I have a round 2 update for you!! First of all I had SO much fun at all of the houses I went to last night. I was going to post last night but I was SO exhausted! Okay, I am keeping the numbers the same as they were the other night....
House one...Talked to some really sweet girls, I really connected with them, they were so easy to talk to. They had the best skit of all the houses...it was a XYZ's in the City (off sex and the city) and the girls did such an awesome job, it was absolutely hilarious.
House three - This was the house I loved during round 1...I met more girls and every one of them seemed like girls I could be best friends with. I could totally be myself, and we all had the same sense of humor. All of the girls are down to earth and so fun. They are very close to one another. They had a skit that was just a lot of different songs that they had changed the words to and they had awesome dances to. I was talking to the Pres of the house and out of the blue said "This house fits you, you totally belong here". It meant a lot to me...I told her how comfortable I was there and how much I loved the girls. It was awesome!
House four - I had another great conversation with the girls. They are all sophisticated and fun, and I really liked talking to them. Their skit was an MTV TRL thing. They did a top five countdown and each song they sang was about their house. They had some awesome singers and dancers in the house. We were served these awesome drinks made with strawberry sorbet and 7-up...they were SO yummy!!
House 6 - I liked these girls a lot too. I talked to the president for a long time and she really made it clear that these girls were CLOSE...they have tons of bonding nights and they all interact so well with eachother. They did a wizard of oz skit that was really cute. Dorothy was confused about joining a sorority and glenda the good witch was encouraging her to join but the bad witch kept scaring her...the tin man and scarecrow and lion all talked her into it and when she joined XYZ she realized there was "no place like home!" It was very cute.
We also went on tours of all of the houses. They are all laid out the same...there is a living room and dining room and all that and each house is beautiful. And then in the back of the house are the rooms. All the rooms are set up in suites, there are 3 rooms per suite. The rooms are so cute and the upstairs suited all have vaulted ceilings....You are required to live in your house for 2 years and in some houses you get to move in right away, others you wait until next year.
Okay, so we went back to where we stay to wait for invites to come back and I started thinking about the two houses I would choose for prefs if I got invited back. I loved house 3 from the start, but I wanted to remain open and make sure that there wasnt another house that I was missing. All of the houses I went to tonight were awesome and I would be happy in any one of them. That is what made the decision so difficult. I knew that I was going to go back to house 3 if invited, but I didnt have a clue about the other one! When our invites came in our rho chi's warned us that some girls hadnt recieved any invites, and some girls had recieved 6 (Apparently, if you cut a house after round 1 and they really wanted you they would ask you back to prefs)...I opened my bid card and saw 5 sororities listed! I got invited back to all 4 I went to, plus a house I released the night before! I feel so fortunate to have had such a selection, I felt SO horrible for the girls who didnt get any invites back
So I struggled and discussed with my Rho Chi, and finally made my pref decision
House 3 and House 1...and since Im sure you're going nuts, I'll tell you what they each are!!
Ready??
House 3 is CHI OMEGA and House 1 is DELTA GAMMA!
So tonight I will going to prefs at those two wonderful houses and then I will sit in anxiousness until 11. At that time we all meet at a lecture hall that is across the street and about 1/4 mile from sorority row. Our Rho Chis hand us our bids and we have to sit on them. Our rho chis reveal their affiliations and then we all open our bids on three....then is what we call "running of the bulls" we all sprint out of the building to our new houses! All of the fraternities will get done like an hour before us, and they line up across the street from sorority row and watch us all run! We then spend the night at our house! Tomorrow we have house pictures and then we all go to the OU vs TU football game with our sisters!
I have had such a wonderful rush experience. I cant believe the process is almost over and I will have sisters soon!! I also feel very fortunate to be able to attend my favorite two houses for prefs...I know that a lot of great girls werent so lucky. Well wish me luck and I'll let you know tomorrow morning whether I am a
CHI OMEGA or a DELTA GAMMA!!!
P.S. Im sorry the grammer and spelling is horrible...Im running on NO sleep and it is finally getting to me!!
Love, Holly
Good luck Holly! You're doing GREAT so far!
