Well today was my first official day of recruitment. The first house I went to was....
Gemini- I was really excited when I got to this house since it was the first house of the day. It was nice and I liked that they had us in two rooms, we spent half the time in one room doing the philanthropy project and the other half of the time looking at there pillows and paddles and stuff like that. I'm not sure I like how they do there mentoring-ish program because they do bigs and littles but then another thing to(I can't really say what without giving it away) and I feel like I'd rather have one central person than two different ones.
The next house was....
Pisces- This house is the only local sorority on campus. The girl I talked to there was very friendly, but it was kind of noisy and I did not like that they didn't switch people at all so I only got to talk to one person. This is also one of the smaller groups and I think I may be looking for something a little bigger.
Next up was...
Capricorn- This house was just renovated from what I've heard and it looked really pretty. When we got in we had to sign the guest book at the door so it took us a little while to actually get in, at some houses they had someone walk around with it which I think worked a little better. They also asked a unique question in the guestbook which I liked. I spoke to a few different people and they seemed pretty friendly. The room was really crowded though so at times it was hard to hear what people were saying. I'm not sure if this is definitley the place for me but I really liked there vibe and enthusiasm.
The 4th house of the day was...
Libra-We actually took a bus to this house because its pretty far away from the others. The house was really spacious and had a comfortable feel to it. Everyone there seemed to really like there sorority and one of them complemented the seashell I was making on my bookmark even though it just looked like a giant paint blob lol. At the end of this house, however time kind of seemed to be dragging on but it was also the last house before lunch so this could have been why.
We took a lunch break and then we went to...
Aquarius- This house also had a very comfortable setting. I felt really at ease with all of the different people I talked to and we never ran out of things to discuss. I really liked peoples answers when I asked them why they chose their sorority and one girl looked like she was almost gunna cry talking about her rush experience and chosing to become an aquarius. They seemed like such a great group of girls and at the moment I'd have to say that this house is my top choice.
We then walked to....
Virgo- This is the only sorority without a house so we met them in a conference room. It was kind of difficult because there was less space so everything seemed alot louder. Both girls I talked to seemed nice but I didn't really feel much of a connection. Also I was really hoping to join a sorority with a house. The group was really great but I don't see myself as being a part of it.
The last house of the day was...
Scorpio- This house was also very pretty looking. I liked talking to the girls there but at some points it seemed like we were running out of things to say. I also think this house was a little difficult just because it was the last house of the day. I'm not really sure how I feel about this house quite yet.
Sorry I wrote so much but this is kind of me trying to get my thoughts together on the whole thing. Tomorrow between 9 and 11 we go in to find out who asked us back and if its more than 5 houses then we narrow it down to 5 and then at 12:15 we meet to start house tours. O also from reading some posts here I'm surprised to say we were able to bring our purses in with us, all the girls rushing were wearing jeans and actually some were more casual and some of the houses were all dressed identically. Just some things I noticed throughout the day lol. I'm already very excited for tomorrow.
