I know my dad is so awesome. My brother and him came to go make a day out of it so I guess my stupidty wasnt that bad, but still bad.

Anyway I am done with the first and boy oh boy do my feet, and I wasnt even in heels. I saw all the houses today and then made my preferences for tomorrow where i will b seeing 5 houses.

I will go in party order:

Jazz- this was the first party so I was really nervous. I met alot of girls and got offered a very cute looking mocktail but I was too nervous to take more than one sip. I got to hear alot about thier involvement with their philantropy and also about their mixers and such. I really liked them, but so do alot of other girls so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Ballet- they were next and I was really excited to see them. I watched the video first and they kept us in those chairs so it was kinda weird for their bumping. I only got bumped once and ended up talking to the same girl for like 20 minutes, she was really nice and we had a great time chit chatting, no awkward pauses.

Hip-Hop- this house sunk even lower in the ratings for me. After the video we talked but most of our conversation was how you dont have to get involved here and most sisters only go to chapter and mixers. I personally want to join a sorority to be highly invovled with them so that was a major turnoff. Also this same girl totally just bailed out of our conversation to talk to anothr group for like 5 minutes about track leaving me to just stand there, I was really disappointed with them.

Musical Theater- this groups video was like the best made, although I didnt like/click with the content of the video. The girls I talked to here were really nice though, and I actually met someone who went to my same highschool so that was really cool, we talked about the teachers we had and such.

Modern- This was the only party were I was rushed 2 pnms to a sister. I thought it was a little odd, also it was just weird because the floaters were just walking around and not doing that much so I couldnt see why one floater could just break our group up but whatever. Anyway this place kinda not awkward in coversation but awkward in atmosphere, this is porbably because the other pnm talked about going out and then the sister and her talked about and ladies night which made me kinda uncomfortable. So I liked them still but not as much as I did before.

Tap- tap was so much better in my mind today. My first rusher actually remember me from showcase last semester which I took as a nice compliment. they were all really friendly and really sweet. Also one of the girls on my dace team is in this chapter, the oly thing I didnt really like was they kneeled to talk to you which was kinda awkward, and it was also really loud so it was hard to hear sometimes. They definately made up ground in my mind though

and last but not least

Lyrical- This was my last party but I wasnt that exhausted. This party was very overwhelming they were so hyper. Also after they found out I danced they apparently love dancers and they went all crazy on me. I was like ahh. they were on my top three before we went in but they sunk for me. I think if I still get them tomorrow I will obviously give them a second chance but they kinda scared me with thier over eagerness.

Here is what I ranked:
1 Ballet
1 Jazz
1 Tap
1 Musical Theater
1 Modern
2 Lyrical
3 Hip-Hop


Tomorrow is philanthropy day and I am invited hopefully back to 5 houses so wish me luck tomorrow!

I wouldn't hold that against them...a lot of chapters kneel. My chapter would kneel and the chapter I advise kneels. It looks better than sisters leaning over PNMs sitting in chairs. It would be better to have a chair for the sister as well, but they don't always have that luxury!

Sounds like your keeping an open mind...have fun!

True. The chapter probably kneels because they want to be on eye level with the PNM sitting in a chair, that's all. I think it would be more awkward to be sitting down and trying to hold a conversation with a sister who is standing over you.
