First night!

Ok ladies so tonight was the first night. At 6 we went to the meeting place to meet up with our Pi Chis and then started out. In between each house we had ten minute breaks and of course it was raining. So here we go, in order of the houses I visited!!

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
The girls were yelling and screaming as we waited outside for our Pi Chis to knock and let us in. We got in and the yelling and singing kept on and I linked up with this really loud girl Annie. So we started talking and then they did a skit, talking about the sorority and the sisterhood. Then the now Sophomores talked about how they knew what we were going through and sang the Jessica Simpson song "With You" with the words all about RPBCs. It was soo cute! I'd love to make a comment about the beverage I was given but it will give it away because it's a RPBC tradition so I'll keep mum on that. Anyways, I talked to and really connected with two or three more girls, with Annie constantly coming back and she saw me off before we were ushered into the rain again! So far, awesome! I had previously been in love with RPBCs so I was so excited when my impression of them and excitement was totally added to by tonight's experience.

Snickers
The snickers group was high on my list too, right after RPBCs so I was excited to go to their house next! After waiting the required time we went inside, greeted by singing Snickers girls who sat us down and did a cute skit, giving us information in a very interesting way. Afterwards I talked to my host, Lauren who was actually an alum. We walked around and looked at the various displays and talked about philanthropy and sisterhood and I had a great feeling about it all. Not 1000% as excited as I was about Reese's but it happens. Before I knew it it was time to go off to the next house. I was still pretty excited about Snickers and it came in second.

M&Ms
M&Ms were yelling and screaming and cheering inside the house while we waited outside. It was craaazy. When we finally got inside we were picked up by a sister and of course talked, bonded, and had a fun time. The sisters did a song about the M&Ms to Baby Got Back. It was very, very interesting adn very funny. Here I got to talk to four or five sisters and I got to decorate a CD as part of their philanthropy. As of open house I hadn't been very impressed by them when some one walked off and completely ignored me after quickly answering my question about philanthropy. But after tonight my impression jumped a space and I was much happier around them, and really felt the sisterhood vibe!

Skittles
The Skittles girls were in my mind the stereotypical sorority. So on open house I was really excited to see that wasn't true and I really liked what I saw. So tonight while we waited outside and they yelled a cheered (at half the noise from earlier in the night) I was really excited to go inside. Well needless to say it turned back on them. The girl who picked me up was nice, and was actually in one of my classes. However she ditched me quickly, and left me with two random sisters, neither of whom looked comfortable or in place. Soon however another sister came and she was awesome. But the very practiced, almost fake planned evening of the sorority knocked them back down. It all seemed very rehearsed from the rewording of "Summer of 69" to the random bell being ringed to get everyone's attention, to sisters randomly standing up and spewing some super sugar coated nonsense. So they dropped a spot.

Once all was said and done we went across campus to a computer lab and put in our votes. Mine were:

1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
2. Snickers
3. M&Ms
4. Skittles

So yeah, there you have it! If you want any more info, I'm in North Carolina at a little school. Anything else you'll have to ask!
