a very flowery recruitment! (retro-spring2009)

[flowerchild1]

at my school, recruitment is spread over two weekends in february and on the first friday we just have a wicked sick pep rally type thing. it really got me pumped to rushhh as we got to see all the sisters in their letters!

saturday morning, we had to meet our rho gammas in different classrooms around campus before walking all together to our first house. we were all given green tshirts to wear for first round so we didnt have to think about what to wearr thank god. i was kinda nervous going into my first house, but realllly excited!!


iris- the girls i talked to here all seemed adorable and really down to earth. i felt like i connected with all the girls i talked to (besides one who was a little awk but still really nice) and even though it was my first house and i hadnt gone to any of the others yet i knew i definitely wanted to come back here

dandelion- this house is typically jewish on my campus, and as a catholic girl i wasnt so sure if i would fit in here going into rush. however, the girls i talked to were great and i definitely wouldnt mind being asked back

daffodil- this house had such positive energy! this house is known to be one of the "top" ones at my school and i could see why- the girls were all super enthusiastic and were wearing the most adorable colored polos. i loveeed the girls i talked to in this house!!

violet- this is the other typically jewish house at my school, and even though i did like dandelion, i was not the biggest fan of violet. almost every single girl had dark hair and was from long island (nothing at all against long islanders) i just didnt feel like i fit in as well as i couldve

daisy- i love love looooved this house. the girls were all so outgoing and energetic and i was laughing pretty much the entire time. definitely a house i wanted to return to

sunflower- another house i loved! i was gonna have such a hard time making up my mind. my first rusher and i had a few mutual friends so we chatted about that for awhile and then got started on all sorts of crazy topics. even though it was only the first day, i knew i would be happy as a sunflower

tulip- eh. that word pretty much sums up my feelings about this house. the girls were alright but some seemed pretty strange and i feel like i had to initiate most of the conversation. not my favorite house for sure

carnation- i got to talk to a girl who went to my high school at this house, and she introduced me to her big and some of her sisters as "a good friend from high school" and even though this house has kind of a bitchy/selective stereotype i couldnt see it at all as every single girl i talked to was super nice

rose- this house doesnt have the best reputation on campus, but i couldnt see why as i had amazing conversations with the girls and they all seemed so sweet and genuine and truly friends with one another. even though my friends dont agree, i would really like to come back to this house

lilac- the girls in this house were so chill!! every girl i talked to was hilarious and i could definitely see myself fitting in. i already knew quite a few girls in this house, and they all came out of their way to say hi to me

lily- beautiful girls, beautiful house! def one of the prettiest houses i visited, and the girls were so cute and nice! i knew i wanted to return here

petunia- this house was known to be a struggling house on campus. the girls i talked to were all so awkward and as sweet as they seemed, i couldnt see myself being friends with any of them
