i'm home!!

i was disappointed that i didn't get asked back to LILY and i'm fine with not going back to ORCHID since i had such a great time at the other houses.

however, the good news is that i was invited back to the maximum number of houses which is 6!!

ROSE
IRIS
TULIP
CARNATION
PERIWINKLE
DAISY

CARNATION AND IRIS were my 2nd and 3rd choices last night while the others were my #1's.

the rho chis were telling us that the average houses girls get invites back are 3! i was shocked to hear that...

anyways, first house was ROSE. i could really tell that these girls have a great bond with each other. a sorority member talked about her big sis and the big sis started to cry and it made me want to cry. once again, i ended up being paired with another PNM. this time, it was spirit night so we got to sit down. the downside is that the other PNM got to sit next to the sorority member and was blocking me from her. how awful was that??!! she did that throughout the whole time. it really got me upset, but i spoke up and i still had the oppurtunity to chit chat. i hope i get invited back because i love this house so much.

IRIS: they had technical difficulties with their slideshow while they were singing and chanting. i understood, but the vibe was so different from ROSE that it turned me off. the first member i talked to was nice, but the second--i had so much in common with her. however, i cannot see myself in this house at all.

TULIP: my favorite house!! i enter in with a big smile, i come out with a bigger smile. this house is awesome!!!! i get along with all the girls and the conversation is amazing. their song + dance was so cute and loud. i loved every minute of it and was extremely sad to leave. i can totally see myself here!! i have so much in common with each girl that i talked to that it was unbelievable. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!

CARNATION: i don't really have much to say about this house. it was okay; they have really nice girls, but it's not a home for me.

PERIWINKLE: this house is has the best decorations compared to all the other houses. it's too cute for words. I LOVE IT!! i love talking to the girls in this house because i always have so much fun telling stories with the members. they are awesome!! they're so outgoing and enjoyable. i can totally see myself here. LOVE THEM!! oh--and they had the cutest cookies ever!!!

DAISY: once again, i was paired up with another PNM. the 1st girl we talked to lost her voice. i felt so bad because she did her best talking to us but i could barely hear her even if i was a foot away. i get along pretty well with the PNM that i'm paired with, but i rather have one on one. the 2nd member was so cool. i really like her. our conversation flowed pretty well and she was exteremly nice and always had a smile on her face. however, i not sure how i really feel about this house. i can't really see myself here too well compared to the other houses i'm in love with. LIKE THEM.

we narrowed our choices down to 4 along with a 2nd and 3rd choice.

i chose:

1st: TULIP, ROSE, PERIWINKLE, DAISY
2nd: CARNATION
3rd: IRIS

also, i really hate that the other PNMs base the houses they want on what they hear around campus. i believe they should go in rush with an open mind and give every house a chance. i don't understand how one person can base their choice on what others say. its just sad.

thank you to those that are wishing me luck through this process; i'm having so much fun!! i can't wait til tomorrow!

goodnight!
