Day 2 Open Parties

I got up, joined my rush group, and began going to parties.

Marmalard:
The girl who greeted me took my jacket, checked size and brand, and nodded in approval (???). She led me to a seat in a nice chair in the living room, and the conversation went well, until...
Marmalard girl: Do you like your roommate?
Me: We get along, but we arent the best of friends.
Marmalard: Thats too bad. Why not?
Me: She's a sophomore, we don't hang out much.
Marmalard: Thats so weird. I don't get that at all. Sooo soooo weird (ect).
Me: So, whats your favorite part of Marmalard?
Marmalard: Like, thats just so weird. I don't get it. Like, sooo weird I'm not over it...

That went on for another five minutes. I did not want to go back to Marmalard, even though it was a top house.

(Sidenote: My roommate is actually a complete psycho who dries deer jerky in the room. I generally do not go into detail about her during rush.)

Babs: Sweet girls. Very very nice girls. However they were a struggling house, and you could tell how few sisters there were. The girl I spoke to was a complete sweetheart, but I could not connect in conversation with her. I went out of my way to give the girl a chance, but the conversation would not get going. She was a sweetheart, but I could not see myself as a Babs.

Pinto: I was in love. Completely. I loved all three girls I spoke too. We could not stop talking, and I think we both were upset when the bell rang and we had to go to the next party. The girls were sweet, cool, and we really connected. I could really see myself in this house. It was my favorite.

Katy:
I also loved this house. I spoke to a girl who looked almost exactly like me...when the girl who was to bump her came over, she called me by the sisters name. We really connected, and I loved this house.

Dean Wormer:
I remember really connecting and really liking this house. I liked it alot, but I was not as comfortable as I was at Pinto, Hoover, and Katy. I still really wanted to go back to this house.

Boon: Despite this houses bad reputation, I really connected with the girl I spoke to. It was a rough start, as I got lost on entry and no one picked me, up but I loved being in the house. Though I was not from Long Island like the majority of these girls, and I was a bit diferent in personality them (my family is heavily southern), I was suprised how much I liked Boon.

Bluto: The first girl I spoke to was nice, but I knew her and inexplicably felt really really awkward around her. The second girl was great though...we got along really well, and she made me really like Bluto. It wasn't my top, but I really wanted to return to Bluto.

Mandy: The last house of the day. At this house, the girls sit at your feet to talk to you, so I offered my rusher a spot on the couch next to me. She sat next to me, and told me I was the first to offer her a spot on the couch all day. The second girl I spoke to was great. She was from my hometown, and we had a great conversation.

At Faber, you list your 9 favorites and rank your bottom three.

My List
Pinto
Katy
Boon
Hoover
Otter
Dean Wormer
Niedermayer
Bluto
Mandy

My ranked
1. Marmalard
2. Flounder
3. Babs

Kirsti told me thats she had to go back to Otter and Founder, otherwise she wasn't sure. Lani also wanted Dean Wormer. Amanda wasn't sure, but she told me that she really liked Boon and Pinto. Jamie liked Niedermayer and Pinto, and Lisa would only be in Otter or Marmalard.

On the way home, Jamie tried to talk me out of liking Pinto. Um, yeah right.

The next day, I opened up my invites. I was invited back to...

"FOOD FIGHT"
(Posted only to get me into this thread-I too am hooked on this.
Fraternity rush does not ever seem to be this much fun. Or at least no one has yet to write about it)

From IMDB:
Memorable quotes for
Animal House
http://imdb.com/title/tt0077975/quotes

Trivia for
Animal House:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0077975/trivia
The original house on the University of Oregon campus used for exterior shots of the Delta house is no longer standing.

The interior scenes of the Delta house were filmed in a Sigma Nu fraternity. The exterior of the Delta house was a dilapidated house from the 1800's that was torn down in the early 90's. The sorority house's exterior is the real exterior of the Sigma Nu house that was used for the interior scenes.

OH - GATOR DRILL! (Gamma Phis were NOT allowed to watch as the fraternity men "gatored", so of course they always did at mixers so they could see us all turn on our heels - I had totally forgotten!)

I love this thread . . .
