Sam ... were you'all done for the day or did you get caught in the storm?

Hope you were done .. .the lightening has been bad out here on the east side of town. At least it seems to be cooling off (a little)
:-)

It's funny you mention that.
There's been a running joke,
so to speak, about Pref night
and thunderstorms. Over the
years it seems that pref night
is met with thunderstorms.
So you see lots of PNM's dressed
in pretty black dresses, running
from house to house.

And my pref night was no
different. I was drenched and
had to run to my car...the thunder
and lightning can be scary.

I've heard stories from "older" (from the '70s and '80s) UofA alums talking about the dye from shoes running all over the place on pref night when PNMs got caught in the rain...

I really want to hear about Sams third day!! I'm curious if she went back to the same ones I did, cause we pretty much ranked the same houses. Hurry up Sam! I'm already here!!

Hello All!!

No, I didn't get caught in the storm-it barely started right as I got to my car- thank god!
So today we could go back to no more than 8 houses-I was asked back to 8!

The raspberry house: I didn't really like this house on the first day, but I talked to more girls today and clicked with them a little better. I still CANNOT see myself in this house, though.

The grape house: I really liked this house! The girl who picked me up had a lot in common with me which was good because talking to her was a lot easier! We made pages for books they were donating to their philanthropy and then looked at their awards. This house has won so many things! Their GPAs are always good, each member is very active on campus etc...This house wasn't my absolute favorite but I wouldn't mind going back tomorrow!

The apple house: This house was not in my top 8-the girls were nice, but it seemed like I was always doing the talking and the member never said anything. I definately did not fit in here either....

The pear house: Still LOVE this house! I was paired with another PNM who apparently knows everyone in this house so I didn't get to say much, but I was able to squeeze in a 'I'm so glad to be back' type comment. Again, all the girls were great-never a dull moment in the conversations!

The orange house: Still LOVE this house, too! Every girl I have met here is awesome! The conversations were good, I had a lot in common with the girls I talked to. I would love to go back to this house too!!

The plum house: Again, still LOVE this house. I can totally see myself in this house! I was paired with another PNM who knew everyone again, but I tried my hardest to ask questions and talk to the members. Definately want to go back......

The strawberry house: This house was not in my top 8 either. I really don't click with the girls here-even though they all seemed nice- the conversations were really slow-I just don't fit in.

The mango house: Another house that was not in my top 8. The conversations today went a little better, but not as great as I had hoped. The girls I talked to didn't seem very interested...

So tomorrow I can go back to no more than 5. Here is how I ranked them:

Top 5 (in no specific order): Orange, plum, pear, grape, raspberry.
2: Mango 3: Apple 4: Strawberry.

I'm very nervous about tomorrow! I really hope I get to go back to my favorite houses!!

Thanks for the update ... sounds like you had a really great day.

Good luck for tomorrow...

mmcat · #96 08-23-2003, 11:09 PM

keep your focus...and your open mind...you never know what might happen. also...keep smiling and enjoying.

AZpinkkittie · #97 08-23-2003, 11:12 PM

Wow, it's so crazy that we like some of the same houses SO MUCH, then have completely different feelings about others!! It makes ruch even more exciting for me!!

And you're right. Every girl going through recruitment is in love with Grape!!!

TechAPhi · #98 08-24-2003, 04:33 AM

OK. Is anyone else doing this: copying their posts and pasting them somewhere else so you can compare their thoughts on each chapter?

I have gone off the deep end!

Thanks to both of you for reporting for us! It's so much fun to read your impressions of each house. Best wishes!!

Hey girls....not a good day at all.....

So today we could return to no more than 5-I got asked back to 3. Two have been my least favorite the whole time and 1 I love:

The strawberry house: I feel really bad saying this, but I do not fit in here. The conversations haven't been good, the girls are nice though. This house just isn't for me.

The plum house: This was the house I love! I got a tour today-they have an amazing house!! The girls I talked to are all great and sooooooo friendly! The skit was hilarious too! It was based around the osbournes. I really hope I get to go back tomorrow-if not I'm gonna drop out. I know none of you want to hear that, but its the truth.

The mango house: The girl I talked to today was way better than the ones I've been talking to. However, I still don't think I would fit in. Again, I'm just not clicking with them.

So, thats all I have to say. Tomorrow is pref nite and I really hope I get to go back to the plum house!

Cuts suck!

Glad you still like plum!! Good luck on your invites for tomorrow.

AllisonDG · #**101** 08-24-2003, 09:50 PM

Well, congrats on being asked back to plum! I will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for an invite from them. Good luck!

Don't be sad.
Getting back three houses
is a good thing.
As cliche as it sounds,
keep an open mind. You
never know how you might
feel about a house until you're
actually in it, so the other two
houses that you're iffy on could
turn out to be great places.

However, we'll keep our fingers
crossed for your return to the Plum
house!

mmcat · #**103** 08-24-2003, 10:48 PM

keep trucking...
go where you need to be.
with any luck at all there is a plum in your future....

UASoph02 · #**104** 08-25-2003, 07:26 PM

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! Good luck and keep an open mind!
