God, U of A parking sucks. I am so glad I am not you.

I see you lurking! I think we're in for an update! YIPEE!!! I won't be up until midnight tonight!

OK we want our update now please?


I can't wait to hear about this ( I almost wish I decided to go to UofA when I had the chance, but I love the south)

Hey! Its about 5:30 and I just got home from the first half of Set 1!

I met with my group at 8am and then at 9, we walked into our first house-the raspberry house. OH MY GOD! All the bouncing, clapping, jumping, singing, and yelling was out of control! But, it was all very exciting, too! Anyways, we walked in and were immediately picked up by one of the members who took us into a room and began asking us THOUSANDS of questions. I talked to about 3 or 4 girls, one the VP of education, who were all really nice, but I totally can't see myself in this house. I won't give too many details, but I just can't.

The kiwi house: This was the second house we visited. Again, the doors flew open and the bouncing, clapping, jumping, singing, and yelling began. Just by looking at a few girls I could tell this was more of my kinda place. I walked in, a girl grabbed me and we began talking. The conversations went really well-even with the other girls I talked to. The President came up and introduced herself to me, also. One of the sisters said there are 130 girls in the chapter and she is close with each and every one-this was very appealing to me! This house is one of my two favorites from the day!

The plum house: This was the third house we visited and the second of my two favorites! All the girls were GREAT. Very down to earth, relaxed, normal girls. With this house though, myself and another PNM talked to one sister. The other PNM talked the WHOLE time. I couldn't say a single thing! I did manage to give my two cents, but still.....a little frustrating!

The orange house: Fourth house of the day! One of my friends from last year is in this house and grabbed me right when I walked in. Obviously we had things to talk about and then she introduced me to two other girls who were absolutely great! I could definately see myself in this house too, but they are pretty strict when it comes to grades-which I can deal with, but they make the pledges go to a zillion study sessions each week which takes up TONS of time......

The banana house: This is a VERY tiny chapter! There are less than thirty girls who all live in the house together with tons more space for new members. I wasn't overly impressed with this house. There were five of us talking to one girl! She was very sweet though and included each of us in the conversations.

The peach house: This was the last house of the day which made me a little happy because I only had to be overwhelmed by the bouncing, clapping, jumping, singing, and yelling one more time! I have to say, I kinda already had formed an opinion about these girls before I walked in because of what I had heard around campus-which is horrible, I know!-but after talking to three girls, I realized they were nothing like what I had heard around campus! I would really like to see this house and its members again!

My fav. to least fav so far:
Plum, Kiwi, Orange, Peach, Banana, Raspberry.

I have 6 more houses tomorrow beginning at 8 am and I am very excited! Then I have to pick my 8 favorite afterwards.

Two days down, 5 to go!

hurray!!! it is crazy that you still have more parties to go to! i couldn't have made a choice among soooooo many groups! good luck tomorrow.

Sam I am so glad you had a great day.

I wish I could be the sister at banana who can talk with five PNMs and keep them all included in conversation. She is an example for us all.

WooHoo!!!

THAT is what I'm talking about!
Bouncing, Clapping, Singing,
Jumping, etc. THAT'S the fun of
it all.

I'm so happy you had such a
great time. I'm so excited about
these two U of Az threads!!!

Have a great time tomorrow!:D

I am so glad you had a blast. I can't wait to hear about tomorow.


And you are a good little PNM.

Hi! ... I'm so glad to hear that you had a great time. I was there at lunch handing out lunch bags so I must have seen you but with 800+ women we just didn't connect :-).

I stayed around for awhile and and watched some of the entrances and exits ... so much energy and so many cute PNMs.

Enjoy tomorrow - I can't wait to hear the rest of your story..

So glad to hear you had fun! The names you are substituting for the houses are SO CUTE! Have a blast tomorrow!

I understand that the smaller chapter might not be what you are looking for, but do give them a chance...they just might wow ya.

This brings back so many memories of when I rushed!! Have a delightful time and keep an open mind!! :D
I can't wait to hear how it all goes!

have a good day...keep all those options open...and have a blast.
good good luck.

So we only went to one of the same houses yesterday!! It's interesting to see what you thought about the other houses, now I'm really curious about what I'll think. I'm glad you found some houses you were happy at. I was totally unprepared for all the clapping and cheering also, but it made me smile :D . Have fun today, maybe I'll run into you at lunch!
