1st Day Rounds
Tomatoes- I was really excited to go to Tomatoes. When I got there the first girl I talked to was stunningly beautiful and talkative, we talked about school and studying abroad. The next girl I talked to I knew through one of my housemates. They had gone to high school together and had disliked each other rather strongly. She recognized me as her housemate and didn't seem very interested in talking to me. I tried to surreptitiously look for Anna but it was a big house and she was a small person so I didn't see her. A couple other girls that I knew said hi to me. I left the house feeling disappointed. They were the most selective house on campus, so I knew with a sinking feeling that I was probably going to be cut.
Carrots- Carrots seemed like a nice house. They came late in the day so I was pretty tired though. The house had high ceilings which amplified the noise. It was really hard to hear what the girls were saying to me so the conversation was not as smooth as it could've been.
Artichokes- The Artichokes had a choreographed routine for when they opened the door. It was very synchronized and all the girls were impressed and a little scared I think. I met some pretty, pleasant girls here. One of them talked about how being in a sorority helped her become less shy. I've always been a little shy myself so I felt like we connected pretty well. I liked the Artichokes but I wasn't in love with them.
Spinach- I was double rushed here. The rusher kept asking odd questions like which Harry Potter character would you most like to be? I didn't feel right her but I talked and was friendly because the girls seemed nice enough.
Potatoes- I was double rushed here too. Their house was gorgeous, we sat outside in their patio under wisteria. I had some unmemorable conversations here, but all the girls seemed sweet and I enjoyed my time there.
Eggplants- I had really high expectations for Eggplants but they weren't fully realized. I had good, but not great conversations with the girls here. I still really though that I could fit here despite it.
Lettuce- Lettuce had a very impressive display when they opened their doors. They had all the girls arranged on the staircase to meet PNMS and it seemed like 90% of them were blonde and tan. I talked to a beautiful brunette girl, however. She was very animated, I could hardly get a word in edgewise. I talked to another couple girls about studying abroad and clicked with one of them. Despite feeling like I would be one of 3 brunettes in the entire house, I liked the house a lot.
Mushrooms- I was dreading going to this house and running into my old roommate. Thankfully, I didn't see her. I really liked the girls in this house. I was surprised my old roommate was in this house. Afterwards I was hoping to be asked back despite my ex-roommate.
Squash- The conversation felt very awkward and strained at this house though I'm not exactly sure why. They seemed a little aloof. The only notes I took were 'nice girls, but probably not the house for me?'
Cucumbers- I had some good conversations at the cucumbers, though I didn't see anyone that I knew.
At the end of the first round I ranked my houses:
Tomatoes
Eggplants
Lettuce
Mushrooms
Artichokes
Carrots
Cucumbers
Squash
Potatoes
Spinach
