Blair Waldorf- I got picked up by my good guy friends girlfriend. This kind of bothered me because 1) I knew she wasnt really involved with her house and 2) I already met her the 1st day. But the 'picking up' of the PNM's was way random (line of actives that picked up a PNM based on where they were in line). I was handed off to another active and she asked me the standard questions. I tried to veer away from these questions by asking her questions that were not 'typical' (I asked things like "have you gone to 'this mall'? I used to work at 'this place'." and she would answer, "oh thats so cool, i love their stuff. where's your hometown?") blah.
I left blair still EXTATIC about my amazing list!
Serena van der Woodsen- I was paired up with a girl who looked oddily like me. we laughed about that. This one active even came up to us and was like "tania, is that you sister who is going through recruitment you were talking about (I guess her REAL sister was going through recruitment). My name is lisa, ive heard so much about you!" Tania and I looked at each other and laughed. Then we explained to the active. She laughed with us. These girls really seemed interested in what I was saying. It was a totally different level. I left loving the girls. I loved that the active knew that tania's sister was going through recruitment. At alot of the houses, it almost seemed like when they 'switched girls' the sisters did not even know each other. but tania and the other active knew each other and looked like good friends! It was different this time. the house itself no longer looked like the 'dark' house I thought it was. Now it was just pleasent and beautiful. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
Jenny Humphrey- Met a BEAUTIFUL girl and we talked about dance team in high school and how we both could not master this one move. They did a skit. This was cool because my floormate was in it and when everyone was pointing at people in the skit, she pointed at me a zillion times and made eye contact. As we headed to the door, I bumped into the girl who was the lead of the skit. I told her she did amazing. She thanked me and asked for my name and introduced herself (it was SUPER nopisy since we were near the door. I hope she heard me!!!)
Ryan Atwood- As I waited outside with the rest of the PNM's I kind of felt out of place here. I could feel myself thinking of how I should act. These PNM's weren't like the PNM's at Serena. They were all Regina George (mean girls) clones. Despite this, I walked in the house when I was instructed. The first active went really well. then the second active came. We were talking about all kinds of things from our favorite campus diners to the guy in the library who always sleeps in the same place at the same time everyday (true story). I left the house still stoked about my schedule. I didnt know what to make of Ryan because the actives seemed so cool, but the PNM's (and my potential pledge class) were girls that really made me feel uncomfortable. I didnt want to turn into something i was not. confused
Seth Cohen- I really did not like it here. It was very 'by the book' conversation. same questions that the girl asked the day before. Honestily, since that girl who deactivated this house kind of let out some of their ritual, it didnt seem special. i know thats harsh, but ritual is so secretive and very inticing. Without it, it just isnt the same.
Marissa Cooper- I felt wierd being in this house. I mean, I had wanted it so much last year. now it was on the very bottom of my list (?!?!) It was cool that they asked me back, but I know how loyal i am to friends. I know I cannot be in a house with many of the sisters hating one of my good friends (the girl from Marissa took the break up very hard and still had not gotten over it.) I kept repectful, but definitely did not go out of my way to ask tons of questions.
now to the ranking (4 number 1's)
