Another severely long day. Only this time, I decided to do crack and thought I could wear heels for 5 hours! Worst decision ever! *sigh* Ok. So it takes me forever to pick out my outfit. I wanted to make sure that I would stand out, considering we are supposed to dress up, I knew a bunch of girls were going to wear brown, black, white, and other such boring colors. So I decided to go with RED!
Ok, so I get there and I check in and get my schedule. I was plesantly surprised to see that I got invited back to 5 out of 6 of the sororities. Being a married junior is kind of a negative in this realm of my life. I was a little disappointed to see that I was cut from
Cupcake which is the group that I ranked second last night. But I didn't let it get to me because I had parties to go to and people to dazzle
My schedule looked like this:
6:05
Muffin
6:50
Cookie
7:35 BREAK
8:40
Cake
9:25
Scone
10:10
Pie
So not bad
Muffin: We go into their chapter room, and it is decorated really cute in a jungle theme. I get introduced to the same girl that rushed me yesterday so I felt confident that she would remember. But this time, instead of having one sister to 2 PNM's, there was one sister to 3 PNM's. We sat down and we were doing a craft for their philanthropy. The girl that is supposed to rushing me
literally turns her back on me and talks one of the other girls because they are both from Colorado. Me and the third girl just kind of raise our eyebrows to each other because this is really rude. Then the sister gets bumped and we now have the President of the chapter rushing us. She sits there very awkwardly with her hands folded in her lap basically staring at the table like she is the PNM all nervous going through rush and we are judging her! Again, super surprising and a large turn off! Then she gets bumped and again, me and the third girl are COMPLETELY ignored because this girl too is from Colorado and is all of the sudden BFFL's with the other girl. I was really irritated by the time another sister came by to talk to us. She was really trying very hard to strike up conversation with us but man...this group cannot talk obviously. The entire conversation was really strained and forced. I wanted to just roll my eyes and leave. I was so relieved when they said our time was up! I would have RAN from the room had I not been wearing heels!
cookie: I was really surprised to be invited back to this house because I just rambled on to the girl yesterday and didn't make a good impression, I know this. The girl who rushed me was really sweet and soft spoken. We had a pretty relaxed conversation. She asked me why I decided to rush so late in my undergrad career and I explained to her that my undergrad experience so far has been everything it's supposed to be, but not everything I wanted it to be. She seemed really impressed with my answer. So we basically talked about their philanthropy and I thought that was really cool. I told her how I did BBBS in high school as an after school program and helped kids with their homework. She thought that was pretty cool. It came up that I was married, and she didn't seem shaken by this at all. She said that every chapter has live in requirements but that their are always exceptions. Though this girl was super nice and cute, I didn't leave this group super impressed, but they were alright.
Break time! I ate goldfish and cookies to refuel and sat to try to make my feet stop throbbing! Again, I was on crack and thought I could wear heels for 5 hours STRAIGHT! disasterscookie is on CRACK!
Cake: I some how got matched with the same amazing bubbly girl as last night! It was really comforting because we had a great conversation last night, so I was sure that it would come easily tonight. Their philanthopy is really awesome. They showed a movie about it and how they have a very large part is what goes on and what they fund! I just thought it was amazing and the emotions are so overwhelming about this cause. Another girl that I knew was there and we talked too. Then I got introduced to another girl. One thing I like about this group is that instead of bumping they were just adding sisters to the conversation. It made the whole thing a lot more comfortable. I like this group
Scone: I wasn't too excited to be invited back to this group because I had ranked them last the previous night. But boy did they change my mind! Their chapter room was decorated in a blast from the past style. They were all dressed up from the 60's, 70's and 80's and the whole theme was just amazing! They sang adorable songs to us and I loved it! The girl who rushed me was awesome and she and I hit it off like no other! She too is obsessed with cupcakes! We talked about that for a long time, then we got into majors and grad school and the conversation just flowed really amazingly! I really felt like I connected with this group and I liked how fun and relaxed they were even in a serious setting. Their philanthropy was interesting and we were doing crafts for it. I had such a good time! I absolutely loved the girl that rushed me and just the entire atmosphere. I fell in love with this group! And I was so glad that I gave them another chance and that they gave me another chance as well!
Pie: I was so stoked to be invited back to this group! A lot of girls got cut from this group, even some that were freshman and sophomores, so I took this as a good sign! I got rushed by a girl who was super cute and really easy to talk to! We talked about our majors, our parents, and their philanthropy. The girl that rushed me yesterday came up and said hi to me and gave me a hug (which I also took as a good sign) and told me how glad she was that I was back!
*ding* Then the first got bumped by a girl who was in my ethnic studies class last year. We talked about how awesome that class was and the classes we were taking this year. The conversation flowed really nicely with her as well. Then she got bumped by a girl, she was really awesome too and we had a good conversation. I am absolutely in love with this group as well and I was sad to leave!
Then we had to go meet with our Rho Chi's and rank our top 4 and chose a 5th that we wouldn't mind going back to (in case you don't get invited to all 4). I had 3rd and 4th picked, but I could not decide whether to put Scone first or Pie because I loved them both. My Rho Chi assured that even though ranking tonight is important it doesn't really come down to the wire until the next night, which is sisterhood night and the night that we pick our top 2. So I ended up ranking them as such:
1. Scone (which is awesome since I ranked them last last night)
2. Pie (I am so in love with them!)
3. Cake (as much as I love their philanthropy, I don't really see myself fitting in well here)
4. Cookie (only because the conversation wasn't as bad as...)
5. Muffin (if I don't get invited back to my top 4, I can still go to muffin if they invite me...it could get better I guess but with 2 bad days in a row for them, I've lost interest pretty much completely!)
Tonight is the sisterhood and sorority night and at the end we have to pick our top 2. If I get invited back to Scone and Pie it is going to be SO HARD!
I think I am going to go to the store and buy myself a plain pair of black ballet style flats, I am never wearing heels again!
Wish me luck!
