I know there's no way they could've changed Open House to today because of the football game, but the weather looks gorgeous outside. Yesterday was definitely a day I'll remember though. We all got drizzled on a little bit, and once the sun set, we were all freezing, but overall, I had a great time. After spending almost 6 hrs with my group (and the other groups that travelled with us), I definitely feel like I'll be able to walk away with some new friends even if I don't get a bid
I had no idea what to expect in each house, so I was pleasantly surprised at the process. The only thing I didn't like was that the rounds were so short! Some of the houses I felt like I could've stayed and talked with some of the girls all night haha. But I guess that's a good thing. Hopefully they felt the same. But anyway, my thoughts on the houses:
Sevens - It was a great place to start the day. They were so cute and everyone in my group remarked how they reminded us of skittles. This house stayed as one of my favorites all night. I had really easy conversation with the girls I talked to, even if it did feel a bit rushed.
Joe's - This was the only house I knew anything about prior to rush, and I went in really wanting to like it. While the girls were really nice, it felt disorganized. Their song/cheer was longer than the others, so we didn't have much time to talk in this house. I felt really confortable with one of the girls I talked to, but the other was a bit awkward. I'd definitely give them another chance though. It all comes down to who you talk with sometimes.
Chip - I was kind of intimidated at first because a lot of the girls looked like they were "bred" to be in a sorority (not meaning that in a negative way at all), but the girls I talked to were all really nice. I am actually friends with one of the girl's Big, and another girl, we found out we have 3 classes together. I walked away really liking this group too.
Citizens - This house seemed like a lot of fun. Even the house itself looked really bright and cheerful. They had a lot of energy, and were all really adorable. I had good conversation with all of the girls, and one of my really good friends is in this house. I can't get their cheer out of my head haha.
Paige - I was a little disappointed by this house also. I feel bad saying it though because the girls were all really nice. I ended up knowing one of them. But there were a few awkward silences with the girls. I felt like I had to grab at things to talk about, which I didn't at the other houses. I'd give them a second chance though of course.
Pepper - I was a little intimidated at first because of what some of the other girls were saying before we went in. I had really good conversation with all of the girls though. I especially related to one girl and her big. The whole chapter seemed like a really nice group of girls.
Hudson - This group had a rough start with me. Even before their song started, they had a lot of us looking like "
". Once I actually got to sit down and talk, I decided I liked the house overall. I really clicked with two of girls. The girls all seemed to have a lot of different interests, which was cool since they'd all bring something new.
Antik - This house was a little too intense for me. Although we had gotten used to all the banging on the windows right before we go into a house, none of us were expecting a group to actually break a window! They had a lot of energy, while I appreciated the fact that they were trying to get us all excited since it was late, I think we were all a little too worn down. The girls were really nice though and apologetic, I'd definitely go back and give the house another chance...hopefully earlier in the day.
Diesel - This group was fun. They still looked excited without being manic. I had really good conversation at this house and actually ended up knowing two or three girls in this house also. I don't know what it was, but I just had an overall good vibe about this house. I'd love to meet more people here. They were a nice way to end the evening.
End the end, we had to rank our Top 7, and then 8 and 9. My top picks had some ties, but end the end, this is how I ranked them:
1. Citizens
1. Sevens
1. Diesel
1. Chip
1. Pepper
1. Hudson
1. Antik
8. Joe's
9. Paige
I'm so nervous about getting my invites tomorrow. I felt like I really clicked with a lot of girls, but my biggest fear is not getting invited back anywhere haha. Hopefully they clicked with me as well. Wow, this post is getting really long! Thanks for reading down this far
