Okay...so here it comes Day 1:
So we all began to chat as we walked down the hill and heading for a house I hardly knew was there. Nestled in the back of Fraternity Circle. It seemed like a quiet little house.
A Walk to Remember: This is that first house we entered. As we stood in line on the brick walkway suddenly a loud thunder of banging came from inside the house. This struck me as odd and unique and exciting. We went in to the formal room and there were a ton of girls in t-shirts and jeans. The girl I got was wearing pig-tails, but was very laidback and disappointingly quiet. She took me on a tour of the house which seemed to be a little tight quarters, but no less quaint. Then we came into the kitchen where there were vegetables and dip. They put is in the center of the formal room and gathered in a circle and said a prayer and then recited one of their poems. This house didn't really strike me as the place for me as they were a bit too quiet.
Then we continued down the hill to what I would call one of the only 2 "modern" houses in all of frat circle.
Sixteen Candles: The chanting and screaming in this house were WAY more exciting. I remember really loving the foyer of this house. The girl I was paired with was in one of my classes which was a huge lecture hall, but she recognized me!!! I took this as a huge compliment. Then again I tend to stand out, I'm a redhead so I suppose that helps the whole rush process as it is. She was super nice and then handed me off to another girl. I remember all of the girls in this house being really sweet and since I talk a lot I didn't have trouble getting along. They all seemed to love me and I remember one girl cutting off their process to take me over to the President who looked like the most average girl next door, very smart and sweet. I remember this because I don't remember any of the other girls in the group being introduced to the President. After sitting in the Formal room we moved over to the Chapter room, which was by far the most laid back room in the house (and most laid back chapter room of all of the houses for that matter) I felt really comfortable in their, but then I saw a few girls and some of it seemed a little too forced and overly bubbly after a bit. We watched a video and then we left as they chanted a cheer I stll remember some of the words to to this day.
Legally Blonde: I remember entering this house recognizing the only Theatre girl I'd seen in the Greek system. She was GORGEOUS. We'll call her Jackalyn. I didn't really know her very well and frankly she came off very stand-offish and snobby. The same was true of the rest of the girls in the house. They were all the blondest most beautiful girls you ever did see. The first girl who rushed me took me on a house tour. She took one look at me and rolled her eyes. This disapointed me greatly. But I didn't think much of it because hey, not everyone is right for each organization, and besides, who needs people like that? We had a brief very superficial chat and then I met the next girl. The next girl was actually super nice to me, we didn't have much in common, like she began to talk about going running and going to the gym, but we held conversation for good measure. Then they took us downstairs to show us a slide show and a video. They seemed a good fit for each other and the house was BEAUTIFUL, but I knew not only did I have no shot of being invited back, but I don't think I would have preferred to. Their reputation was fab, but I didn't see that it was warranted.
I left day one with still a REALLY great feeling in the pit of my stomach. I knew that I really liked Sixteen Candles, but was worried about their reputation. However, I knew they would still wind up in my top groups. Being a math wiz that I am, I figured top 1 out of every day if there are 9 chapters (oh yeah look at me 3 times 3 is 9 :P)
Day 2 still to come!!!
