Hey! Its about 5:30 and I just got home from the first half of Set 1!

I met with my group at 8am and then at 9, we walked into our first house-the raspberry house. OH MY GOD! All the bouncing, clapping, jumping, singing, and yelling was out of control! But, it was all very exciting, too! Anyways, we walked in and were immediately picked up by one of the members who took us into a room and began asking us THOUSANDS of questions. I talked to about 3 or 4 girls, one the VP of education, who were all really nice, but I totally can't see myself in this house. I won't give too many details, but I just can't.

The kiwi house: This was the second house we visited. Again, the doors flew open and the bouncing, clapping, jumping, singing, and yelling began. Just by looking at a few girls I could tell this was more of my kinda place. I walked in, a girl grabbed me and we began talking. The conversations went really well-even with the other girls I talked to. The President came up and introduced herself to me, also. One of the sisters said there are 130 girls in the chapter and she is close with each and every one-this was very appealing to me! This house is one of my two favorites from the day!

The plum house: This was the third house we visited and the second of my two favorites! All the girls were GREAT. Very down to earth, relaxed, normal girls. With this house though, myself and another PNM talked to one sister. The other PNM talked the WHOLE time. I couldn't say a single thing! I did manage to give my two cents, but still.....a little frustrating!

The orange house: Fourth house of the day! One of my friends from last year is in this house and grabbed me right when I walked in. Obviously we had things to talk about and then she introduced me to two other girls who were absolutely great! I could definately see myself in this house too, but they are pretty strict when it comes to grades-which I can deal with, but they make the pledges go to a zillion study sessions each week which takes up TONS of time......

The banana house: This is a VERY tiny chapter! There are less than thirty girls who all live in the house together with tons more space for new members. I wasn't overly impressed with this house. There were five of us talking to one girl! She was very sweet though and included each of us in the conversations.

The peach house: This was the last house of the day which made me a little happy because I only had to be overwhelmed by the bouncing, clapping, jumping, singing, and yelling one more time! I have to say, I kinda already had formed an opinion about these girls before I walked in because of what I had heard around campus-which is horrible, I know!-but after talking to three girls, I realized they were nothing like what I had heard around campus! I would really like to see this house and its members again!

My fav. to least fav so far:
Plum, Kiwi, Orange, Peach, Banana, Raspberry.

I have 6 more houses tomorrow beginning at 8 am and I am very excited! Then I have to pick my 8 favorite afterwards.

Two days down, 5 to go!
