[Pirouette]

Round 1:

Charlie Brown: 1st house, and even though Steph knew to expect the loud cheers, nothing could prepare her for the noise. She met three sisters, and had okay conversations, but she had to lead them. Overall, she left unimpressed.

Franklin: This house went better than her first. The first sister she spoke with was great, but the second was a little shy. But they did have the same major so they spoke about what Steph could expect in her first semester classes. Steph would like to return to Franklin.

Frieda: Frieda has been struggling with numbers for a while. The sisters were nice, but there was some awkwardness. Also, having to share her rusher with another PNM was kind of a turn off. This was the only house where Steph could not see herself at all.

Linus: This is the sorority Steph’s mom is a member of so she was very excited for this house. Linus did not disappoint! Steph connected with her three rushers and did not want to leave!

Lucy: This is Steph’s second legacy house, but it didn’t go as well as Linus. She could not find anything to talk about with her second rusher. However, everyone else was nice. And she loved the stain glass window of their symbol.

Marcie: It was the last house of the day and they still had a lot of energy. Steph didn’t seem to have much in common with them, but she thought they were really fun and would love to return for the next round.

Peppermint Patty: For the first house of the day, they were pretty mellow. Steph liked their laidback personalities, but didn’t really click with half of her rushers. She left this house feeling indifferent.

Pig-Pen: Steph liked this house a lot. Her last rusher was really funny and Steph was still laughing when she left the house. She actually laughed so hard on her way out that she tripped on the front steps!

Rerun: This was another great house. She seemed to have something in common with all four of the women who rushed her. She would love to come back.

Sally: This is her older sister’s sorority (her sister attends a different school) so she really wanted to like it, but didn’t seem to connect with several of the women in the chapter. She’s willing to give it another shot because of her sister though.

Schroeder: Before the party started, her recruitment group could not figure out how to pronounce one of the Greek letters and they all paid super close attention to the door chant to figure it out. Steph had fun at this sorority. She didn’t have to think about smiling because her smile came naturally during their party.

Snoopy: This was another sorority that Steph didn’t feel one way or another about. The sisters were nice but nothing about them really stood out.

The Great Pumpkin: This is a colony. Steph wasn’t sure if she wanted to get involved in the colony process but would be willing to give them a shot if recruitment didn’t work out.

Violet: Steph also liked this house. There were only a couple awkward moments, but they moved on quickly. The party seemed to go by quickly.

Woodstock: Steph was dragging by this house. However, they seemed to have even more energy than the last house of yesterday. She’s sure the sisters are fun, but she’s not sure if she could have the same energy level as them.
