The night before Round 1, I could barley sleep I was so nervous! However, I did end up getting a good night sleep (thanks to getting in bed at 8!) and felt well prepared for the next day. Though I was nervous for my first house, I ended up feeling very comfortable and by the end of the day was even more talkative then the beginning! So here’s how Day 1 went.
Day 1- House Tours
Rue- This was the first house of the day. I was paired with another PNM and my rusher seemed so nervous. She was sweet, but all the questions seemed super rehearsed and when she bumped me to her sister, she completely cut me off in the middle of my sentence.
Katniss- Love, love, LOVED them!! After the disappointing time I had at Rue, I was thrilled at Katniss. I wasn’t paired with another PNM, and the girl I know, who is an officer, personally said hi to me. All these girls were so friendly and relaxed. They were also so gorgeous, as I said before. One thing I noticed is every girl seemed to have dark hair, while I was born with naturally platinum-blonde hair. And they all were SO TAN!! Despite my feelings that I didn’t quite look like them, I loved every sister I talked to.
Peeta- Again, I loved this sorority. I was picked up by an officer, and she was so sweet! Thankfully, I wasn’t with another PNM. At one point, I saw a modeling picture and said, “Oh, is that the girl who won Miss State Beauty Pageant?” And she kind of laughed and said, “Nope that’s me”. I felt so bad! I apologized and hoped that didn’t get held against me. The girl I got bumped to was slightly more awkward, but still friendly.
Snow- I was pleasantly surprised to really like them. The PNM I was supposed to be paired with had already dropped out, so I was alone with my rusher. She was really nice and 3 different times I was double rushed.
Gale- I was paired up again with another PNM. It was kind of weird though, we went up the stairs then got to look around by ourselves, and then we met up again with the sister. Unfortunately, I seemed to have more in common with the PNM then either of my rushers!
Haymitch- Though I really liked my rusher, I just couldn’t see myself in this house. They were known as the more ‘bad-ass’ sorority, and I felt I was probably too preppy to feel comfortable. Suprisingly, the girl from my school was actually really nice to me and asked how my day was going. I was paired with a PNM here (again) and I felt bad… she was so awkward and quiet! I would be happy to come back, but I’ll be surprised if I’m asked.
Finnick- I’m sorry to say everyone, but Finnick keeps getting weirder and weirder. This was a larger chapter, so I didn’t need to be paired up with another PNM. However, I was one of the last girls called in and we all went into a backroom. My rusher barley talked about her sorority, and the house tour and financial aid presentation was only shown to us for about 5 minutes. I left here feeling snubbed.
Primrose- The first girl I got paired with was nice, but didn’t really seem like my type. Neither did the majority of girls in this house- they all seemed to be in the graphic arts program and very artistic. The girl I got bumped to was so awkward and just kind of stared at me. They did have the best drinks though ☺
The way I ranked the houses for tonight (In no particular order) are:
1.
Katniss
1.
Peeta
1.
Snow
1.
Gale
1.
Haymitch
1.
Finnick
2.
Rue (The rest of the night I wished I had put Finnick here instead of
Rue, but what’s done was done!)
3.
Primrose
Stay tuned for day 2!
(Also, as I said before, I'm posting this 3 days after Round 1 so it's not quite 'live'
)
