Well, round 2 is over! I just saw 3 houses...#2, #3, and #7.
2-Still love this house!! They gave us popcorn and soda when we went in, and they had a skit based on SNL. It was hilarious! They had a bunch of different characters from the show acting like they were coming in to see the sorority during rush. There was Mary Katherine Gallagher, the night at the Roxbury guys, and the Spartans (cheerleaders). They also had a girl dress as Britney Spears and do a dance, and then 3 girls did a medley of old Madonna songs, but the words were all changed around to be about the sorority. The skit was really long so there wasn't that much time to talk to the sisters, but the ones I did talk to were very sweet. I got a really good feeling at this house. This and house 6 are tied for my favorites right now. I hope I get to go back for prefs!!
3-My rusher this round also rushed me for round 1, and we got along really well so it was cool. They had the best snacks here--mini candy bars and chocolate covered popcorn. They really went all out on the decorations, too. There were little white lights everywhere, and it was decorated like a movie theater. We got to talk to the sisters for a little bit, and the other girl who rushed me before was sitting behind me, so I was talking to the same 2 girls again. We had good conversations and I was comfortable, but I kind of wish I could have talked to some other sisters to get a better feel for what they're all like. The skit was adorable...it was based on movies. One group of girls dressed up and sang songs from Grease, with the words changed to fit the sorority. Then there was "the grinch who stole rush" and "[XYZ] Rouge," where they sang Lady Marmalade with the words switched around. I really like this house a lot, but if it came down to it I think I'd have a REALLY hard time deciding between this one and house 4 for prefs. I like both equally.
7-Well...I think I like this house even less than I did before. I didn't want to go back but I did just to see if I liked it any more. The skit was based on Clue, and one of the sisters had been "kidnapped" and we had to go around the house questioning people to find her. Then we each had to say who we thought the kidnapper was, and at the end the "kidnapped" girl came out and told us who had done it. I didn't think the skit did anything to tell me about the sorority or what the girls are like. After the skit I talked to a sister I hadn't met before, and the conversation didn't go too well. The first thing she said to me was "So...what do you like?" and that was probably the only question she asked me. The rest of it was either me asking questions and getting unenthusiastic answers, or silence. I asked about how many girls lived in the house, and there are only 20, so I said "so there must be a lot of sisters living off campus" and my rusher just said something along the lines of "Yeah, um, I guess there are some." So 1) she seemed really uninterested and like she didn't know very much about her sisters and 2) the sorority must be really small, which I have to admit turns me off. I am really not interested in this house at all and will not be preffing here.
I pick up my invites tomorrow any time from 8-10 am. I'm sure I'll be there bright and early even if I go out tonight because I'll probably be too nervous to sleep!! Wish me luck...I'll be hoping and praying for houses 2 and 6!!!
