Well today was the first round of Ice Water Teas and it was absolutely exhausting. Luckily it wasn’t too hot outside, but I still feel dead after just the first day of an 8 day long process! My Rho Chi group met in front of April Fool’s Day as that was the first house we were to attend. My impressions of the first eight houses were as follows:

April Fool’s Day: I was super nervous since this was the first house my group visited, and I think the girl I was talking to was too. Actually, she flat out told me she was. The conversation was jumpy and a little awkward and the party seemed to go on forever! I was glad to be out of there and hoped the rest of the day would be better!

Fat Tuesday: This house was second and I was absolutely relieved when the girl I knew from my high school picked me up at the door. Our conversation was great and totally relaxed; completely different from the first house. I met a few more of the actives who were all really sweet also. I really liked this house.

Valentine’s Day: The girls in this house were stunning! I got picked up by a girl from my home town that I didn’t previously know. She was really sweet but the conversation felt forced and a little fake. She introduced me to the president, recruitment chair, and exec board which was intimidating but made me feel confident that perhaps they liked me. I left this house feeling good.

MLK Day: This house was great! The girl I talked to was really laid back and although it was hard to hear I think she liked me because she asked for my name again before I left the party.

Memorial Day: After all of the hype and thinking I was going to love this house I HATED it! The girl I talked to was so fake and kept looking around like she wasn’t really listening to what I was saying. The conversation was so forced and awkward and the girl practically pushed me out of the door, not to say I wasn’t eager to leave!

Halloween: I would say there was nothing that stuck out (good or bad) for this house. The girl I talked to was nice and she asked my name again (just like at MLK) before I left so I took that as a good sign.

Earth Day: The first girl I talked to at this house was great; but the second girl seemed bored with me, and the third almost refused to contribute more than a few words to the conversation. I felt uncomfortable here and did not want to return.

Groundhog Day: Well I expected to hate this house… and I loved it. The girls I talked to were super bubbly and nice! I felt like this was my best conversation of the day (save the best for last right)

Day Two:
This day dragged on even more that the last! Here is my first impression of the second eight houses!

New Years: This was the first house I attended on day two of ice water teas. I talked to a girl I had met over preview weekend who I really loved! The second girl I talked to wasn’t quite as enthusiastic but overall I liked this house!

Christmas: I talked to two girls in this house, but neither of them left a real impression other than one of them who kept touching my knee which made me a little uncomfortable. There was nothing overtly bad about this house but it definitely didn’t stand out as one of my favorites.

Thanksgiving: I only talked to one girl in this house but I LOVED it! I felt like I had known the girl my whole life! We had such an easy conversation that it felt like I was talking to my best friend. This was my favorite house so far.

St. Patrick’s Day: The girl I talked to at this house was involved in the same high school activity as I was (which I tried to pretended was a complete coincidence) but we had a pretty good conversation!

4th of July: Okay this is going to sound horrible but I couldn’t focus on ANYTHING because the girl I was talking to was blocking the fan and it was extremely hot in this house! I can’t even tell you what we talked about because I was too concerned that I was starting to visibly sweat. I hope I get a second chance at this house but I don’t really expect one.

Easter: I only talked to one girl at this house and she was pretty sweet and fun to talk to, and their house is absolutely beautiful!

Labor Day: This house was SO loud I couldn't hear anything the active was saying so I feel like that put a really big strain on the conversation. Because of this I don’t expect to be invited back since I don’t think I was able to make an impression.

Arbor Day: This was the last house of the day! I talked to some actives from my hometown and they were nice but nothing really stuck out about this house for me.
At the end of the day it was hard for me to come up with four sororities I would not like to return to, because I mostly liked them all. But I decided my bottom four were (with four being the one I’d least like to return to):

1. Labor Day
2. April Fool’s Day
3. Earth Day
4. Memorial Day

We didn’t rank the other twelve but at this point in my head my top five were:

1. Thanksgiving
2. Groundhog Day
3. Fat Tuesday
4. New Years
5. MLK Day
