Round 2! I was so excited (and nervous!) to see who had asked me back. This round we were allowed to visit up to 8 houses and I ended up being asked back to my top 7:
Spain
Austria
Morocco
England
Cuba
Greece
Ecuador
At this point I was feeling pretty fantastic and confident knowing that as a sophomore, I was pretty lucky to have almost a full schedule. With this in mind I headed to the first house of the day!
Austria- This was my second favorite house from Round 1, so I was super happy to go back! During Round 2, every house showed a video and theirs was really cute and seemed to highlight their sisterhood really well. I spoke with a few different girls, one of which ended up being really awkward as we sort of just sat there without saying anything. Luckily another one came in and the conversation picked up again. I liked this house a lot, but I wasn’t sure if I loved it as much as I did in Round 1.
Morocco- This house was also pretty high on my list, so I was excited to see what Round 2 would bring. When I walked up to the door, I was surprised to see my freshman year RM was waiting to pick me up and I felt all of my nerves go away. It was fun to reminisce with her and I enjoyed watching their video. We ended up talking for the entire party and overall I had a nice time at this house and wanted to be asked back for round 3.
Ecuador- First off, let me just say that these girls had a fantastic sisterhood video! It was so well put together and it truly seemed to encompass the girls’ love for each other. Although the video stood out, the conversations from that round didn’t. I still liked them however, and wanted to know more in round 3.
Greece- This house really didn’t stand out for me in round 1, and sort of remained neutral in round 2 as well. I had pretty good conversations with a couple girls, and one awkward one with another. Overall this house was just alright to me.
Spain- This was the house I had been waiting for all day! I had loved it during the first round and grew to love it even more in round 2. The video was cute and the girls I talked to all had such bubbly and sweet dispositions. Everyone seemed to truly care for one another. I left that house feeling absolutely great and started thinking that maybe those girls would end up being my sisters!
Cuba- This was another one of those wishy-washy houses. I really enjoyed round 1, but had an alright round 2. The conversations seemed a little forced, but I really liked their philanthropy and the girls were nice, so I didn’t want to discount them yet.
England- I was also super excited to go back to this house. The girls had an amazing video as well, and they were all very sweet and put-together. The decorations in their house were gorgeous too. I talked to the most girls here than I had in any of the other houses, about 5 in just this one round, so I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not. However, I really enjoyed myself and definitely wanted to go back.
Finally, end of round 2! To be honest, at this point there really wasn’t one house that I didn’t want to go back to. However, seeing as how for round 3 we’re allowed to visit a maximum of 5 this is how I voted:
1. Spain
1. England
1. Morocco
1. Austria
1. Cuba

I feel like I should add at this point that I knew Alpha Gamma Delta would be colonizing later that semester, so I had kept it in mind as well during recruitment. Also, if we had a one party break, instead of trekking it all the way back to the Coliseum, we were allowed to go and rest in their house where they provided snacks and had a chance to promote themselves a little bit. However, I was really unsure if I wanted to be part of a colony as I really wanted more of the traditions of an already established chapter (i.e. big/little)
