I realized I never told ya'll what I knew about the groups going into recruitment. I am going to strive to be very honest...so uh...here it goes.
Barbara Villiers- I had heard that these girls didn't have a strong sisterhood on the whole. Like older members(seniors) wouldn't hang out with newer members(sophomores) and they can be very divided, as a house.
Madame De Pompadour-Again a group I knew very little about, except that they were a smaller house.
Nell Gwynne--I don't think I knew anything about these girls going in. I had actually met a couple of the girls in this group(at the fraternity i hung out at) without even knowing it! This group was also known the be on the rise, so to speak on campus; they were bringing there numbers up dramatically and a lot of groups wanted to do things with them.
Camilla Parker Bowles-Oh, Camilla Parker Bowles....I can genuinely say these girls are nice, but exceedingly awkward...they have a lot of girls who don't seem as if they'd be in a sorority, but they have one of the strongest sisterhoods on our campus.
Madame Du Barry-These are the blonds with lots makeup, money, and tan...They are what one of my guy friends called "the girls you party with, but not the marrying kind". I met some very nice girls from this group, pre-recruitment, but they were a little dim, which turned me off. However, one of my very good friends "Sara" wanted this house very badly.
Alice Keppel- These girls I knew to be very down to earth and fun, but not very active and they tend to be partiers. A favorite teacher from my hometown had a daughter here, so they recruited me really hard.
Bessie Blount-Another group I knew only a little about. A smaller group.
Maria Walewska-Yet another group where I went in a little blind...I didn't know what to expect.
Lola Montez-I didn't start out knowing much, except that these girls have a lot of in-fighting and it's very public. Which is sad 'cause I know some of the most fun girls from here now, but going into recruitment, their reputation was very off-putting.
Diane De Poitiers-This group is notoriously competitive and close-knit.
Louise De Kerouaille- This is a group that a lot of the fraternities want to be with...the girls are very pretty, but like the Du Barrys they are all very similar in looks, except Brunette and this is a fact they are proud of. I met a couple of them, pre-recruitment, but they were Gamma Chi's so I didn't see them during...They have a reputation for being b****y to other girls...and I witnessed some of that first hand at some parties...so that's a little awkward.
