The short version for all of those who don't care about my blabbering and excessive details.
Draco Malfoy - Nice, sweet girls. A little bland but overall had good conversations and got along well with those talked to. Had an interesting philanthropy. Best friend is a
Draco Malfoy as well as someone who I had a serious falling out with. Mixed feelings about this one. Could see myself here, but unsure yet.
Severus Snape - Made the mistake of making them my "top pick" before recruitment even began. Was very disappointed after the first two parties. Had awkward conversations and was double rushed often, with the other PNM taking over. Desperately wanted to give them another chance, but not as excited about them as I was before.
Neville Longbottom - A group consistently struggling with numbers but tried to be as friendly as possible even though I was not interested. Did not offer the same social aspects as the rest of the sororities. Conversations were in groups of about 5 PNMs and strayed strongly towards academics. Nice girls, but not for me.
Hermione Granger- Considered the "top" sorority at my school. They have highest GPA and overall great campus involvement. All of the girls were incredibly sweet and I had wonderful conversations with everyone I spoke to. Had an amazing skit and was really hoping to be invited back to this group the next weekend. Honestly had not expected to like them as much as I did.
Ron Weasley- Had many acquaintances in this group before going through recruitment, all of which seemed like great people. Disappointed that everyone I spoke to during recruitment though was awkward and could not keep up a conversation with me. Confused as to how this could have happened. Also, did not offer the aspects that I was looking for in a sorority, so ultimately decided they were not for me.
Luna Lovegood - Did not know much about this group. Overall had some good conversations and some awkward ones. Didn't hear a lot about campus involvement, which was disappointing. After the two parties, still felt like I hadn't learned much about them! Wouldn't mind coming back to find out more.
Harry Potter - A huge fan of this group. Had wonderful conversations with some wonderful girls. Struggled a bit the first day but was in absolute awe after the second. Convinced that
Harry Potter was the house for me after the first weekend.
