(For anybody who doesn't know to rage means to party hard) The comment just left a sour feeling with me. I just wanted a different experience than what this house seemed to offer.
**I realize that I made a huge generalization about this house and I am sure they have more to offer than parties, but that was the gut feeling I walked away with. I hope I'm not offending anybody-- I apologize if I am**

I experienced the same feelings about a house when I was going through recruitment... other PNMs kept telling me it was the "best house I had left" at prefs, but I just didn't like that partying was the first impression they wanted to give. I have to wonder if Quarter Horse is the very same chapter, still giving the same first impression after a decade...
