Sorry for the delay! I am actually typing and sending to an a friend who is posting for me. I was too scared to blog from campus in case someone traced it! Paranoid, I know!
Today is break day because it is the first day of classes. I would way rather keep on going!! I am going to post about my suitemate too later! She said it was fine. I just won't have many details because we are trying to avoid details when we talk about it. I would die if I told her how much I dislike one group and she ended up pledging there! Still, it is so hard not to talk!
Ok, well the second day of Philanthropy round I had 4 again, but no more that were my bottom three. Two of them were ones I really hoped to go back to and two I just wasn't sure yet.
I do want to say how just one or two sisters behaviors or appearance can impact an opinion of a PNM! I'm still bothered by the hand with the X on it from day one of Philanthropy. Also, I have heard over and over to ignore stereotypes. Well guess what? That is hard to do when the sterotypes are sometimes so hard to miss!!!
Falcons - (for those of you wondering, this would be Air Force Academy Falcons, my uncle went there)
Falcons- Another pretty group of sisters. I had liked their room in Panhellenic in the Go Greek round. I liked them, they seemed fun, I would rank them high, but... I can't really explain it. I was waiting for a "this is it" moment. I will probably go back and read this and realize how stupid i sound, but it's the only way I can describe it right now. Some of the groups are similar and it is almost easier to describe their differences from one another. Does that make sense at all??? So, I liked them a lot, compared to the two from Day 1 that I liked they are less polished than the Gators and less awkward than the Razerbacks. I DID like them, I hope to go back.
Gamecocks - I loved this group. They actually reminded me as a whole a lot of the Gators. They were fun, pretty, polished, polite but did not come off as snooty. I didn't think their philanthrophy was quite as meaningful to me, but I would still list them in my top three so far.
Crimson Tide- Very surprising and not in a good way. I thought going in that I would love them, I guess I heard they were good so I assumed. I don't want to give too many details because I don't want anyone to figure out exactly who they are. I felt like they rushed me hard. Maybe too much so. I had a feeling that they were almost pushy. I didn't think it was because they just loved me either. This was the one of two that I visited where I did not know a single sister in the room. I grew up in Tennessee and know a bunch of girls from school and church and several of my older sisters friends (my sister doesnt go here). So even though I don't necessarily know people super well, I have seen lots of familiar faces. Not here. I have heard that a few sororities at Tennessee are still very regionalized and I am wondering if this is one of them. I didn't LOVE them, didn't hate them. I wouldn't complain if I go back but I am just not sure.
Blue Devils - Well I will tell you right off the bat that this chapters philanthropy is very close to my heart. If I were ranking just on this I would have an easy number one. Beyond that, this was another surprise. I wasn't too sure about this group going in but forced myself to be open minded. I really liked them. There was more diversity in this chapter. I don't mean ethnic diversity, but just in general the girls all seemed different, no cookie cutter here. They were all pretty chill and it was all very low pressure. One thing I do when I meet sisters is I try to imagine them hanging out with me and some of my close friends. Some of them I could totally hang out with, others probably not so much. I guess that is normal when you have a big group of people.
