So so sorry for the delay! To be honest I sort of forgot, I've been extremely busy this summer. I'll post the last two nights quickly, sorry to keep you waiting!

Round 3, House Tours:

I was so nervous about getting my invites for this round, I was hoping to still return to all five houses, I didn't know if I could stand any more upsetting cuts. There was a break between round 2 and 3 (a day or two, I think) so the waiting game was miserable. I was one of the first to meet at my Rho Chi group's meeting spot, and one of the last to get my schedule. It was SO TERRIBLE waiting. My Rho Chi showed me my schedule, it said:

Blue Eyed Girl
Shorely Blue
Fallin in Love a Little

(sorry if the colors are a little off, i sort of forgot which ones I was using)

I thought I would be upset about the absence of Cherry Begonias but I honestly didn't care. I still had Blue Eyed Girl. My Rho Chi asked me a few times if I was okay... she knew about my former love affair with Cherry Begonias, but I was fine! After reading Greek Chat I knew it only takes one...

Blue Eyed Girl
I was SO excited to be returning here tonight, after I fell in love during the previous round I had extremely high hopes for this one. It didn't fail to impress! The house was gorgeous, I loved the upstairs. I was getting along so well with the active that was showing me around that we didn't even make it to any of the food tables before the bell signaled the end of the round. She apologized, but I told her that I didn't mind at all (even though the food DID look pretty great). As I was leaving she said "I hope to see you tomorrow!" Ahhhh, I was so happy! I was trying not to get my hopes up, because I know things happen, but I would be crushed if I was not invited back to this house.

Shorely Blue
I wasn't quite as thrilled to be going back to this house, just because I felt like I hadn't made any great connections yet. However, I knew that I needed to keep my options open, especially since I had so few houses left. The house was nice, but nothing extraordinary. I liked that there was a quiet study space. I just didn't know if I could see myself being anything more than friends with this group of girls.

Fallin in Love a Little
I was rather unhappy to be returning to this house, after several awkward conversations it was no longer in the running for me. I had the worst conversation of rush at this house, and it just set my mind that this house was NOT for me. The girls were nice and cute, but I didn't fit the image that most of them portrayed. I really disliked the house, it needed some work done... I had no idea why the girls were so excited to show it off.

At the end of the night the rankings were easy (I didn't have to rank any in the bottom). In order of my preference they are:

Blue Eyed Girl
Shorely Blue
Fallin in Love a Little
