Rush day 1- Open Parties
ABILENE- Our first party! Greatly exceeded my expectations, I had soo much fun! I connected with the first girl I talked to more than the second. This party got me hyped up for the rest of the day and helped get rid of my nerves. The house mom was awesome. She seemed very nice and fun, doing a little dance around the porch. I wouldn’t mind coming back here.
EL PASO- This party was even better than the last. I got to talk to a few girls. I connected very well with one and had a nice chat with the other. Those two seemed as excited to talk to me and I was to them. The last girl I talked to, though, didn’t seem enthusiastic at all about talking to me- that was a downer. The girls here were so intimidating but only because they put the focus on us, it was intense! I would love to come back to this house.
FT. WORTH- This party was not as fun as I had hoped- probably because I was stuttering more here than other places and didn’t connect as well with as many of these girls as in other houses. I still hoped to come back to see if we could grow on each other.
GALVESTON-I’m not sure how much I can say about this since it was one of the colonies, but they gave the most impeccable presentation I have ever seen.
HOUSTON- This house was louder than all the others. It made the experience a little uncomfortable because the girls talking to us were very close to my face. I didn’t like it as much as the others because they seemed pushier than other houses. I didn’t really want to come back here.
LUBBOCK- This is the first house that I LOVED. I adored the girls I talked to, they both were amazingly nice and had great conversations with me. It seemed like they were genuinely excited to see me. This house felt very “sorority” to me, in the look, the actions, the house- everything. I definitely hoped to be invited back! And so did many other girls- this was the most popular house of the day.
DALLAS- Also very much liked Dallas. I had the best conversations here and bonded with the girls I was talking to over a lot of different things. I also liked that I got to talk to so many girls. I was really hoping to be invited back here!
ARLINGTON- I really like Arlington. The house was just as amazing as expected (from what I could see) and I liked who I talked to. They also seemed excited I was there. The girl I had a better conversation with was also pushy, though, but was at least more informative. She shared a lot about what they do for their philanthropy. I wanted to get the chance to learn more about these girls.
AUSTIN- I was so excited for Austin! After FTWorth not being so fun, I was nervous this would disappoint me to. But I had a great time!!! I got to talk to a lot of sisters, and got to say hello to a lot of others. They seemed genuinely excited for me to be there. I loved that. Definitely wanted to come back!
So after a lot of thinking, and pro/conning, my rank was:
1. Austin/ Lubbock
2. Dallas/ El Paso
3. Arlington
4. Ft. Worth
and the two I ranked last to be released were
1. Abilene
2. Houston.
After ranking I was a little worried about releasing Abilene. I wish we could have kept one more… We will see how it goes next when I get my invitations for philanthropy day!
