Ahoy again. Boy am I pumped. For some reason I always get more excited when I'm at home and writing it down than when I'm there, I guess I'm still a little bit nervous. But today went great. We had dinner with the rhomu group and I'm really liking my group because we all seem to get along very well.
We started with Johnny. As a transfer, I had seen this group around last semester during COR but I only went to one event at the time. I wasn't sure then about joining so I was really open to seeing the house at formal rush. I liked the first girl we talked to as she was really sweet but I didn't have the greatest conversation with the second girl. There was one thing she said that made me kind of uncomfortable and I know it might be trivial to others but it kind of hurt me since it deals with my heritage. My sister said I might be being too touchy but it was just a closed minded thing to say. However, I won't hold it against the entire group since the girl we talked to after her was sooooo nice. She was probably the nicest girl I've talked to and she really made me feel welcome. However, I will go to another of their events since I think this one event shouldn't stand for all of them.
After that we went to Joey. I hadn't heard of Joey before this and so I was eager to go in since it was the last one of today and I was in good spirits. Beforehand, one of the freshman had asked if I knew any of the reputations of the houses but since I'm a transfer I don't know anything really. Its hard since I'm new but I think its a good thing since I don't want anyone elses opinions. To behonest, most of the time its just gossip, at least I think so.
Back to Joey. These girls were wonderful. After Tommy, this group really felt like a place I could be welcomed. All of the girls I talked to were friendly and made me feel like I could easily fit in. Whereas I didn't feel the warmth from Johnny I certainly did from Joey.
We have philanthropy day on Sunday and I am going to be there all day so I'll most likely post then. However, as of right now, my list would have to be:
Tie between Joey and Tommy
DeeDee
CJ
Johnny
I hope sunday goes well and by this time next week I'll be anxiously awaiting my preference tea bids.
