Lady Gaga- I really liked these girls a lot. They seemed very genuine, and I'd love to go back here.
Beyonce- These girls were nice, but I felt sort of awkward here. They had a very cute song though.
Diana Ross- I liked these girls. They were very sweet and seemed genuine. Their house is beautiful!
Natasha Bedingfield- These girls have a gorgeous house and seem really nice and involved, but I didn't feel like I had a great conversation here.
Joni Mitchell- They were really sweet and seemed to have some things in common with me.
Leona Lewis- These girls were energetic and fun. I liked it here. All the girls were gorgeous and well dressed.
Norah Jones- I loved this house! The girls were all sweethearts and kind, calm, and seemed very genuine.

Rihanna- All these girls were very pretty and fun. I liked this house a ton.
Sarah McLachlan- This house was SO MUCH FUN. I loved it here and met so many girls. I felt super comfortable.
Shakira- I really liked these girls. The conversation I had seemed very real, and the girls came off as sweet and genuine. I walked out of this house glowing.
Taylor Swift- I talked to a really nice girl and felt that the conversation went well. I felt comfortable here and really liked it.
Madonna- These were gorgeous girls. I liked this house.
Mariah Carey- I really liked this house. I felt like I clicked with the girls, and they were super sweet.
Miley Cyrus- This house was okay. All the girls were pretty and nice, but my conversation lagged a little and I didn't quite feel comfortable here.

Sorry a lot of the descriptions are the same and are short, but we spent a very limited amount of time at each house and it's hard to form opinions when you visit so many houses for so short of a time. I'll update later about second round!!

Sounds like you had a good time overall! Can't wait for more updates, don't keep me waiting to long! :p Good luck with the rest of recruitment!!

Seems like you had a good time at most of the houses... can't wait to hear about round 2!

I think those descriptions were fine. And it's great to see that you seem to be open to all the houses and really enjoyed yourself at so many! :)
Continued luck!

Round 2
 

We had round 2, house tours, and I was kind of disappointed because I only had 6 invites out of a possible 12, and lots of my favorites didn't invite me back. However, I did have houses that I really really liked.

Ke$ha: I felt more comfortable here today and felt like I connected a little better with the girl I talked to. The rooms in the house were super cute, and again all the girls were super sweet.
Diana Ross: I liked this house today. The girl who showed me around was really nice and caring. The house is so pretty, and I can tell the girls are close.
Natasha Bedingfield: These girls were sweet and had ADORABLE rooms. The girls are really involved around campus, and I felt more comfortable than the previous day.
Regina Spektor: I really liked this house!! They have really fun events and all the girls were sweet. I also feel comfortable here.
Rihanna: I loved this house! I had a very chill girl that I felt I had a really good conversation with. This house is gorgeous, and all the girls are beautiful.
Sarah McLachlan: This is my favorite house at this point. It was so so great and really fun! I talked to a girl I felt I had a ton in common with, and the rooms are adorable!! I felt really comfortable here, and the drinks they served were one of my favorites. Haha.

Round 3
 

This round was skit/ philanthropy day!! I was sad to lose some houses I really liked, but I went back to some good ones, including my favorite!!

Ke$ha- These girls are really close, and I can tell they really support each other and their philanthropy, but I still didn't feel comfortable here. The girls really tried hard on the skit, and I smiled through it, but I didn't find it funny.

Diana Ross- I'm starting to like this house more than before. These girls are sweet and close, had a funny skit, and really try hard to support their philanthropy. Their philanthropy video was really touching, and some of the sisters were crying. It was very sweet.

Natasha Bedingfield- I really liked this house today. These girls were sweet and really support their philanthropy. Their skit was hilarious and themed after a tv show I love. I can tell these girls are close.

Sarah McLachlan- This skit was soooo funny!! They have really fun events to support their philanthropy, too. This house is so fun, and I loved the girl I was paired with for this round. Also, their snack was one of my favorite foods... it's like these girls can read my mind! Haha. The only thing I'm worried about is if I keep getting invited back just because of my boyfriend's sister... I feel like these girls really like me; they seem to, but I want to be sure. Anyway, I'll update again later!

cant wait to hear more!

more more more!! i have a feeling it's gonna be sarah! :]

Prefs
 

These are the houses I went to for pref round.

Ke$ha: This ceremony was really sweet and I felt the connection between these girls more than ever. I still can't really see myself in this house and don't really feel like myself here.

Diana Ross: This was a little different than the other houses because I was not paired up with a girl I met earlier in the week. I did like the girl I got though, and I felt like we clicked. We talked about fun and silly topics, but not really about sisterhood or the sorority. I like this house and might could see myself fitting in here.

Sarah McLachlan: I talked to the girls I met earlier in the week that I really loved. We had really good conversations about choosing a house and about how they felt about me. I told them that I felt that I could just be myself here, and they said that they felt I would be such an asset to the house and that they could tell that I really fit. I felt really at home here. Then my boyfriend's sister came to talk to me, and I was paired with her for the ceremony. We had a good talk and she told me I was there for a reason and that she was just one person and didn't want me to think that I was being invited back just because of her (addressing my previous worry). The ceremony was heartwarming and I left this house thrilled and hoping to join their sisterhood!

I ranked the houses:
1. Sarah McLachlan
2. Diana Ross
3. Ke$ha
