Alright so I see that you guys want some details, huh?
The first two days are pretty jumbled up in my head..but i'll try and relate some of what I was thinking..
Saturday night was orientation and they had to hold two sessions because there were so many girls! They put us into our section groups, and one of our 3 Rho Chis is a girl from my High School. There are 40 girls in my section group, and actually one of my good friends from high school is in it as well! There are 16 section groups total.
We started out early Sunday at the first house..and yeah, I might just say that the door chants caught me a little off guard! They were so fun..and I think that might just be my favorite part of Tour Events! We went to 9 houses for a half hour each on day 1, and by the end of the day they were all really mixed up in my head! The ones that stood out a lot to me though were Tri-Delts...they had done a really cute skit and I felt like I really connected with each of the girls that I talked to. I also liked the Zeta house..which, to tell you the truth, surprised me because i'd never heard much about them from my friends presently in the Greeek system. But the girls were a lot of fun, and I enjoyed my time there so far. All of the houses on the first day were really fun and the girls seemed to be outgoing..but there weren't a lot that I felt a strong connection to.
Day two, Monday, we saw the other 7 sororities. There were quite a few more that stood out to me than the first day, or that I felt more of a connection with. I liked the Gamma Phi house a lot, I think probably because their skit was a lot of fun and you could see the personality of the house from it. Thetas were after them..and once again I felt a great connection with the girls I talked to. Then at the Pi Phi house, there was another sense that it may be a place I might fit in, but it's always hard to tell in the initial first half hour. We finished the day at Alpha Chi Omega, and it was hard for me to really read the personality of the house, but I again connected with the girls I spoke with. It seemed to be more of a joking, fun environment that appealed to me.
Today was to be a day off in observance of Rosh Hashana, but because of last week's WTC tragedies the sororities are holding about 4 parties for those girls who couldn't get back on time (my Rho Chi's said around 150 girls!)
Wednesday morning i'll see who out of the 16 invited me back, and will be able to go back to up to 10 on wednesday afternoon and thursday morning.
Sorry I couldn't be more explicit with the details, but all of the houses were just great and after seeing 16 of them it's almost difficult to distinguish differences between them. Time to go pack for the rest of the week...Bye for now!
