it has been an extremely long day. the good news is that i had so much fun. i didn't expect it to be this enjoyable. all the girls from each house are amazing.

i was nervous at first, but once i got into the houses, i had normal conversations with the girls which made me excited even if my shoes were killing me.

ROSE: the first house we visited. i didn't know what to expect, but i was pleasantly surprised. we were greeted with chants and a member linking arms with me as i walked in. i loved this house because the girls were so nice and the conversation never died. i was shocked when it was time to leave because i was having such a good time. LOVE THEM!!

LILY: i enjoyed the conversation just as much as i enjoyed it at ROSE. each girl that i was paired with had so much energy that it just rubs off. i walked out with such a big smile. LOVE THEM!

ORCHID: i was disappointed because i had to share the girl i was paired with (another member of my rho chi was with me). the sorority member was so distant with the conversation which got me even more disappointed espically when the sorority member along with rho chi girl had their hometowns in common. i felt out of place in the conversation. it picked up a bit when they switch the girls around, but then it was time to leave. LIKE THEM.

CARNATION: this house was so humid that i felt like i was melting. the girl that i was paired with only talked about her sorority which was nice, but i wanted to know more beyond that. i wanted to have that free flowing conversation along with the fact of the sorority. i can't really see myself here.

DAISY: i had so much in common with the girl i was paired with; we talked about everything. even the other two girls that i was paired with was awesome. i came out with a smile. LOVE THEM!!

SUNFLOWER: there were so many girls paired with one member of the sorority, but it was nice because i had a lot in common with her. LIKE THEM

TULIP: i had so much in common with all the girls i talked to in this house. just thinking about them makes me happy. they are an awesome house. LOVE THEM!!

IRIS: strangest house ever. the girl i was paired had bad eye contact and very forced conversation. even when i was paired up with another girl, she was almost the same but to a lesser extent. i was diappointed.

PERIWINKLE: the last house of the night. everyone was losing thier voice. i was so tired that if i sat down, i would fall asleep. however, i had excellent conversations with all 3 girls that i was paired with. i love their decorations so much. it was way too cute. LOVE THEM!!

after reading my entry, you probably have a feel for what houses i chose to go back to tomorrow.

from nine houses to six. i can't wait til tomorrow even if it will be a long night as well. i'm scared that i'm getting my hopes too high...

but, I LOVE RUSH! so i'll be optimistic and not let anything hold me back.

double recruiting

Sounds like the panhellenic did a good job "recruiting" for recruitment. And that maybe your college is having a larger recruiting class then normal. Or just some of the chapters are a tad smaller then the others, thus leading to double recruiting.

Usually, when there is more then one pnm to a sister that means that the parties are bigger then the chapter (or at least bigger then the chapters recruitment group) so the chapter has to "double recruit." This is something that must be practiced or what happened at Orchid happens. Sometimes double recruiting works well with a three way conversation about whatever, but if the "double recruiting" breaks down then the conversation ends up being about one of the pnm's, leaving the other one out.

HAVE A GOOD TIME and here is my advise to you - be the "easy rushee." Be the girl that everyone wants to meet, because you are so easy to talk to. This way you have your choice of sororities. - Either way HAVE A GREAT TIME.

(I'm for Periwinkle - mostly because I like saying periwinkle.)
