Lets fast forward to the first day of open house parties.

My group met and or Rho Gammas outlined our schedule. Today we will be visiting Otter, Hoover, Niedermaye, and Flounder! Before we went to parties though, we went to the Faber Student Center for what they called Recruitment Kick-Off. The Panhellenic Executive Board introduced themselves, and members from all 12 sororities were there, cheering loudly as each house showed their slideshow. This is where I got really nervous. There were about 800 girls there. I got really worried about being dropped completely.

We then began house visits.

Otter- I remember being terrified as I walked into the house. I knew the girls would be singing and shouting, but I had no idea it would be that loud and crazy. As we walked in, a girl put her hands on my shoulder and guided me...no...shoved me to her spot in the living room. Conversation was not awkward at all, but I didn't really feel like I connected with the first girl. It got better as I spoke to more girls, but I didn't feel that comfortable at Otter.

Hoover- Hoover is a smaller house, so some girls were doubled up. I got doubled up with Amanda, and we spoke to three girls. The first girl spoke to us both, and she was really nice. The second girl, I remember, really only spoke to me. She and I got along really well, but I felt bad that she was ignoring Amanda. The third girl did the same thing! I liked the house a lot, but I felt so bad for Amanda.

Niedermayer- I loved this house. Three out of four conversations were great, but one was a little forced. I knew a few girls in this house, so I was happy when a few came over to say hello to me.

Flounder- This house had nice girls, but they weren't people I had that much in common with. I also knew, from a source that shouldn't had told me, that they were on social probabtion and couldn't have parties. I had some okay conversations, but knew that I would be dropping this house.

The next day, I'll be meeting with the other 8 sororities at Faber! Stay tuned!
