Today was the first day of Open House round! It was so much fun. Our Rho Chis would only tell us one house at a time and I was soo nervous when I heard that we had Captain America first! It was really intimidating. When we lined up outside, I didn't know what to expect. I had researched recruitment so much but suddenly I started to think of all the things I hadn't done: practiced questions, bought new sandals, etc. Everyone got out their calling cards and the door opened. We filed in and we were each introduced by the Rho Chi to the girl at the front door and by the girl at the front door to the President. The girl assigned to talk to each person met her at the bottom of the stairs.
Captain America: There were so many people everywhere and the house was completely packed! The girl I had led me out to the porch, where we sat on a bench and started talking. She was awesome! She seemed like someone I would have been friends with if we had just met in class or something. The next girl I had was soo enthusiastic, I loved it. The third girl, however did not seem into our conversation at all, like she was too cool for the whole thing. The last girl was very sweet but not a terrible good rusher. The conversation stalled and she kept talking about how she had no idea what she was doing. Overall, a great first recruitment experience! Being in this house built my confidence about the whole process. I hadn't previously considered myself a great fit for this chapter and had expected to not have a great time. But I did! It was great.
Hulk: I actually had a rec for this house (very uncommon for my school, but a family friend insisted). Three of the four girls I talked to were awesome. One of them is actually a friend of mine! It was great. The fourth girl only talked about herself the whole time, which was a little off-putting but less work for me. It was also soo loud in here I had to yell. Really, really liked it here.
Silver Surfer: I was expecting to really like this house but the conversations I had were just awkward and filled with long pauses. I didn't connect with any of the girls I talked to. Rogue LOVED this house and I'm really hoping they don't cut me so I can give them a second chance.
Thor: The color scheme in the house was overwhelming. Had two very strange conversations, one with a girl who was actually borderline rude. The third girl I talked to, though, was soo sweet!
Wolverine: My roommate's sorority. I didn't see her while I was there but I LOVED it. Loved all the girls I talked to and could really see myself here.
Spider-man: Even though everyone was tired by this point, I had amazing conversations here. Talked to one girl about travel for ten minutes. I could see myself here, as well.
Tomorrow we'll visit the remaining five sororities. I can't wait!
