So today we continued and visited the other 6 houses:
Boys II Men: This house has one of the best reputations on campus and i went in thinking that this would be the house i would want to join (bad, i know). I was highly disappointed. I didnt feel as though this house lived up to the hype at all. The conversation was slightly forced and I didn't find their story the least bit funny. This was not the best way to start my day.
Westlife: This house was the opposite for me, it had a not so hot reputation around campus and an unattractive house (the actual physical structure). It was at this house that i had some of the best conversations i have had all rush. I had several things in common with most of the girls i talked to and was finally able to stray form the traditional, mundane conversations i had been having for the past 2 days. But, their story wasnt funny and I have a feud with one of the sisters in the house.
O-Town: This house also has a very positive reputation and this time it lived up to it. I knew a few sisters in this house and they all made sure to come up and say hi. The girls were friendly and full of energy. The conversation didnt lag, the story was funny, and the house is beautiful. Nothing negative to say about this one.
N*Sync: I went into this house without any preconceived notions, as i had heard so many different things from so many different people. I thought the song they screamed/sang upon entering was really cute and catchy. The sisters were friendly, but the conversation didnt keep me all that interested. I also did not find their story funny, and had to force myself to laugh at certain parts. I was tired at this point, and left the house as indifferent as when i entered.
Blackstreet: The next sorority i entered was kind of far away from the others and i was not a huge fan of the exterior. However, the girls i talked to in this house were really friendly and the conversation was good. I had a few things in common with a lot of girls and they seemed to take a genuine interest in me. Theyre story was cute, but not as good as some of the others. At this point i've realized that the stories are a great way to gauge how similar your sense of humor is to the house, and that is really important to me. I left this house pleasantly surprised.
New Kids on the Block. FINALLY. The last house. I was so tired at this point that I just wanted it to be over with. Luckily the girl who grabbed me grabbed my friend as well, so there were two of us to one person, this took some of the mental pressure off since i was definitely lacking at the moment. The girls i knew in the sorority went out of their way to come over and say hello, which was much appreciated. The conversation was decent, but I did not find their story funny in the least.
At the end of all 12 houses we went back to a room and got our preference cards. For house tours tomorrow, we can visit up to 9 houses, and marked 1 next to the 9 houses we would like to return to. We then number our least favorites 2, 3, and 4. I ranked as follows:
2. B2K
3. 98 Degrees
4. Backstreet Boys
We get our sheet of houses tomorrow morning. Im anxious, excited, and pretty nervous. I cant wait to see the houses!
