Open House Take 2

We wasted no time this morning and were off pretty early.
Ducks: I was the first of my friends to go there so I had not heard anything about it. While walking and reading about this sorority, I began to have a bad taste in my mouth. I think it was the symbol or something, but I was just not into it. Again we crowded into a small room and waited. I looked for people I knew, but did not see any. The sisters came in and two girls next to me started picking out which ones they knew since one of their sisters was in Ducks. That made me feel really good about their chances here, not so much mine. The same thing happened as before, a sister came and grabbed one or two girls and led them into the other room. I tried to be solo but it couldn’t be avoided. The same small talk happened and I ended up falling in love with this house. I wanted this house!
Huskies: This house was actually on campus, which I loved since my dorms were the farthest off, how great would that be to be on campus! This house also called names and they used my last name here! (double points!) The house seemed a little dark but cozy in a way. The girl was great and we hit it off. The other PNM was a girl who did not seem to want to be there. I don’t understand why, but she just sat there in silence. I thought it was weird but I didn't mind much. I loved this house.
Cougars: Oh Cougars. From the outside it was okay, from the inside… not so much. The moment I walked in I felt like I didn't belong. The girls seemed really sweet and were trying so hard, but I felt like I shouldn't be there. I don't know if it was the girls I was with or if all the stress had gotten to me. I really wanted to give them a second chance though. I hope tomorrow will be better, hopefully the stress/girls will be different. I love their philanthropy!
Bears: The last house! I felt like death and I probably looked like it too. My cheeks hurt so much from smiling and my ears rang from all the loud talking at other parties. The house was gorgeous and was right across the street from student union. The girls came down the stairs and I tried to perk up a little bit. I really liked the color of their shirts (all of the sororities had the same shirts except in their colors). The sister and the girl I was paired up with were both visibly tired. I tried to work up the energy to talk and be cheerful. I don’t think I really succeeded. In the end, I didn’t feel much at this house until they did a cute song and dance at the end. I am a dancer so this does matter to me. I wouldn't mind coming back.

So at the end we walked back to a lecture hall and scored our picks. Seven sororities get 1s then a 2 and a 3.

1. Beavers
1. Ducks
1. Huskies
1. Wildcats
1. Sun Devils
1. Bears
1. Cougars
2. Bruins
3. Trojans

I felt okay about my descisions though I felt somewhat guilty about cutting the two chapters I had been familiar with.
