I talked to this girl about her major and applying for grad school and taking the GRE's. Not a fun conversation piece.

You are definately entitled to your opinion on chapters at your school, and I'm not really jumping on the fact that you didn't like them. But how can someone not like how a chapter is founded, many many of the NPC sororities are founded in a similar way. I guess I just didn't even look at this as a factor when I rushed.

True. I didn't really think of that.

I was so nervous I basically could not sleep last night. And when they handed out parties I almost didnt want to look at it. BUT EVERYTHING WORKED OUT GREAT!!! I was asked back to Yellow and then Blue!!

Yellow: So I went in assuming that I was going to be polite, strike up conversation with the girls, eat some good food and then leave. Not the case. I was actually so moved by their pref night that I left the room, quite concerned that I may have some serious serious thinking to be done before signing the pref card. The wrote us letters that broke my heart, and had 4 terribly heart breaking/warming stories. They gave us pearls to drop into a fountain and make a wish. It was absolutely adorable and I was really really happy that I pref'd them

Blue: The party began some what slow, the girl I was talking with, whom i've know for awhile and never really got to talk to during recruitment other than in passing, wasnt really great at talking at first. There were small gaps in conversation which i promptly filled in. I didnt mind so much, I just wasn't 100% sure what things I was supposed to, and no supposed to talk about. But I found out why she was rather silent later. The speeches were once again heart breaking and she was quickly moved to tears. She had been so upset over the party last time around she was still trying to gain composure while talking to me. There was a really sweet video and then a ritual that consisted of white roses and tearful whispers. I'm not in the house, but I was pushed to tears. PS I dont cry, ever.

Tonights rankings:
1. Blue
2. Yellow

While I felt really really bad about putting yellow as number two, I really do see myself in blue. I looked around the room and realized these girls are just like me. They make stupid faces when they dance, theyre quarky, they're not covered in make-up, they are just terrific, they like to have fun. I saw that in yellow too, but I just really really felt that with Yellow I trying too much, and I was pushing myself out of girl rather than true interest. But with blue, I just felt comfortable, I felt like I already knew the girls even though I had barely met any of them

Tomorrow is bid day, and I am so ready for this whole thing to be over.

IF YOU WANT THE IDENTITIES OF THE HOUSES, PM ME AND I WILL SEND IT OUT TOMORROW!!

Oh and as a side note. A few weeks ago I drew a picture of Blue's symbol, before i knew it was their symbol, and before i had even decided to re-rush. AND it has also been my background image on my computer for weeks. Its weird since its not a common thing like a rose or a butterfly or something like that its unique and soooo crazy that I just decided to draw it and post it!!

Good Luck. I hope you get blue. Also, fyi, yellow did not cob last year.

They were well over total.

YAY! Im really really glad yellow didnt COB, because I really like them! I would be really upset if they didnt make quota because there is no reason girls that nice, should be forced to do informal recruitment!

YAYYYY!! Congratulations on becoming a Theta! My Hall Director for the past 2 years was a Theta, and she kicked major butt.
