Good luck! My (bio) sister/best friend is in a house at UCF, and they have worked SO hard all week to prepare! It's been exhausting just hearing how hard they have worked!

Spencer- This house was absolutly beautiful. All of the girls were gorgeous and so nice. Their song/chant was cute as well. I was paired up with another girl and spoke to a member. The member and I had a lot in common and after her sister took over the conversation, I had a lot in common with her as well. At one point in the conversation when she was talking about her sisterhood, I got chills. I absolutly loved this house!
Hannah- Another beautiful house with drop dead gorgeous ladies. The house was nice because we were allowed to sit, which was a change of pace. The conversation was so easy. I loved this house as well.
Jason- This house was ridiculously pretty. I was greeted by a girl who I immediately hit it off with. We talked about stuff that I hadn't talked about all day, which was a breath of fresh air. This sorority was nice.
Alison- This was my least favorite house. The girl was kind but nervous. I felt like I was being interviewed instead of having a conversation. I would answer the girls questions and she would go on to a different question without making any effort to really try and talk to me. Not my favorite at all.
Aria- This was my favorite house, plain and simple. The girls and the house were both incredible. I had amazing converations and felt that "at home" feeling. Crossing my fingers that they felt it too!
Emily- This house was O.K. Nothing special. The girls were nice but I didnt feel any connection. Not really one I'm interested in.
Jenna- The girls were nice. It was my first house and it was a good ice breaker. Not for me.
Ezra- Beautiful beautiful beautiful girls. Kind of intimidating. The girl was sweet and made me feel so comfortable. I felt that we had a good conversation and would love to get to know more.
Caleb- Not for me.
Ian- Conversation was awkward and forced. Not for me.
Toby- The girls were obviously trying, but the conversation was awkward. I couldn't see myself in this sorority.

Loving Rush Weeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!
Can't wait to find my "home!"

I am glad that you enjoyed your first day! However, I would caution you that, at this point in the process, feeling like 6 out of the 11 chapters are 'not for you' might really limit your options. Please try to keep an open mind, particularly this early in recruitment, when you have only seen each group for the length of a Round One party - which is what at UCF? Fifteen minutes?

I hope that the invitations you receive to Round Two are to your top choices, but if they are not, I would recommend that you take the opportunity to get to know the other chapters better. Many women find that their list of favorites changes as the week progresses.

First, I love love love your screen name!

Second, don't forget that the three houses that you don't seem wild about were at the end of a long day. They AND you were probably tired, so give them a second chance, if they end up on your invitation list.

Y'all are right. I was just posting my first impressions. I'm super excited about tomorrow and finding out more from each sorority. Didn't mean to come off wrong.
