Open houses finished up today! Here's what I thought:
Chandler – Since this was my first house, I was SO nervous. The girls were so so energetic, and a lot of them were very pretty. I had really good conversations with the three girls I met. This could be my favorite house of the night, but I’m not totally sure I could see myself as a sister here, just because they were so intimidating. Practically all the girls in my rush group said this was their favorite of the night also. I really hope I get to go back here for the next round.
Phoebe – I didn’t get to visit this house during the Open Houses in November, so I was interested to see this one. I felt like I didn’t quite fit in here. I was double rushed with another PNM. The girls were energetic and nice, and I had pretty good conversations, I’m just not sure they’re “me”. And I know I shouldn’t be thinking this, but here is a girl in this chapter I cannot stand to be around.
I would go back to this again, only because it wasn’t in my bottom two.
Monica – I liked these girls during Open House in November, but I was just a tad disappointed today. Again, I was double rushed, and I’m not sure my rusher was totally comfortable. She was very nice, but the conversation was slightly awkward. Plus the room was so LOUD, I could hardly hear her standing right next to me! I only got to meet one sister here, which was also a bit disappointing. I would like to give them another chance the next round, if I can, because I liked them during Open House.
Mike – The last house of the night! By then everyone was tired, but I was looking forward to this one. The girls were still energetic and peppy! Their cheer is so darn catchy; it’s still in my head! I met three sisters here, and I had really good conversations. I could see myself as a sister here, and I REALLY hope I get to go back on Sunday – my favorite house of the night.
Joey – I liked this house, but not as much as I did in November. They didn’t have as much energy as some of the other houses, but I had good, non-awkward conversations. I was double rushed again here, which I find kind of frustrating. I definitely want to go back to see if this is where I fit.
Rachel – These girls definitely had the most energy!! They are also very pretty. I talked to three girls here. The first girl I really liked, but the second seem kind of…detached? I’m not sure, it was kind of awkward. They were nice girls but I don’t think I could see myself as a sister.
Gunther – This seems to be everyone’s favorite chapter. The girls I talked to were all gorgeous, and very nice. But again, I couldn’t see myself as a sister. I think I would need to be perfect all the time! They were very intimidating, but I had good conversations.
Ross – I was disappointed by this chapter during Open House, but not today! This one was probably my favorite of the day. The girls I talked to were really nice, and I had good conversations. I could see myself as a sister here for sure. I hope I get to go back tomorrow!
We also saw a presentation at
Alpha Delta Pi. It was a nice break from smiling and chatting! If I didn’t get a bid somewhere, I would consider this. Also, the girl I was talking to said ANYONE could rush this house, whether they just didn’t receive a bid, dropped out of rush, or just decided to do it without doing formal.
It was hard to decide, because I didn’t really dislike any of the houses! I’m excited to get invites back tomorrow morning (up to 6 for Sisterhood - ADPi is dropping out after this round). This was how I ended up ranking:
1) Mike
1) Ross
1) Joey
1) Monica
1) Phoebe
1) Chandler
2) Rachel
3) Gunther
I was so torn, because I didn't know whether to put Rachel or Phoebe in my bottom two. I wasn't crazy about either, but thought I could find a "niche" in Phoebe.
We get our invites at 8:30 tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!!!
