Just finished talking to "Shannon" - not her real name of course! It sounded like she had a pretty good day despite the constant rain. Thank you for your words of caution Mary Poppins and PKTKKG. I'll be very cautious.
The PNM's all wore yellow t-shirts today which were provided by Panhellenic. Most of the girls wore shorts.
Apparently, even though the PNM's stayed dry when they were beneath the tents and could use umbrellas while walking between the houses, once the Rho Gamma group was called up to the house, each PNM had to leave her belongings with the Rho Gamma - which meant she had to stand uncovered until the door opened - the bottom line is you were going to get wet.
The girls in her group seemed to take it in stride.
I've decided to use the names of cities in Florida for the various groups at FSU (excluding Gainesville, of course, since this is an FSU thread!). So here goes:
Today she visited Ocala, Tampa, Venice, Naples, Jacksonville, Orlando, Daytona Beach, and Miami. At some of the parties it was very loud and difficult to hear conversations. Her conversations at Ocala seemed the most natural, and she had a common interest with her primary host at Tampa. Her host at Jacksonville talked with her all the way to the door, which she took as a good sign. The girls she talked to at Miami talked about some funny things which she liked and she described the girl she spoke with at Daytona Beach as "being very down to earth".
For lunch each Rho Gamma group went to Suwannee Hall for lunches provided by Panhellenic.
Overall she felt that the conversations went well and that she would be interested in returning to every single house.
They start over tomorrow with a Rho Gamma group meeting at 10:30 am followed by parties at the rest of the houses.
