Here comes round 2!! I got my schedule back in the morning and I was very nervous/excited. I took a look at it and here is what it said:
Gold
Coral
Navy
Forest Green
Orange
Lime Green
Hot Pink
Teal
Crimson
Black
It was bittersweet. I had 10 out a possible 11 which was good for such a competitive school, and I liked all these houses and was very happy
Teal was on there, but I was upset not to see
Sky Blue and
Dark Purple. I was a little surprised about
Yellow not being there, but not terribly disappointed, and I kind of expected not to see
Lavender,
Silver and
Brown. I was still very positive and I started the round 2 which was the “philanthropy” or “craft” round and consisted of 30 minute parties:
Lime Green= I really liked it here this round. The girl who rushed me ended up being my friend’s cousin who I had never met before, but she asked what high school I went to and it basically unraveled from there. She was super sweet and down to earth and someone I could definitely see myself being friends with.
Hot Pink=this wasn’t as exciting of a time. I was still convinced I wouldn’t fit in here and didn’t get any special feelings about it
Black= I had an ok time this round. The first girl I talked to was very sweet and then I got bumped to a girl I went to high school with who I hadn’t really liked that much but it was refreshing to talk to someone I already knew and not have the same conversation again.
Navy= I had a really good time here. The girl I rushed looked exactly like my cousin which was very funny, and we talked about how I was living with my best friend and she had done the same freshman year and assured me it would be awesome unlike many people said. The girls seemed really sweet and easygoing, which I liked.
Forest Green=I hadn’t liked this house first round but this time it was a lot of fun. The girl I talked to was very goofy and animated and I felt like I could be myself around her. We had a funny conversation about food (seemed to be a popular topic ha) and how we both played soccer.
Crimson= I liked this house a lot better than I had first round. The girl who rushed me was very sweet and funny, almost a little ditzy but pretty entertaining to talk to and we clicked really well.
Orange= By far my favorite this round. I had a lot in common with the girl who rushed me. It was literally a very involved, nonstop conversation about anything and everything and we seemed to share the same opinions on many things. She was so funny and I thought she would be someone I would love to call my sister. The other sister at my table I didn't get to talk to as much, but she seemed really nice and sophisticated
Gold=I liked this house again. Not my favorite but I definitely enjoyed it and thought the girls were all sweet and cute and that it would be a house I would certainly fit in with. Everytime I told this to my friends all of them told me they didn’t see me fitting there which bothered me, but I really like the house nonetheless.
Teal= Not as great of an experience this time. The girl I talked to really didn’t have too much in common with me and it was not such a great conversation. I really wanted to have a good time here since I liked it so much first round and was already interested in this house before recruitment, but it just didn’t happen for me. I still had some hopes about going back here though.
Coral= This was an ok time. The girl who rushed me was very sweet but we didn’t have much to talk about and she didn’t seem too interested in me.
At the end of the two days, we had to rank. There would be a possible 7 parties next round so we had to “drop” 4 houses. This was a little tougher this time around, but I tried to used my best judgment to make my bottom 4:
4.
Black
3.
Hot Pink
2.
Coral
1.
Crimson
Stay tuned for round 3...it starts to get weird but also things begin to fall in place
