Well, I finally got back from my first day of rush! It was pretty exhausting visiting 8 houses after having class and work, but it was still a lot of fun!
I met all the girls that were rushing at around 4:30pm. We divided up into groups and then headed over to the sorority houses to visit all of the chapters! Here's how it went down:
(Using planets for my code names, just a reminder
)
The first house I went to was
Uranus. I liked the girls that I talked to a lot, and we had some pretty good conversations... but I don't know if I'd exactly fit in there. We also got a house tour, and it was gorgeous!
Then I went to
Earth. I actually knew the girl I talked to from somewhere, so that was really cool. However, I didn't seem to click much with the second girl I talked to. The girls were all very nice, though, and I wouldn't mind going back for a second look.
Next up was
Jupiter. I really liked them! Their house (or what we saw of it--we just stayed in the living room) was beautiful, and even though I didn't get to talk to many of the girls, it was only because I had a good conversation with the girl I was talking to. However, I got a vibe that I liked them more than they liked me!
After that, we went to the
Neptune house. Again, had some great conversation, but I didn't feel like I fit in very much with these girls. I know it's just a first impression, but I didn't feel like these particular girls would become my best friends or anything.
Then we got a break!! We got snacks and water, and chitchatted with our friends from other groups. The break ended way too soon, though
Our first house for the second half was
Saturn. This house wasn't particularly my favorite... even though we didn't talk about the usual things like name and major and where we're from, I still felt like some of the conversation was forced or fake. I really didn't feel like I would fit in at that house.
Up next was
Venus. Our conversations took place in the most amazing setting! It made meeting these girls so much better. Everyone was so sweet and nice, and I enjoyed getting to know them.
Then we went to
Mercury--there were so many people talking at the same time in the same little room, so I had to yell and could hardly hear the girls I talked to. I felt like I didn't get to know them enough, which was pretty sad because I liked this house.
And then our last house--
Mars! I really liked this one... their house was cozy and nice, and I seemed to have a lot in common with the girls. This house is definitely somewhere on the top of my list!
After that was a final meeting, where we just went over what the rest of the week was like... and we were free! Went back to the dorms, pigged out with my friends, and sat with our phones in our hands waiting for calls!
I've gotten five calls, to:
Earth
Mars
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
The three I didn't get were all ones that I liked, so that was a bit disappointing. I have a mandatory meeting tomorrow that's going to be hard to get out of, so I'm really stressed about trying to work everything around each other.
It's getting pretty late so I doubt I'll be getting any more calls. 5/8 ain't bad!
I'm exhausted, so I've gotta try to start some homework that's due on Wednesday, and then get to sleep. Another long day tomorrow!
P.S. I went to the JCrew site while bored at work, and yes, the dresses are so cute! I definitely need to stop by there and try them on.
