suzieQ's Fall 2006 Rush @ UW!

Today wasn't as fun as yesterday because at this point I was exhausted... but it was still fun. Last night I had to write a paper and study and this morning was my last class of Early Fall Start!!! Yay! I get to sleep in now.

I started out visiting the Daffodil house. I'm not sure about this house. I liked the two people who gave me the tour okay. The house is beautiful. I just don't think this is the house for me. I would not mind going back tomorrow, however, just to make sure.

Next I went to the Tulip house. The girls here are really really sweet. The physical house is soooo cool. One of my favorites. I could really see myself hanging out at this house. It's not one of my favorites but I still like this house. I got to talk to someone I talked to yesterday. She is someone I could see myself hanging out with, but I'm not sure about how good of friends we could be. The girls are almost too sweet. I can't explain it. I just don't click as well here as some of the others.

Next I went to the Lilac house! I am sooo glad I got to go back here, even though I didn't originally rank them in my top ten. Last time I was really turned off because I wasn't one-on-one with the women. Today I had a great time.

Next I went to the Holly house. This was one of my absolute favorites from the open houses. It is a favorite of a lot of people, though, and I am afraid I am going to get cut. It's sad, but you can really tell how selective the houses are by who is invited back. I feel like most of the girls that got invited back were prettier than me. I have really loved the girls I have met in this house though... I just hope they feel the same way!

Finally I went to the Primrose house. I got to meet actual women from the sorority this time! Unfortunately, I still don't feel like I fit in here. I don't click with the girls and it's just not what I'm looking for. It's a little too small for my liking. I know that this can mean that the girls are closer, but many of the girls live in their annex and it just doesn't sound like an appealing set-up. The main reason that I don't want to go back, however, is that I couldn't see myself being sisters with the girls. They aren't mean or rude or anything... I just don't feel like I fit in.

Today we ranked our top 6 as #1, then the 7th as #2, the 8th as #3, etc. I ranked the chapters in the following way:

#1

Holly
Sunflower
Iris
Violet
Lilac
Orchid

#2 Carnation
#3 Tulip
#4 Daffodil
#5 Primrose

My goal again is to get a full schedule! However, it would be nice to go back to six of my top 8.

I'm really nervous. I'm afraid I will only get invited back to a few. I don't know why I suddenly feel like this. I wasn't this scared for the first invites! I guess I have just talked to people and know which houses are considered "top houses"... some of these are my favorites and I am worried they will cut me severely.
