I was so excited to see the Phillies again, especially since I had met more of their girls and run into them all over campus and at parties. Me and 2 other girls on my floor rushed, they really wanted Liberty and I really wanted Phillies at this point.

Franklin: My first house. They started off with a funny fashion show that was headed by a hilarious blonde fashion design major that immediately talked to me after the skit. I clicked with her immediately, being that my major was fashion merchandising, and knew that my rankings were going to be tough. My only concern was that they might be too stereotypically ‘preppy’ for my taste in a school that’s smack dab in the middle of a major city.

Rocky: Second house. The house tour showed a huge, lovely house. The girls were really athletic and well rounded, but I just didn’t get that strong of a connection as I did with any of the girls I spoke to like at the first house. The girls all seemed to kind of look alike and none of them really stood out, but I was willing to give them another chance.

Liberty: These girls kicked ass. It was like every stereotype of a sorority I had seen broken – in a very good and cool way. You could tell they were the rockstars of campus. None of the girls looked like each other, I ended up talking to a sports management major who I clicked with (haha the opposite of my fashion major) and thought the house was lovely, decorated in black and red (those aren’t their sorority colors though, don’t get too excited ha). I saw photos of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, which was always a plus in my book. I was pleased.

Phillies: The house I was most anxious to go to. It was everything I remembered it to be from the first tour I got of it. All the girls who had moved me in remembered my name and complimented my outfit and they showed a Sex In The City skit that I fell in love with. They were so fashionable, girly, beautiful, and chic, and everything I wanted to be. When I was leaving, the president said my name and said “See you later!” and I was THRILLED.

76ers: The last house. I was getting tired from spending 45 minutes each at all the previous houses. The house was nice from what I could see but they weren’t even giving tours of the individual rooms like all the other houses did. The girls seemed a bit odd and everyone in my group came to the consensus that this was the least desirable house. We just stood in the back and munched on their food and avoided talking for the last 20 minutes we had to be there.

I only knew which house I did NOT want to go back to after Round One, so my rankings were:
1. Phillies
2. Liberty
3. Franklin
4. Rocky
5. 76ers

They all seemed so pretty and nice, and pointed to me their pin and told me to rush them in a few weeks. So I went into formal recruitment definitely biased.....

jetage, I've got a feeling that my son will be headed to your school this fall and I can never figure out schools in these stories. Please, keep sharing but remember discretion!

That's what I thought at first, but I think she means they had buttons that said "I Love XYZ" or something like that.
