Round 1:
The first house I visited was Red and I absolutely loved it. The house was gorgeous and I felt like I really got along well with the girls. 2 were active in the same religious group as I was. However, I got bumped 5 times in a short party so I didn't get to talk much with each person.

Next I went to Orange and although I had high hopes because I knew a few girls, I really didn't like it. The two girls I spoke to seemed cold and disinterested.

Then I went to Yellow, which is a top dog at our school. The house and the girls were absolutely gorgeous, and one had the same uncommon major as I did, so we bonded over that. However, one literally grimaced when I mentioned that I was a feminist, which really turned me off.

Then came Green, another top dog. The girls were very bubbly and friendly, and I had a lot of fun. I wasn't sure if I saw myself fitting in with them socially though.

Then I went to Blue, which I'd heard some not great things about. However, I really bonded with the girls I talked to and I felt like I could really fit in there. Their house was also gorgeous and I really liked it.

Then came Indigo, which is a top house at my school but also has a reputation for being unfriendly, and I definitely felt that. My rushers basically stared right through me and seemed more interested in the PNMs around me.

The last house of day one was Purple. The rusher and I were both clearly very tired and our conversation was lackluster. I didn't remember much afterward.

The next day started with Pink and I loved it. I felt like I clicked really well with all the girls and they just seemed so sweet and friendly.

Then I went to Magenta, another house where I knew some girls. The house was small so we had to do rush in the dorm rooms, but the girls were friendly and sweet, and overall I had a good time.

Next was Black. The girls were really bubbly and fun, but we were all crammed in one room and it was super loud. I felt like I was screaming at the rushers, but I still liked them.

Next was Brown, which doesn't have the best reputation at my school. However, they're known for having a strong sisterhood. I really liked the girls that rushed me, but the house didn't leave a strong impression on me either way.

Last was Grey, again a house with girls I knew. The house and the girls were gorgeous, and I felt like I had a decent conversation, but I wasn't sure if I'd fit in.

After the end of round one, I ranked my bottom as
2. Purple
3. Yellow
4. Orange

The next day I got my list, and saw that I was invited back to Blue, Pink, Magenta, Black, and Brown. I was pretty bummed that I didn't even come close to going back to 9 (the max) and that Red, my absolute favorite had dropped me, but I was glad I wasn't going back to the ones I didn't like, and I was pretty happy with most of my list.
