sorry for the delay everybody!!!

On the third day, we were to be invited back to a max of four houses. The attire was a little more formal, like sundresses and such. I got invited back to:

Toofer
Jack
Pete

I was only mildly bummed that I didn't get a full schedule, but I was happy that I still got Jack (one of my top picks). I had a free hour in the beginning, so I think I spent it going home and curling my hair out of boredom, hahaha.

TOOFER: We walked into their backyard and actives came out and called our names one by one. My name was called out by a girl who I had met earlier that spring (went on a roadtrip with her and some other Toofer girls that I was invited to by my Toofer best friend), so it was pretty fun and relaxing to talk with her as we did the little craft that they assigned. We didn't even go off the typical recruitment script, we just talked about life and our summers and her new apartment and things like that. After that I talked to another girl where the conversation was casual as well. This girl was nice but a little odd; she made a couple of questionable remarks that could be touted as racism (maybe it was her attempt to be funny? I'm not really sure) and didn't seem like the most genuine conversationalist. Oh well! I left Toofer not too impressed.

JACK: I was a little nervous for this house. I don't know what it was but visiting their house on Day 2 made me REALLY like them and feel so happy there. My name was called out by a girl I'd spoke to before, so I was really excited to see her again. We went on a house tour and they talked about their philanthropy. From the presentations, it seemed like the girls at this house did a LOT of philanthropy--they held fundraisers and also went out and spent time with the subjects of their philanthropy and contributed to the campus community with their philanthropy as well---I was definitely SUPER impressed. Two or three other girls I'd met before spoke to me after that, and each time I met them we hugged and they seemed as happy to see me again as I was to see them. It was really relaxed and we pretty much just talked about pets and reality television and had a lot of fun. I left this house really happy and hoping to get invited back!

PETE: I was definitely still elated from Jack, but I tried to keep an open mind for Pete. It was nice talking to the girls I had spoken to before at Pete, but their philanthropy efforts didn't impress me as much as Pete's. I did have a nice conversation with one of the girls with how we both wanted to live in New York City someday! Haha.

When I made my rankings that evening, I definitely knew that I wanted to put Jack as first. I was pretty sure that I wasn't interested in Toofer, so I ranked Pete as my second 1. My rankings looked like:

1. Jack
1. Pete
2. Toofer

Will post about Pref night in the next 15 minutes!
