OPEN HOUSE!
I did not go shopping for Rush but I did scour through my clothes and borrow some from my very fashionable mom to come up with cute outfits for the week. For Open House I wore a knee length jean skirt with a sleeveless red turtleneck sweater that had a cute tie at the waist, comfy but cute healed sandals with hair/makeup/toes painted and cute earrings. Krystle, Andrea (yes her parents let her out of scuba lessons) and I went together. We were excited but nervous. We got to orientation and listened to the Rho Chi’s explain Rush, answer questions, and then we were broken into groups. The three of us were separated which was fine. We played Icebreakers and waited to find out our schedules for the day.

We finally started going to our open parties and here are my observations.
Kate Spade-Unfortunately there was already some negative tent talk about this group on Open. They were the smallest group on campus. That meant nothing to me because I was clueless so I went in with an open mind. The singing freaked me out but the girls looked cute, they were in pastel shirts and khaki pants. They had a very small house but it was decorated cute. Unfortunately I did not have a good rusher, she was very small, and very shy. She barely spoke but I thought I did a good job of making conversation.
Coach- I loved this house, all the girls were very diverse and they were very bubbly and smiley! The house was also quite small but bigger than Kate Spade’s. They wore Bright colored short sleeve shirts in different colors with khaki capri’s. I met a girl named Rebecca that I LOVED; she was really funny and VERY outgoing. I decided that I wanted to be a coach really badly.
D&B- This house was HUGE, the biggest on campus and beautiful. The girls were all very pretty also, mostly brunettes (like me) and dancers (like me). They seemed very friendly but I was a little turned off. I was rushed by two girls that I went to high school with but they were a year older and very popular. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t a loser in high school but I was in the middle group if you know what I mean. These girls had NEVER said two words to me in high school and now they were acting like they had known me forever and were so excited that I was there because we KNEW each other. I know now that they were just being nice and trying to connect with me but at the time I thought it was a bit fake. Still, I was excited about this house and kept it near the top of my list. Overall, I still thought D&B might be a good match for me so I overlooked the girls I knew from high school.
LV-My last house of the day was LV. I had heard that they were the BEST house and the largest group on campus. I still didn’t really understand why size was important but whatever. I was very impressed with this group because they have an AWESOME recruitment. They wore the cutest outfits, the house was big but not huge and it was completely decorated. I really liked LV but I wasn’t sure if I would really fit in as myself in this house. My rusher also talked a lot about religion, I am a Christian and pretty conservative but I didn’t really understand how this related to what sorority I would join. I wondered if I would be just another LV here or if I could really shine somewhere else?
