So, I just came back from all of my parties, and I'm really confused on where I want to go. Both were SO amazing. We watched the videos today, and they all highlighted the fun, great things that the sorority does throughout the year.

House #3: The door chants were really nice at this house. I was really impressed by the songs - there are some good singers here! Everyone was really enthusiastic, and I know that several of the girls were excited to have me back. So many of the girls remembered my name without glancing at my nametag, and the girl that led me to the table to see the video was just a doll. We had a funny incident when I was getting a drink. They had these miniature Coke bottles lined up, with a couple of bottle openers lying in front of them. My rusher couldn't figure out how to open it, though! Neither could another girl... finally, after many minutes of struggling with the opener, another girl managed to pry the cap off of the bottle. Then we sat down to watch the video, and it was a blast! It was a parody of MTV and TRL, intercut with snippets from movies. The music was great, the girls were singing along and dancing, and I enjoyed it tremendously. Then after the video, I talked to my rusher a bit more... I mentioned a friend of mine that graduated last year and how she convinced me to rush... turns out that Justine was my rusher's big sis! That was a fun surprise. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here.

House #6: The door chants were so loud and spirited! Instead of just flooding from the door, the girls ran in from around the entire building. No one was expecting that, so it was a fun surprise. The girl who rushed me at the first round was my rusher again, so I was really excited. I absolutely ADORED her before, and she was so kind and ingratiating again! I got a "VIP" seat in the very front, and Abbey got me this beautiful berry plate. They were perfectly ripe! Then we watched the video, and I absolutely loved it. Two of the girls last year got pinned, so they showed snippets from that ceremony, and I just nearly started crying. Then, after the video was over, the girls started singing "Lean on Me." I'm such a stickler for sappiness... I was tearing up so much. Then a few girls from the marching band and my classes came over to say hi. I met so many people, and I felt like such a special person at this house. I really feel at home here.

Hopefully, I'll be able to go to prefs for both of them tomorrow. Maybe that will make my choice a little bit easier... I just go back and forth in my mind. I have a mandatory meeting tonight at 7:45, but I'm meeting with my rho chi at 7:10.

I had such a magical time today... Either way, I would feel completely at home at these houses. I just can't say enough good things about them.
