So today was house tours at
Glee,
Scrubs,
Firefly, and
Pretty Little Liars. I was really excited to go today since we had the whole weekend off, I kept thinking about what I was going to wear and who would invite me back. I went to meet up with my Rho Chi group and I find out that I got no invites back. I was like, "are you sure? I thought you said that everyone got placed." I kept it together and didn't shed a tear, even though I really wanted to. My Rho Chis felt bad for me and encouraged me to go to the parties anyway. I just felt so alone, since everyone else in my group had gotten asked back to their favorites. I thought I did really well, I kept everyone's advice in mind and I thought that they liked me and that I was being truly genuine. I mean the girls even said how cool I was and how much they liked me. I just don't understand what happened. I basically cried for the past hour, so sorry if this post comes off as sad. So, with the encouragement of my Rho Chis and my friends, I decided to go to the parties anyway.
Scrubs: This was my first party of the night. I LOVE their house. It's so cute and amazing and wonderful. I felt really at home there like it was someplace I could chill and/or live. Their house was huge, even though it doesn't look like it from the outside. They had yummy and cute food decorated in their colors, which was really nice! We did a cute little craft for their philanthropy which I loved. I had so much fun chatting with PNMs and sisters. Except one sister kept laughing at me at awkward times (and she was a senior so she had been through it before) when I didn't say anything funny (or so I thought). Other than that, I had a lot of fun and I really hoped I convinced them that I really am interested/fit in well with them.
Glee: I went here second. Their house is pretty plain, but cute from the outside. When I walked in I was amazed at how much it felt like a home! It was beautifully decorated, very spacious, and very deceptively large on the inside. I met some girls that I didn't know, which was really cool. I even got to meet their chapter advisor, who was so awesome to talk to. I also met a girl who is seriously my twin... we are so alike in almost every way! It was kind of freaky. She even knew someone who I grew up with even though we lived nowhere near each other. I felt like they were kind of surprised that I was there, but as the party went on I most definitely felt more welcomed. I'm not getting my hopes up here but I had a fun time and would be happy to pref. here
Firefly: This was my third party of the night. Since these girls didn't have a house, their party was in another campus building. The only downside of that was that the room we were in was really echo-y, which made it hard to hear at first. I think the reason I didn't get invited back here was because I only met about 5 girls and didn't spend the most time there, which I take full responsibility for. I'm SO glad I went to this party. I clicked with all of the girls I talked to, and we got into some deep conversation. They definitely seem to have the same goals and interests as I do, and I see a great potential for personal growth here. They took me by surprise in the best of ways! I think they are rising up my list and becoming a favorite and I couldn't be happier.
Pretty Little Liars: There was no way that I was going back to this chapter after how incredibly rude they were to me last time. It doesn't affect me at all in terms of my standing, because I wasn't invited there, so it's not like I just didn't go. I wasn't invited back so I didn't go. I heard from a lot of other girls that they were treated rudely as well, and our Rho Chis said that the Greek Life Office was looking into it since so many girls felt excluded and offended by them. I'm glad for girls that had a good experience here, but this chapter is SO not for me.
So I don't have to rank tonight, but if I did it would be really tough. I had an equally good time at all 3 parties that I went to. So I'll base it on my overall experience throughout all of recruitment. Again, they are all really close together in terms of my opinion.

Tomorrow is the second round of house tours at
Stargate: SG-1,
ANTM,
The Tudors,
Greek, and
Pokemon. Needless to say, I'm really nervous about being invited back now that I was rejected from all the houses tonight. I'm excited though, because hopefully things will turn around and tomorrow will be a better day. Positive energy sent my way would be amazing.
