ROUND 2
Ok everyone, sorry to keep you in suspense. I found out yesterday morning which houses invited me back but its been a busy two days so I haven’t had a chance until now to update you. I was invited back to 13 or the 16 chapters on campus. Unfortunately, I was cut from the Los Angeles house (Which I was expecting because I am not a freshman and I heard a long time ago that this house only accepts freshmen), I was also cut from the Philadelphia house (not sure why here either I thought the conversations I had here went well, but I guess you never can tell!), and the final house was a big shock to me (the Miami house) because I have quite a few very good friends who are sisters at this chapter and I also had a recommendation there and thought the conversation here also went well. But, like I said, I guess you cant always tell.

So after I found out that I had been invited back to 13 chapters, I had to cut 3 as we are only allowed to return to 10 for second round. I was really sad to have to let any of them go, but I just followed what my gut told me and cut the houses which I knew right away were not where I would fit in best. So, unfortunately, I cut the Baltimore house, the New Orleans house, and the Denver house. So after we had a short break, we had to return to campus for the start of round 2. Here is my story for round 2:
Round 2
Day 1
The BOSTON house was great and the girl who rushed me was really sweet. We had a “normal” conversation, which was a nice break from the repeated talks about recruitment.
The SAN FRANCISCO house was one of my favorites the first day, but I felt kind of discouraged as I left because I thought my conversation with one of the girls who rushed me could’ve gone better. Im almost expecting to be cut from this house
The CHICAGO house was great again for round 2. I got to see a good friend of mine who is a member of this sorority. The girls really had their recruitment together.
The LONDON house was my favorite for the first day of Round 2. Their craft for philanthropy round was really cute and I was excited to do it because their philanthropy is a cause that means a lot to me.
Round 2
Day 2
The DALLAS house had a cute craft as well, although I was somewhat disappointed that this party hadn’t gone as well as I felt my first visit had.
The ROME house was the first house I attended on day 2. It was already so hot outside that I felt like I shouldn’t have even bothered doing my hair and makeup. But the conversations went well.
The PARIS house was my biggest surprise of the day. I was slightly reluctant to keep this house when I was making cuts but I am SO glad I didn’t and gave them another look. I really enjoyed this house for round 2. **on a side note, as we were waiting outside under the tent to go to this party at the height of the day today in the nearly 100 degree heat, one girl actually fainted!!**
The NEW YORK house is still my favorite so far. Their rush events have made me feel more relaxed than at the other houses.
The SAN DIEGO house was awesome today as well. This house has given me another reason to be thankful that I came in with an open mind as I had not originally considered this as a house I would fit in, and I really enjoyed myself here today.
The LAS VEGAS house had such a cute craft for philanthropy round that I want to go to the craft store to get my own supplies and make my own! The girl who rushed me is in charge of bid day for the chapter and told me all about all of the planning that goes behind bid day which I was interested to hear more about.
So Ladies (are perhaps gentlemen?), that’s it for round 2. Tomorrow around 830 I should be finding out which houses have invited me back. Everyone wish me luck. Im really nervous about this cut but Im hopeful it will go well. Bye everyone!!!
