So there are 12 NPC chapters at my school. To make my thread different I decided to use code names from Victoria's Secret secret garden collection.

Love Spell
Pure Seduction
Amber Romance
Strawberries and Champagne
Blossoming Romance
Vanilla Lace
Endless Love
My Desire
Sweet Temptation
Passionate Kisses
Pear Glace
Blissful Moments

On the first day we visited 5 houses
Amber Romance, Blissful Moments, Pear Glace, Endless Love, and Passionate Kisses.

Amber Romance- The girls at this house were so excited when they saw us coming up the driveway. They were jumping up and down singing and banging on pots and pans. They had a very catchy song and it stayed in my head for days. There has been rumors on campus that even though this house has a lot of fun and is awesome to be in, they have a very tough pledge process, and that is something that kind of turns me off. The exterior of the house on the outside doesn't really look like much but the inside is very pretty, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. I got immediately paired up with a very pleasant girl that reminded me of one of my friends from home. I only talked to the one girl at this house, which was odd but we really got along. Other girls from my rush group talked to 2 or 3 other girls. I kind of got the feeling that I might not fit in but, I left feeling like I made a good impression and was even more excited to go to the next house.

Blissful Moments- This house was one of my favorites. It was sooo pretty and the girls seemed so nice and very genuine. I talked to about 4 girls at this house and had deccent conversations with all of them. No awkward moments or anything, but at the same time nothing really stood out, all our conversations seemed pretty basic. I felt comfortable here, which was definately something I was looking for in a house.

Pear Glace- I wasn't a huge fan of this house. It was pretty on the outside and inside, and the girls seemed pleasant enough but something just wasn't clicking. All of the conversations I had were very basic and the girls I talked to just didn't seem to be as motivated about things as I was. I felt like there was an aura of apathy. I left disappointed and knew that I was probably going to cut them.

Endless Love- Of all the houses these girls had to be the loudest. They were shouting, jumping up and down and banging on walls, doors and anything in sight. As frightening at first as it was, I have to admit that it did make me curious and excited to go inside. They seemed to have a lot of spirit and tenacity until we started talking. I probably had the 4 most superficial conversations of my life at this house. Everything seemed to revolve around what you looked like, what you owned and who you knew. As exciting and peppy as they were, I wasn't sure if I could keep up and spend hours trying to perfect myself everyday.

Passionate Kisses- This was the last house I visited. I have heard only really good things about this house so I was very excited to visit it. I had a really good time talking to the girls at this house except for one of them. She kept asking me awkward things like if I had a fake id, what bars on campus are my favorite and if I go to a lot of frat parties. I kept changing the subject and she kept bringing it back up. But besides that I really enjoyed this house and wanted to go back to it. It was very neat and pretty and also located really close to where I live on campus.

I'm glad to see the rabbit hole spit you back out!

So on day two we went to the remaining seven houses on campus. In order they were.

Pure Seduction
Strawberries and Champagne
Blossoming Romance
Sweet Temptation
My Desire
Vanilla Lace
Love Spell

Pure Seduction- I absolutely loved this house. The girls I met were really nice and I had soo much in common. I have to say that all my strongest conversations during round 1 took place here. I felt very comfortable and every girl I talked to seemed really thrilled. I left this house so happy.

Strawberries and Champagne- I felt awkward at this house. The girls were nice and everything but I couldn't help but feel like I was being sized up the entire time. It got even weirder when I was talking to one of the girls because she kept swearing and was not conducting herself in a ladylike manner at all. I definately think that they could tell how uncomfortable I was. I did not expect to go back to this house at all.

Blossoming Romance- I have to admit that this is the sorority girls love to hate. Secretly I have always liked them though. Their house is gorgeous and I like their symbols, and not to mention they have an amazing philanthropy. All the conversations I had were pretty deccent. I think I made a good impression on one girl but other than that I don't know if I made myself stand out enough.

Sweet Temptation- I really liked this house. The girls seemed so chill and laid back. I also hear that they definately know how to have fun as well. All my conversations were good except for one, it got really awkward and the girl wouldn't respond to anything I had to say, but other than that I enjoyed the house.

My Desire- This house was another favorite. All the girls here were so much fun and I really felt like I fit in with them. There was one girl in particular that really made me feel comfortable. The house was really pretty and I definately knew that I wanted to go back.

Vanilla Lace- I have to admit that this house probabaly has the worst reputation on campus. I went in with an open mind and I actually kinda liked them. I didn't exactly see myself fitting in there, but I wouldn't mind giving them a second chance. A lot of the girls are really awkward and kinda butch, but for the most part I though that they were sweethearts. While most people were planning on cutting them I thought that at least for the first round I wouldn't.

Love Spell- This was the last house of the day and I was very tired by this point. I liked this house except they have the reputation for being very selective and I couldn't help but notice that all the girls did look very similar. This kind of intimidated me. As nice as they all were I had the feeling that I might not fit in. But at the same time if they invited me back I would like to return and get to know them better.




At the end of day I had to rank. For round 2 we could be invited back to a maximum of 9 houses, so we had to rank our top 9 and cut 3.

This is what I decided:
1 Pure Seduction
2 My Desire
3 Blissful Moments
4 Sweet Temptation
5 Blossoming Romance
6 Amber Romance
7 Passionate Kisses
8 Vanilla Lace
9 Love Spell

I decided to cut:
Pear Glace
Strawberries and Champagne
Endless Love

Good luck on day 3! I think it's great that you didn't judge houses by reputation, rather you went in with an open mind. It's known fact that most rumors about houses have little to no ground.
Good luck again! Keep us updated as you have been!
