ROUND 2!
Hi guys! Sorry I've been so busy all day but here's Round 2!
I woke up on Sunday morning very excited and nervous for the day to come. We were to meet with our Rho Gamma groups once again to get our schedules, but then we would be splitting up because obviously all our schedules would be different.
The maximum number of houses we could return to for Round 2 was 9, but our Rho Gammas told us that most people would have 7 but it would not be out of the ordinary to have 5 or even less.
My Rho Gammas handed me my schedule, and I opened it to find that (in the order I was visiting them) I had Montego Bay, San Juan, Las Vegas, Miami, Punta Cana, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Nassau, and Cancun. I was sooo happy and excited, as the only house that cut me was Acapulco and they were not one of my favorites anyways. Courtney, my best friend, also had 9 and Jenny, my roommate, was upset because she had 5. Out of my other two best friends Lisa and Alex, Lisa had 9 as well and Alex had 7. I could not wait for the day to begin!!
Montego Bay- This was my first house of the day, and they literally blew me out of the water. The house was decorated SO cute and their video (every chapter shows a video for philanthropy round) was amazing and made all the sisters seem so close. The four girls I talked to were all so beautiful and outgoing, and I really enjoyed my time here.
San Juan- This was the only house I had to return to for Round 2 that I had tried to cut Round 1, and again, I found that I did not connect well with the sisters. Because they are so new, it seemed that they did not really know what to do while the video was playing and I found all of the girls I talked to to be pretty awkward. I left knowing I would try to cut them again.
Las Vegas- I had LOVED Las Vegas from the day before, and I left philanthropy round feeling the same way. The sisters were all so down to earth and cute, and I really liked every one I met. My friend, Emily, also came up and said hi and that she was really happy to see me back. Overall, I left with a great impression of this house and hoped I would be able to return Round 3 because I could really see myself fitting in here.
Miami- Again, I really enjoyed my time at Miami. A couple of the girls seemed a little fake but overall they were all very sweet and they had a great video and craft. Also (as someone who is very into fashion) I really liked the outfits they were wearing. I liked Miami, and would be happy to return for Round 3.
Punta Cana- The energy that Punta Cana had during their video was literally a thousand times better than any other house I visited this day. Our Rho Gammas had told us that during the video, as well as watching the actual video we should also watch the sisters to see how they interact with each other, and they were all so cute dancing and singing together and you could tell that they really loved one another. I talked to Lindsay (my friend)'s best friend on this day who I had already met and loved, and I also met two other girls who I got along with great. I hoped that I would be invited back to Punta Cana again.
Cabo- The energy at this house was also great during the video, but I still could not see myself fitting the stereotype of Cabo. The girls I met were all super nice and friendly and I liked them, but deep down I just did not think I would mesh well with the house as a whole.
Puerto Vallarta- I really did not enjoy my time at Puerto Vallarta today. The craft was definitely the cutest out of every house I visited, but my conversations did not get past the general major, where you live, etc topics which they had at every other house. The girls I met today were very nice but a little awkward and I felt like I had to carry most of the conversations. Overall, if I had to come back I obviously would not be upset but there were houses I visited that I liked much more.
Nassau- I was so excited to return here again, and they did not let me down. Their outfits were adorable and they were all so put together and nice. I loved all of the girls I met and found talking to them so easy and their video was awesome. I really hoped I would be able to come back to Nassau again.
Cancun- Last house of the day! Because the parties were now 40 minutes, I was so exhausted to reach the last house but excited that it was Cancun. Their video was HILARIOUS and I loved their outfits, too. The sisters I met were all so great and funny and I could see why nobody ever has anything bad to say about Cancun. I hoped I would be invited back again!!
At the end of Round 2, we could keep 6 houses and list three we would want to cut. I did as follows:
1. Cancun
1. Las Vegas
1. Punta Cana
1. Nassau
1. Montego Bay
1. Miami
2. Cabo
3. San Juan
4. Puerto Vallarta
We would now have to wait five whole days to find out where we would be going back, and everyone was so stressed out! Because there was such a long period of time to wait, obviously all anyone could talk about was rush. Courtney (best friend) loved Montego Bay, Punta Cana, Nassau, and Cancun. Jenny (roommate) loved Punta Cana, San Juan, and Puerto Vallarta. My other two best friends both really liked Las Vegas, Cancun, and Punta Cana.
I'll try and update more tomorrow!!
