sorry it's taken so long guys! A lot has been going on with my family recently, and this story has been the last thing on my mind, but I'm back now!
First, to answer questions concerning Miami:
No, the house was not colonizing, they just didn't have a house of their own to host their parties with. I don't think the frat boys were supposed to be coming in and out, but they never really seem to listen anyways... haha
anyways, the second day was house tours. I met with my RC outside the fountains in the morning to pick up my rush schedule. I could have been invited back to a maximum of 6.
I looked at my paper and saw
Cape Town
Rome
Beijing
Sydney
I was a little disappointed to see [COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"]Sydney[/COLOR] and Beijing on the list. I was really hoping I would get invited back to Dublin, but I still had Cape Town and Rome, both of which I really enjoyed... and it only takes one. Girls all around me were crying because they had their hearts set on being in one of the "top 4" houses and didn't get them. I was overall happy with the results of the day, and was excited to start the house tours that evening.
The first house I toured was [COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"]Sydney[/COLOR]. I was extremely confused, because for the first half of the house tour party, they showed a video to one half of us while the other half toured the house. It seemed odd to me to show a video, since this was something typically reserved for slideshow day, which was the next day. I was also shocked when the girl rushing me took the chair, and I had no other option than to sit on the floor so others behind me could see. A little frustrated, I followed my girl to tour the house. While it was a gorgeous house on the outside, it was a little bland inside, and I couldn't help feeling like they needed something besides the constant white walls and white carpet. Overall, I wasn't impressed with [COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"]Sydney[/COLOR].
The next house I went to was Rome. I was so excited to be invited back to Rome! The house was stunning, and the girl that showed me around was so sweet. I remember loving everyone I talked to, and even found a room I fell in love with. I found myself really hoping I would be invited back here.
Next was Beijing. In [COLOR="rgb(46, 139, 87)"]Beijing's[/COLOR] defense, it would be hard to compete with Rome directly following what was a wonderful house tour. But the girl I talked to was extremely sweet! like Sydney, however, I found myself bored with the house and wishing it had more of a "homey" feel and had more color in it.
The last house I visited was Cape Town. The girl that gave me the tour was from a rival high school, and we both had mutual friends. That made the conversation flow incredibly smoothly! I absolutely fell in love with [COLOR="rgb(0, 255, 255)"]Cape Town's[/COLOR] home. It was incredibly homey feeling, and I could see myself living there. I was really hoping I would get invited back.
Since the next day we could be invited back to a maximum of 4 houses for slideshow day, I didn't have to "regret" any houses. So once the parties were done, I went to bed, excited to see what the next day would hold!
