Day Number 2!
Having to visit the other 6 houses, I knew this day would go by slower because we were anxious and ready to get into all the houses since we knew the drill.
Party List:
1) Twizzlers
2) Skittles
3) Twix
4) Laffy Taffy
5) Starburst
6) York
Party 1: Twizzlers- As you may recall, I said I had 4 favorites that I was most looking forward to learning about. Already visiting the other 3 yesterday, Twizzlers was number one on my most interested list. However, knowing a girl from this sorority, I didn't necessarily think I would fit in with this group of girls. Going into the house, I was bumped SEVERAL times. I could never tell if being bumped was a good or bad thing but it was extremely hard to keep changing conversations every 2 minutes. I had mixed emotions about this house. I really wanted to love it but something was holding me back.
Party 2: Skittles- Knowing absolutely nothing about this house, I was relaxed and ready to just have a good conversation. When I got into the house, my rusher seemed really interested in everything I had to say. Her enthusiasm and attention towards me really made me like this house. She was so easy to talk to and I was the very last person that left the house because we just kept talking and talking. I took this as she had to love talking to me too. This house unexpectedly soared to my number one house. I loved it!!
Party 3: Twix- After visiting this house, I couldn't remember any of the girls names/conversations or anything outstanding about this house. It just seemed okay and I knew it was going to be on my drop list.
Party 4: Laffy Taffy- Okay, so I know we aren't suppose to go into recruitment with pre conceived judgements but I was never ever going to join this house. Honestly, it was for the dumb reason that I was bitter enemies with a girl in high school who was now an active in this sorority. I could never call that girl my sister. But I wasn't going to be mean or stuck up while visiting the house. So I put my best foot forward and... actually ended up liking the house. It was so homey inside and the girls I talked to was so fun. It was refreshing to feel so accepted and not even like we were being judged. I couldn't believe I was saying it, but they were going to rank high on my list.
Party 5: Starburst- This was another greek sorority that I knew absolutely nothing about. However, I had a good conversation with my rusher. She seemed very well rounded and classy and I knew it was a house I would love to be invited back to.
Party 6: York- Out of all 12 houses, I believe this conversation was the hardest to keep going. Maybe it was because it was the last house or the rusher was nervous but something just didn't click. I wrote in my journal, "average" because I didn't hate or love this house. I'd go back just because I would like to give the house another chance.
