche within any one if you try.

Good luck and continue to keep an upbeat attitude and an open mind.

It was nearly impossible to stay dry today! Apparently there was an SUV that was driving around campus water ballooning girls and rho chis outside of parties During the last two rounds, the sky opened up and girls were running around using whatever they could to stay dry. I had 2 other girls huddled under my umbrella and a car drove through a puddle and splashed us all! Hopefully the houses had a little sympathy for all of us rushees that got caught out in the rain.

I only lost one of my 4 houses from yesterday, so I was able to visit 3 out of 5 today for Philanthropy & House Tours.

Hudson - This house has been very up & down with me. The first day I liked them, yesterday I was disappointed, and today it went well. While I feel like I could find a niche for myself within this chapter, they haven't completely sold me. The girls all seem really nice though, and they had so much food!

Joe's - The girls at this house made me really feel wanted. I was able to talk to some of the girls I met earlier in the week, and they all expressed that they were really happy to see me back and even brought up things they remembered me saying. I could definitely see myself being friends with a lot of these girls. They're really down to earth and their house was cute.

Diesel - As I said yesterday, this chapter just feels like home. The girls were also very down to earth here and so far I've just felt really at ease with all of the girls I've met. This chapter, as a whole, seems the most like me. Their house also looks really bright. I wasn't afraid I was going to break something lol. I feel like girls remember me from this house too. This is the only house I'd be absolutely crushed to be cut from.

So far this was my favorite round. Not only did you get to talk to the girls, but you can also tell a little bit about what the girls are like outside of recruitment by seeing their rooms. Plus it's longer. You can actually do more than make small talk.

End the end, I ranked them:
Diesel
Joe's
Hudson

I'm going to be SO nervous waiting for Wednesday to roll around. Wish me luck!

I don't know how you do it, waiting until Wednesday. Sometimes I think I'm the world most impatient person (even though I know I'm totally not. LOL).

Sounds like you are having a good time! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I might see you tonight. In 20 minutes I'm off to Chapel Hill to assist as you make your final list!! :-) I'll be in the Carolina Inn with brown hair, black slacks, a white shirt (with little ruffles on the collar and sleeves), and pearls. I know the chance of seeing you is like nothing, but just in case!

I had an amazing night tonight. I kept all 3 houses from Monday, so for the first time this week, I've had a full schedule. I feel like I've written so much about the three houses, I honestly don't have a whole lot to say that I haven't already (plus I have homework for tomorrow still to do ). I was very impressed by all three houses - even one that I had been up and down with all week. In the end though, I had to go with my gut and it was the same house I've felt strongly about (Diesel). I actually got misty eyed at this pref ceremony and I am not a crier. I wanted to get up and hug one of the girls right there on the spot.

I'm SO excited for bid day tomorrow, I just hope everything works out. I'm also excited to find out where my Rho Chis belong! I've been trying to figure it out all week haha.

I'll be sure to post how things go tomorrow (good or bad). But hopefully they go well! Thanks for all the help and encouragement that EVERYONE has given me. Y'all have no idea how much it's meant.

May you be wearing Diesels tomorrow!!

Unless, of course, one of the other two pairs are a better fit.

Good Luck!!

The girls were just beautiful tonight! It was so much fun to watch as the girls wrote their decisions down! I'm impressed with how many girls seemed like they would be pleased with 2 or even 3 houses. Here is hoping for the best!!
