Hey all-
I got back from my first night a little over an hour ago. I'm trying to write a paper before I pass out, so I'll make it quick. I'm also trying to reveal as little detail as possible, because there is at least one active member on GC, and I don't want to cause any trouble!

Tonight I went to four of the eight houses. I'll use some nice little constellation code names, cause why the heck not! I'll tell ya that there's no hidden meaning in these names, I'm picking them as I go along, and frankly I'm much too tired to think of anything clever...

Pegasus was the first house I went to. I talked to a few girls in their living room, and it was very comfortable. I wasn't exactly nervous, but I was put at ease very quickly and the conversations went well. I REALLY liked their house... we didn't have tours yet, but they explained things about their size/living requirements/accomidations and stuff, and I'm very excited. This was what probably made the best impression on me!

Aquarius was the next house. As I made something for their philanthropy, I spoke to two sisters. I had so much fun talking to them! We had a ton to talk about, not just about the sorority or about majors, school, etc. I felt completely like myself, and I think the two girls were enjoying the conversation a ton too, which made me even more comfortable! I only wish I had spoken to more than two girls, because I wanted to see if they were all this cool. A lot of the girls in my group liked this house as well.

Cepheus was the third house. I sat in a chair and was able to talk to about four or five girls who were rotating around the room. They were all very nice and had a lot to say, but I didn't feel as comfortable as the first two houses. Still, they were sweet, and I'm looking forward to meeting more of them later this week.

The last house was Orion. It was probably because we had all been talking, singing, and whatnot for almost three hours, but conversation did not flow as well here, which was disappointing. The girls all seemed very sweet too, but you know what? "Sweet" is not really me. There were many points where we ran out of things to say. I also wasn't too enthused about the particulars of their house/living requirements. Still, nothing completely turned me off, and it would be nice to get to know them better.

So that's it! I visit the other four tomorrow night, and I'm excited to see how it goes! I really felt the "click" with Aquarius, and also liked Pegasus a lot and would like to get to know them and the other two better.

And now I must go write like a madwoman!!
