Today was house tours!!!
YAY FOR TOURS! I was excited to get to go back to all 4 houses!
The only thing I found to be EXTREMELY awkward, and somewhat inappropriate, was that at 2 out of the 4 houses I was asked what house I plan on joining (and not just once but 4 times total)! I don’t know if this is a normal question to ask us PNMs, but I was very put off by it.
Anyway...
The first house I visited was Western. Their house was adorable and the girls are very sweet and seem great but I still cannot see myself fitting in there. I don’t think it’s the type of place where I would feel comfortable and I just couldn’t imagine the girls as my best friends.
The second house was Hunter/Jumper. Their house is humongous and absolutely gorgeous! I really liked the fun and friendly atmosphere at this house but I found that at times the conversation was very slow and there were several uncomfortable pauses.
The third house was Equitation. This house was adorable and seemed like somewhere I could have sooooo much fun! Again today I got to talk to several different girls which I thought was really great because it gave me a better idea of the group as a whole. This is definitely my favorite house!
The fourth house was Showmanship. This was my least favorite chapter of the night. I felt that the conversation was very strange and slightly inappropriate for recruitment (lots of boy talk! (which is normally my favorite kind of talk but i thought it was a little awkward for a recruitment party) Lol!) Their house was beautiful, but this group really left a “bad taste in my mouth”.
After all the tours we had to go back to our Rho Chi groups and pick two chapters to drop…
Tomorrow is Pref so hopefully everything goes well... i'm sooo nervous!
