Monday morning we reported to the Row super early to start going to parties. My PX group did not have a party in the first slot, so we were able to sit in the shade for a little bit.
Listening to the parties start up around us had us all excited. We couldn’t wait to start!
Finally we got going in this order:
Indians: We lined up and we could hear them singing and clapping in their house. Suddenly the doors burst open and the sound surrounded us! “Indians…Indians…”
They were out on their balcony singing down on us and lined up the stairs in their foyer! Wow! The party was fun, but over so fast! I met several girls, everyone was nice, but I was so overwhelmed. Their house was gorgeous, and during the tour, I got to talk to really nice actives that seemed generally interested in getting to know me.
Deputies: Our next house was so much fun, too! Singing, clapping, cheering! A girl from my hometown had also just graduated from this house, and she had told them to look out for me. I was introduced to SO many people. I really felt like this house wanted me to like them as much as I wanted them to like me.
Purdy Ladies: This house was wonderful. Everyone I met seemed very down-to-earth. They have a really cool house, and all three girls that I talked to for long periods of time seemed like they could be my best friends. Very relaxed feeling at this house.
Bandits: I was a little nervous for this house….but once they started singing as we entered, I relaxed. The girl that greeted me at the door was beautiful…and very easy to talk to. She introduced me to the recruitment chair and president, and (it seemed like) a million of her friends. Their house tour was fun, too. Every girl at this house seemed to LOVE their chapter.
Barkeeps: The girls at this house were sweet-as-can-be. They are smaller, so each member had to take two PNMs, but the girl I talked to was so kind. Their house is really cool, too. Kinda modern, and with big rooms upstairs. They were very nice, but I didn’t feel a real connection to them.
Sheriffs: This house was really cool. As we walked in, they were all around their upstairs balcony singing down to us. The girls I talked to actually had real conversations with me, and wanted to get to know me. I got to meet a lot of people at this house, too.
Cowboys: This was the last house of the day, and you could tell that everyone (Members and PNMs) was exhausted. The poor girl I talked to was so quiet, and kind of difficult to get anything out of. This is a really well-thought-of house on campus, but I felt totally disconnected to all three girls I met.
