Okay, ladies, here's the wrap-up for tonight:
House #4: We were double-rushed again (some girls were and some girls weren't), but it was much smoother this time than last time. The girls I talked to weren't too chatty, but between the rusher, the other rushee and me we managed to have some good conversations. I liked this house -- it seemed very diverse in terms of different types of people, and very involved in a whole bunch of different activities -- but there are definitely some that come before it. I'd like to go back, though, and get a better feel for it.
House #5: Oh my god, we walked into this house and it was unbelievably noisy! All the girls were screaming so loud. The first girl that rushed me was super-cute and chatty and friendly and sooo enthusiastic, and all the girls after her were similar. There wasn't a single dull moment in the conversation, and all the girls absolutely LOVE Madison, so we bonded over that. I told one of the girls how much I was enjoying rush, and she was so surprised. She said, "Every other girl I've talked to has just been, like, eh." I had a ton of fun with these girls, but so did a bunch of the other girls in my group, and I think they'll definitely be one of the more popular houses. Their theme was Planet ________ (like Planet Hollywood), the room was plastered with movie posters, and the girls sang a bunch of songs from movies with the words altered to fit their sorority.
House #6: These girls were nice, but I just didn't click with them. For some reason their skit didn't do it for me, and I didn't have great conversations with the rushers -- not terrible, awkward conversations, but lots of pauses, stuff like that. We just didn't really connect.
House #7: These girls were so down to earth and energetic and fun -- I talked to four or five different girls and had really solid conversations with all of them. They had a Grammies theme with a lot of singing and dancing and it was cute. I accidentally matched their clothing scheme -- red top and black bottoms -- which they all thought was cute. Definitely one of my top choices overall.
Now we've got a day off and then the last four houses of first rounds are on Thursday -- and then we rank them!
And actually, I think I'm kind of liking the way the schedule is spread out, since I woke up this morning with the beginnings of what will become The Cold of Death (one of my friends has been sick, and I guess I caught it from him). Hopefully this will give me some time to recover between rounds!
