Part Four: Open House Round

I got to the meeting place bright and early! All dolled up and ready to start my day, I waited anxiously to get my schedule. When Tinkerbelle finally gave me my schedule and it read:

Rapunzel
Merida
Elsa
Snow White
Anna


Looking at my schedule I had conflicting feelings, I still had five houses which was good and better than some of the others in my rho gamma group! I had my favorite house of the day, Anna. I had Elsa! I was really really happy to see Elsa on my list. I also had Rapunzel, I was really pleasantly surprised that Rapunzel was on my list seeing as how I was pretty sure I wouldn't get invited back. I was very willing to give Merida another chance and was looking forward to seeing more of Snow White.

While I was pretty happy with my schedule, I was a little shocked that I had been cut by Belle, Cinderella, Ariel and Aurora! I really had thought that I made good connections with them and that they had liked me. I couldn't stop thinking about why they had cut me, what I had done wrong at those parties. Tinkerbelle reminded me that it was an honor to get invited back to the houses I did and that I did really well. The houses that had cut me had a reason to and in the end, if they didn't want me then its their loss! She told me to hold my head high, walk into the parties I did have with a smile on my face and rock it. In the end you only need one.

Rapunzel was up first. Yesterday I had been so disappointed by Rapunzel, I was skeptical about what I would find inside today. I loved all of it! Today I was so impressed by their philanthropy! Their house was really bright and beautiful, it was a house I could see myself in. I adored the girls I talked to today, I feel like I made real connections with them. I am really hoping that I will be returning tomorrow!

Merida came next, I was really sad looking down the street and seeing all the girls lined up outside of Cinderella. But I walked in I held my head high and tried to get a real feel of the house. I liked them a lot more this time! They had a really fantastic philanthropy. I liked the girls and I would be happy to return tomorrow, but I am still not sold on Merida.

Elsa, I couldn't wait to come back today! I was really happy that I still had them on my schedule and I was excited to learn more about their philanthropy. They even made their philanthropy party into a dance party. I was really happy to be there and I enjoyed my conversations with these girls as well!

Snow White was next on my list. I don’t have much to say about Snow White, they were nice and had a really great house, but I just didn't get any impression of them in general. I would be fine returning, but I am not confident with them.

Finally, I got to Anna! I had been waiting all day to go back and when I did I was not disappointed. They were the same as they had been yesterday, and I had the same great feeling. They were the only house that had a personal story connected to their philanthropy and the only ones that sang to us again. I will be absolutely devastated if I don’t return to Anna, right now all I can think about it going back to Anna.

and the infamous dance party is round 1. But I'm wondering if you don't mind sharing more details of that party. Maybe it's a more positive thing than some of us are imagining.

The terminology and schedule identify the school; it's not the "dance party" school.

Oh, I KNOW it wasn't the "original" dance party school. I just figured we would get a chuckle out of that type of party being mentioned.

I can give you more details on that party round one! When I said, "dance party" I meant they didn't have a routine. During their songs and chants, most other chapters had a routine they performed with cute moves and lots of jumping. At Elsa, they didn't have a routine! They were literally dancing with each other, all kinds of fun things you would do with your friends at a party rather then in front of PNMs. I even daw one girl doing the shopping cart move! It was really funny and they seemed to just be genuinely having fun with one another rather then performing for us.

The same thing was happening in the second round, they had a room of the house where their philanthropy things were set up, in it they were blasting music so loud you could hear it walking up to the house. When I was brought in there were a ton of actives around the room dancing similarly to how they had during the first round.

Also, if you think you know what school I go to message me! Its fun to hear what you think.


As an aside, things are going very well in my new chapter! I am getting to know my pledge class and we are having a great time. I have an activity with my pledge class tonight! I will be posting my account of skit night when I get back tonight!

You have such a great attitude, Allo, I'm really proud of you and loving this story so far. Can't wait to see where you end up (and rooting for Anna)
