At first I was disappointed that I had only been invited back to 8 houses out of a possible 9 houses. I thought I had done something wrong. Even though looking back on it I would not of been a good fit in those houses. I went into rush with no preconived notions about houses like other girls there that were from Oregon. Lets go Beavers.

I started off with hair and went there with Ashleigh from my group. I remember talking as we went. She seemed sweet and nice. But I was paired with this girl that had plantinum blonde hair. She was totally different then the girls that I had talked to the previous day. But I was beginning to see that this house was unique. We talked about disney musicals. I thought that the house was super cute and decorated really well. They showed a room called the zoo. We went in there and talked with another group that was on the house tour. I just felt like the other girl in their was someone that I could hang out with. Then the girl from the first round came up and said hi. And then when I was leaving the girl told me that she would see me in the next round.

Then off to Rent I went. I remember having a horrible time. A girl from California ended up giving me the tour and I just did not feel like I connected. It was like the girl was just a mime giving the tour. It seemed like she did not want to talk to me but it got better. Then when I was done with the tour I was talking to another girl. She seemed to have a sense of humor and I was relieved to be done with Rent. I just knew I could not see myself there.

Miss Saigon. Wow. I kept being more and more impressed with this house. I was so relieved to have a good time at this house again. was it an omen, I wondered. I remember having a great time and laughing with my tour guide as I saw the castle. It seemed like we would never end up not having something to talk about. She just seemed to be the person I could hang out with. I remember not having any lulls in the conversation with her. I just remember thinking wow this girl is like me. We had fun. She told me that she played on their soccer team. I thought that was cool. She just seemed like someone I could hang out with. I was still wanted to talk with her when the bell rang that said we had to get onto another house.

Then I went to South Pacific. I was excited with all the enthusiasm as soon as I steeped through South Pacific's doors. Wow. When I went through I talked with a few of the members as we giving the house tour. And my tour guide kept introducing me to more and more members. I just completly felt like this was a home. I was so excited. I remember talking about celebritiies and movies. It was just like a dream come true. But she was just a person that was saracastic to me the whole time through. I thought that this was just swell. Oops I sound like im from the 60's now. We talked about fun camps we had worked at over the summer and it just felt like I made a real connection in this house.

Then I had a break......

Then I went to Guys and Dolls. Well I was disappointed that this house was not quite as great as I remember but I still had a good time. I definitly had houses that were better times. But I had an okay time. The girl that I went on a tour with was a shy girl who just talked in a soft voice. But we were able to connect on some level but I totally forget it. I now understand that not everyone is a great recruiter. It was such a fun expeirience in the end ...and she was able to seem excited. But then the next girl that I talked to just seemed to know me. She kept asking me questions that just seemed to be beyond the basic recruitment questions so far.

Then off to Hairspray I went. This house made me sad that they were on my list because I deemed them as a struggeling house. But I do not think I gave it a fair share. I was so set upon not giving them a good chance. But honeslty I had an okay time but I wanted to be in a house that had more members. But I had an good time on their tour and I remember the girl giving it complemented me on my necklace that I was wearing.

Then off to Your A Good Man Charlie Brown. This house just blew me away and in a good way. All the girls that I saw on the tour seemed to be high energy and it was as if they were intrested in getting to know me. But the girls I had a tour with was totally sweet and she was a sophomore. She was just someone that I knew I could see myself with. She was their to make me laugh....I had a smile on the house bigger then usual when I left the house. Wow Charlie Brown had totally shot up my scale. I was excited to be at this house. The girl that I talked to afterwards was talking in a kids voice but she was a education major and I thought that her voice was cute.

Then off to Our Town. I was tired and excited to be here. This was one awfully long day. But the girl I talked to was somewhere where I had tons of fun. The girls that I talked to in this oddly shaped house was just somewhere when I could see myself hanging out with friends. But their house was just totally diverse and many unique individuals. I talked to some girls that just seemed like cute girls. I know that I had lots of fun here. The girl that gave me the tour was silly and I liked it because I can be silly at many times.
