Yay for a UW thread! I didn't go there, but I live close by. I have to root for the lilies, since that's my name :-) I can't wait to hear more- good luck & have fun!

Guess you'll have to root for Iris since Lily is out of the running!

I realize that some sororities don't name their chapters in order of the greek alphabet but I realize that many of the do. I am very very impressed at the amount of UW sororities with one letter chapter names (kappa; epsilon etc) which in my mind means they have been on campus for many many years and that it was one of the sororities first chapters installed. I know that may be an incorrect assumption on my part but I'm still impressed by that.

And realizing by the pictures I have seen on the greek web site that washington state is absolutely gorgeous.

Some sororities start a new greek alphabet chapter for each state, so they may have 4 Alpha chapters. I'm sure someone can say which do which. Delta Gamma doesn't do it this way; each chapter goes in order regardless of location.

I gotta say it:
the photos of the houses do NOT do them justice. I drove through Greek Row a couple of months ago and they are really gorgeous

Exclamation Day 1 of House Tours!

Hey everyone! I got my schedule this morning!!! I was so happy to find out that I received a full schedule of ten houses! I felt really lucky since I have heard this is not very common. However, since the house I ranked bottom is on my list, I know I was invited to exactly 10 and know which 6 cut me. I will no longer be visiting the following houses:

Peony
Lavender
Lily
Daisy
Forget-Me-Not
Rose

I'm sooo happy with my schedule though, getting invites to half of my favorites. Today I visited five houses that I had ranked high on my list. Therefore, it isn't surprising that I had a good time at each of them.

I started out in the Violet house. Maybe it was because it was the first party of the day but it didn't go as smoothly as the others went and I won't be too surprised if I'm cut. However, I would be happy to go back and meet more people to get a better feel for it. Their house was AMAZING. Wow. All of the houses are beautiful, though.

Then I went back to the Orchid house. The conversation was easier here. I feel like it's hard to say distinctive things for some of the houses. It just felt comfortable, and they live in a big beautiful house.

Next I went to the Carnation house. I liked their house pretty well. A lot of people sleep in sleeping porches which I don't think is a bad thing. And it was nice talking to a senior who was pre-med.

Then I got to go back to the Sunflower house, which was a favorite. It still is. The women I talked to yesterday came back and said hi, and I got to know other women. They just seem like really smart, active women who are easy to get along with.

Lastly, I went to the Iris house. I really love this house too. Once again, the people I talked to before came back to say hi. And I could actually remember their names without looking at the nametags! It was the same way at the Sunflower house. I feel really good about this house.

I would like invites from any of these chapters, but my two favorites are Sunflower and Iris. Tomorrow I get to go back to what was my #1 yesterday, the Holly house. The other four I see tomorrow I ranked as my bottom four but I am glad I get to have another chance to check them out (I've read enough threads to know that people can change their minds a lot!)

Oh, and if you haven't already be sure to check out the chapter directory I'm not kidding when I say that every house is big and beautiful.

Go! Go! Go! And good deal on getting a full schedule! Was it/is it cold up there? It was dreary and cool all day down here (South sound)...no wonder I am soooo tired. Do you have big football plans for the weekend?

It was freezing! It didn't rain but it was in the low 60s. I had planned on wearing a skirt, then capris, and ended up wearing pants!

I bought the Dawg Pack, so I have tickets to all of the home football games... but Preference makes it so everyone has to miss the Saturday game! I still need to find someone to buy my ticket.

I am sure you are more than willing to trade Pref. for one football game! Just think, if all goes the way we are hoping for it to go for you, you will be attending the next one with your sisters!! Keep us informed. Pack your parka, thermal underwear and umbrella for Pref. if this weather keeps up!!

Exclamation Day 2 of House Tours!

Today wasn't as fun as yesterday because at this point I was exhausted... but it was still fun. Last night I had to write a paper and study and this morning was my last class of Early Fall Start!!! Yay! I get to sleep in now.

I started out visiting the Daffodil house. I'm not sure about this house. I liked the two people who gave me the tour okay. The house is beautiful. I just don't think this is the house for me. I would not mind going back tomorrow, however, just to make sure.

Next I went to the Tulip house. The girls here are really really sweet. The physical house is soooo cool. One of my favorites. I could really see myself hanging out at this house. It's not one of my favorites but I still like this house. I got to talk to someone I talked to yesterday. She is someone I could see myself hanging out with, but I'm not sure about how good of friends we could be. The girls are almost too sweet. I can't explain it. I just don't click as well here as some of the others.

Next I went to the Lilac house! I am sooo glad I got to go back here, even though I didn't originally rank them in my top ten. Last time I was really turned off because I wasn't one-on-one with the women. Today I had a great time.

Next I went to the Holly house. This was one of my absolute favorites from the open houses. It is a favorite of a lot of people, though, and I am afraid I am going to get cut. It's sad, but you can really tell how selective the houses are by who is invited back. I feel like most of the girls that got invited back were prettier than me. I have really loved the girls I have met in this house though... I just hope they feel the same way!

Finally I went to the Primrose house. I got to meet actual women from the sorority this time! Unfortunately, I still don't feel like I fit in here. I don't click with the girls and it's just not what I'm looking for. It's a little too small for my liking. I know that this can mean that the girls are closer, but many of the girls live in their annex and it just doesn't sound like an appealing set-up. The main reason that I don't want to go back, however, is that I couldn't see myself being sisters with the girls. They aren't mean or rude or anything... I just don't feel like I fit in.

Today we ranked our top 6 as #1, then the 7th as #2, the 8th as #3, etc. I ranked the chapters in the following way:

#1

Holly
Sunflower
Iris
Violet
Lilac
Orchid

#2 Carnation
#3 Tulip
#4 Daffodil
#5 Primrose

My goal again is to get a full schedule! However, it would be nice to go back to six of my top 8.

I'm really nervous. I'm afraid I will only get invited back to a few. I don't know why I suddenly feel like this. I wasn't this scared for the first invites! I guess I have just talked to people and know which houses are considered "top houses"... some of these are my favorites and I am worried they will cut me severely.
