Washington, Washington, Washington State???

I base this on the chapters and on the number of PNMS, but I am having trouble figuring out which house is which. If i am right i know who Claire is and have to say that while a student I had some friends in that house who where really nice, but felt kinda of hard tfor me to fit into the group.

If I know what house you think it is... I think it just sucks that people automatically write it off especially since it's full of amazing, smart, friendly women!! I ended up being really happy because I went into rush, as I said in my first post, not knowing any of the reputations because it really helped me get into the amazing house I'm in today!!

OH, and I can't believe how rude that girl was! I would be so mad if one of my sisters did that during recruitment!
I think the crafts at other houses went a lot smoother when we watched a video on the philanthropy first because it not only took up a lot of time but it also gave me something to ask questions about...because most PNMs come into rush not knowing everything about each houses philanthropy!

Yay, I'm glad I didn't out you, and I was right!

My dealings with women on the other side of the border have all been positive, and the heat is BLARGH during rush.

I know, when I told my Rho Gam about this she said a lot of other girls complained that that house did the same thing to them!

I am reading, and cannot wait for your next post. However, I am never any good at guessing the school

A side note: I actually dislike doing crafts on philanthropy day, especially since I am also not "artistically inclined". The whole time I felt as if I was being judged on what I created!

I can't wait to hear more! And I've got so much respect for you for staying sweet and polite to the girls in the houses that you didn't want. I witnessed the same thing during rush that you did...girls being rude so they could get cut, while the actives have been nothing but nice to them. I'm so glad that you were not one of those girls.

And Boone? Thats awful! Aren't they trying to get members?

I can't wait for prefs...I'm on the edge of my seat!

I woke up extra early on this day, not to just get ready but because I was so nervous!!
When I got my schedule back I almost started crying! I didn’t cry because of the houses I got back, rather the one house I didn’t get back.
These were the houses I got:
Walt
Jack
Claire


These were the houses I didn’t get asked back to:
Libby
Boone

Since I had ranked Boone as #5 I wasn’t upset when I didn’t see them on my sheet. I was, however, pretty sad not to see Libby especially since the girl had said she couldn’t wait to see me back again.
On the bright side I was really stoked to see Walt and Jack.

On this last day everyone was in dresses, I wore a black dress and heels.

Walt:
I talked to the girl I had talked to the day before which was really great because I wasn’t nervous when I talked to her. We got food and nice drinks on this day, and oh my god theirs was so amazing! They had a few girls read letters to their sisters, which was really moving. I never cry, I hate being emotional but when one girl read about how her sisters helped her through a really tough time I was seriously sobbing. I realized that I wanted to be in a house like that, with so much support and respect.

Jack:
At this house I talked to the girl I had talked to the day before. She was so amazing to me, she kept telling me how happy she was that she was talking to me again and how she had made them put me with her! Everything they did at this house really made me smile, I seriously began thinking about ranking this house high!

Claire:
I still knew this house wasn’t for me but I felt really bad when the other PNM I was with went to the bathroom at the beginning of the party and just never came back. They had amazing food at this house as well…but the girl I talked to just mashed her into little pieces and got it all over the table…it was awkward. She also talked about being drunk 24/7. They sang to us at the end and I couldn’t stop laughing because this girl thought she was sooo amazing at singing, her facial expressions were sooo funny. I felt really bad but I tried to keep it in.

When it came time to rank the houses I had a really hard time. I didn’t know if I should suicide bid or not. I knew I would put down Jack and Walt but wasn’t sure if I’d write Claire down since it really just wasn’t for me. I ended up writing Claire in because I went through recruitment to be a part of the greek community, not to be in one specific house...and i figured if I got asked back to Claire I'd atleast give it a try! It took me a while to decided what house to put as number 1, I ended up putting Walt because I had cried at that house, which wasn't something I would have expected myself to do.
After about 30 minutes of thinking I put the following:
1- Walt
2- Jack
3- Claire

Have any guesses about which one I into?
