And, since I'm feeling slightly generous, here is my second day!
The next day, we gathered to tour the final four houses left, and I was still feeling pretty good about the previous day, even though there had been some little goofs during the day.
6. The sixth house I visited, the first this day, was Digit, one of my other favorite houses from before rush. Their philanthropy was right in line with my major, the girls that I had met were really nice, and I had liked everything that I saw on their website, etc. I know that websites and things like that aren't great indicators of what a chapter is truly like, but I really felt hopeful about this house. When I was in the house, I fell in love quickly. All of the girls were really sweet, and I even met a girl that lived in a nearby town, which was sort of rare where I come from. They were very enthusiastic about what they did for their philanthropy, and about their chapter as a whole, and I really felt like I had a lot in common with these girls. I left with this house as my number one so far.
7. After that, I visited Freshwater, and I was definitely excited to meet these girls. I had known a couple of them from my classes, and I knew that they were really sweet girls, if not a little shy. While in there, they discussed what goes on in their chapter as a member, such as the work that they do with various community agencies, and other campus activities they were involved in. While I didn't feel as at home as I did in the last house, I felt very welcome, and I was looking forward to getting to know more about their house in the future.
8. The next to last house I visited was Parfait Amour, and once again, I knew a couple of the girls from the house, and I knew that they were a fairly popular house. Their letters could always be seen around campus. I only spoke to one girl this time, and I was very relieved to hear that she was literally into all of the same things that I was. We had a great conversation, discussing gossip magazines, makeup, their philanthropy and pretty much anything else that happened to be brought up. They were very open about their house, without shoving everything in my face, which was nice. I left this house knowing that they were my new favorite.
9. The final house that I went to was Carbon, and was one of the houses that I thought I had no chance of getting into prior to rush. Everything that I had heard about this house was wonderful, even if they're not the most popular house on campus. All of the girls were very energetic and eager to discuss their house and philanthropy, which they were very passionate about. We were also allowed to sit down once in their chapter room, which felt incredibly nice at the end of a very long day! This chapter wasn't my favorite, but it was definitely in my top three, but I didn't want to get my hopes up.
When we got back to the union to rank our houses, I ranked mine as is:
1. Parfait Amour
2. Digit
3. Carbon
4. Freshwater
5. Black Tied
6. Stars 'N Rockets
7. Motif
8. Deep Truth
9. Woodwinked
And, since I forgot to include the chapters in my above post, my school has:
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Phi
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Alpha Sigma Tau
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Zeta
Kappa Delta
Sigma Kappa
Sigma Sigma Sigma
