Well, I am officially signed up for rush as of 5 minutes ago, I felt GC should be the first to know. I've gone back and forth the past 3 weeks, the last year, really, but I figure I don't have anything to lose, so I should just go for it! No turning back now!
I'm going to try my very, very hardest to put preconceived notions aside. Being here for a year and a half in addition to starting to rush last year, I have some lingering preferences, but I've changed in the past year. The houses I liked last year may seem entirely different to me now, so I am going in with the most open mind I can have. It should be noted that I've met girls from all of our houses outside of rush and at least one girl from every house was a sweet, kind, and all-around good person. I'm taking that as a good sign!
Now, the fun part!
We have 12 houses here. I have a really strange obsession with England and all things English and London is my favorite city in the world. I really hope I can call it my home one day. In honor of that, I chose different landmarks and attractions in the city to represent the houses.
Abbey Road
The London Eye
St. Paul's Cathedral
Covent Gardens
Westminster Abbey
Millennium Bridge
Tower of London
Piccadilly Circus
Buckingham Palace
Trafalgar Square
Big Ben
Tower Bridge
Just some candid, juicy details: In the back of my mind, I am rooting for Abbey Road and Piccadilly Circus (but I'm not focusing on them! promise!). I've loved every girl I've met from these houses. I've been told I'd fit in nicely at The London Eye and Covent Gardens, whose members ironically, I haven't met many of. The three "top" houses (in my opinion) are Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and St. Paul's Cathedral.
I should be receiving an email this week about a pre-rush meeting to meet our Rho Gammas and then Rush starts next friday night, February 1st! The next installment I suppose will be after the first meeting!
