I went to Univ WA for med school

Slow day at work, so I'll march on to the first day of rush...

So there we are off to 6 party open house day, officially "Go-Greek Day". No bursting on this day, houses wore the same logo tee-shirts but in different colors. Really short parties. No one in my family has ever been Greek, so other than hearing from Charlotte and Carrie, and my HS friends who pledged at other schools in the fall, I had no idea what I was in for. And I was a more nervous that I expected to be walking into the houses for the first time...

Bert - 1st house of the day. I was so nervous that I nearly threw up the mint-chocolate chip milkshake served to me by the nice Bert girl right into her lap. She was a senior, very nice and I'm sure very aware of how nervous I was. I hardly remember anything else about that party except that I thought their house was pretty.

Oscar - I really liked the girls who rushed me. They seemed very down to earth, smart, good sense of humor. Overall, a great impression, and I was surprised by how much I liked them. Samantha (freshman roommate) was a legacy here.

Cookie Monster - Difficult to make conversation here. Only talked to one girl the whole time. I was pretty sure I would be declining an invitation back here.

Elmo - Charlotte's house. I had a good time here, Charlotte and several of her friends came by to say hi. Overall, outgoing, fun gals.

Ernie - I talked to an Ernie who had been in my English class, a really cool Junior girl (I was taking an advanced lit class an an elective - and I was the only freshman). She remembered me from class, and I had a great chat with her - until she asked me what grade I got and it turned out I had done better than she had! I thought I blew it! Otherwise, again, very friendly, chill girls - I liked it alot.

Big Bird - Again, I was very nervous going to Big Bird. The first girl I talked with was stunningly beautiful, smart, and so incredibly nice. Not what I expected at all. I also talked with another chapter member who was pre-med, which I thought was incredibly cool. I left Big Bird feeling so excited about it - and very nervous that I was so excited about it given my previous statements to my Elmo friend.

Roommate also really liked Big Bird and Ernie. She was not so crazy about Oscar, which was her legacy house. Other floor friends were excited about Big Bird, Ernie, and Elmo. No one on floor liked our RA, so a lot of them were ruling out Bert, which was a shame because as it turns out, she was really uninvolved in the house.

So after day 1 I felt like this:
Big Bird
Elmo/Ernie
Oscar
Bert
Cookie Monster
