Ooops! Yes, I made a mistake and put Apple in my top 8 on here so it looks like I picked 9. I picked 8 and apple was not one of them. Apple does not participate in formal recruitment and we will not be going to their house anymore after the first day.
TODAY!! So, as I updated.. I got a full schedule!!
Orange
Strawberry
Mango
Blueberry
Pear
Peach
Watermelon
Pomegranate
So the only house I did not get invited back to from my top 8 was Banana. Which I am totally fine with. I went into rush thinking they would be my favorite and left the house feeling completely wrong about what I had thought I'd feel like when I went in. I knew they were not a match for me. The girls were all pretty and sweet but I feel like I did not speak with as many girls as some of the others and I just did not click. So, I was okay! I got my legacy house instead which I was happily surprised!
First was Peach, my legacy house. I really want to like this house and feel like I belong here but it just has not happened yet. The girls are really sweet and cute but I feel like it's not easy for me to engage in conversation here. I just do not feel like I fit in too well. Fitting and trying to build a strong relationship with the girls here I feel like would not come easy for me.
Next was Mango. I really enjoyed this house the first day!! Today was not quite the same but I still really liked it. The girls seem really passionate about their sorority and philanthropy. I like that. The last girl I had a really good long talk with about philanthropy and how being involved in greek life extends so far out of college and is truly a bond that is shared between sisters forever. I really liked her! They always have really cute songs here. Haha. We also met their house mother and she was ADORABLE. I am still not sure though about this one. It does not feel quite as right as some of the others.
Third was Pear and I know I don't want to be in this house. This house is full of a lot of smart and really involved girls and they should be so so so so proud because that is awesome! I am really striving for good grades and am looking forward to joining lots of clubs!! I can see why they would like to tell all of the PNMs about their accomplishments but it kind of intimidated me a little bit. I feel like they excel at so much and I would feel like I could never reach their standards. Not that they have them, but that's what it feels like. Also, I think every girl I had forgot to bring up their Philanthropy which I only realized once I had left the house and wished I had asked. I can see why so many girls love this house though. However, it is just not for me.
Fourth was Watermelon. Ohh my goodness do I love these girls!! Their outfits were by far the cutest today and their house may just be my favorite. The first girl I talked to I really could not read so I was starting to feel like she did not like me but the next three girls were awesome. Also, one of the girls who talked to me during set one recognized me and said hi and new my name! She was so sweet and I really had loved talking to her the first time at their house. I'm really liking this one and I could see myself here.
Fifth was Orange. Okay this house is officially my favorite! All of the girls are so pretty and sweet. They seem like they have so much fun. Their songs are so catchy and I really love their philanthropy! Their house is so pretty. Both of the times I have been to this house I have felt really good about my conversations. I really hope that I see them on my invite list tomorrow morning. It's hard getting attached to a house because of the possibility of disappointment... I just love them so much!!
Sixth was Strawberry and I definitely got a better feel for them so I am glad I got a second chance with them. The girls were all really nice and seemed excited to see me. This house is okay but I'm unsure about it. It's tied with Mango. Everyone is really sweet and everything but I feel not as excited about this one as some of the others. It just doesn't hit me as much as some of the others!! We shall see. I could see it growing on me though.
Pomegranate was seventh and all of the girls are really cute and seem like lots of fun and seem like they all have a good sisterhood with each other. This is another one I don' t think I fit in though. I don't really know what else to say it's just the connection is not there.
LASTTTTT but not LEASSSST was Blueberry! This house is my second favorite. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cuteee!!!! The girls are really laid back and down to earth so I feel so comfortable here! I know this would be a great one to be a part of. There is so much diversity but an overwhelming sense of acceptance. The last couple of girls I talked to were awesome. The first girl it was really hard to hear each other which bummed me out because it's kind of an unfair situation not being able to hear the person rushing you and having to try and be engaging and conversational. I hope I see them on my invites tomorrow though!!!
So my rankings went....
