Linnette, Cassie, Kirsten, a few other floormates, and I walked together- early- to our meeting place. Kirsten talked about her boyfriend back home and how she met someone at the party last night. She said something like "[my boyfriend] knows i'm going to cheat on him, i mean we are like a zillion miles away, so whatever". It was really aggrivating for me to hear since my boyfriend was far from me. But I never really took what she said to heart.
We all knew NONE of the sorority reputations, which could be a good thing i guessed.
We split into our groups and walked to sorority row. Low and behold, the MOST BEAUTIFUL HOUSES! ughhhh gorgeous.
Since this story took place a long time ago, I will not be able to tell you the correct order I went to these houses in. but, anyways:
Nate Archibald- ehhh this house was ok. I just didnt like this room in their house that was made out of wood. Alot of their house reminded me of a ski lodge and this is ______ where the sun always shines. I talked to many girls. I asked if their house had parking (big plus if they did!) BUTTTTT they said their parking was reserved for the president and their house mom. It meant a lot to me that a house have parking. I wanted my boyfriend to be able to come and see my house. He was a big part of my life and soon the sorority would be too. The girl I was talking to told me about the rules for boys. This place just had too many rules. for someone who wanted to break free, hearing the rules was not what i wanted.
Chuck Bass- tent talk was intense for this house... and not in a good way. I walked in and....... the house just seemed so barren. Not a lot of picture, not a lot of furniture. Compared to the insides of other houses (all with VERY homey touches and excellent furniture) this house just seemed so... empty. I decided to not talk much. I knew I was not interested. This was ok since the actives had to double up and the other PNM was a talker.
Blair Waldorf- the 3 story house was pretty impressive, but that is all it had. I felt like I was going on a repeat of questions. There was not one girl I actually remembered
Serena van der Woodsen- this house was so small. and it was so dark. it was kind of creepy. BUT the girls were gorgeous and I just clicked and got along with everyone i talked to. We did not talk about sorority life or any of that. there was a point where 2 actives were talking to me. I felt bad because this was another house that was doubling up (2 PNM's for one active) and I had 2 actives and the other PNM was barely talking. I loved the girls, because they reminded me of myself, but I just didnt know if the house was something I could call home. Compared to the other bright, beautiful houses, this house just seemed small and dark.
Dan Humphrey- woahhhh this house was like the stereotypical sorority. Everyone was happy, jumping excited. Seeing to it I just came from Serena van der Woodsen and seeing all these very real, chill girls, this house was too "Oh my gawwwddd" for me.
Vanessa Abrams- There was something about the tiles of this house that just felt like home. I got alot of really cool girls. It seemed like a mix of serena's and dan's in one house. I liked it.
Jenny Humphrey- This house was prob the biggest on the row. The active and i talked about our boyfriends and stuff. We even talked a tad about drinking and stuff lke that (I brought it up). She told me she was a hardcore straightedge due to religious beliefs. I felt the same way here that i felt at Nate's.
Ryan Atwood- was everyone in this house blonde? The girls were fun and poised. Their coutyard was beautiful. I felt at home. It was a wierd feeling, but after this house, i kind of new what I was looking for in a sorority.
Seth Cohen- do not remember one thing... at this point, it took a lot for a house to stick out in my head, and this just didnt. the girls were nice and everything, but you could tell that we were exhausted... on both ends.
Marissa Cooper-I saw it and just knew... this was my house.i walked in and-to this day- i believe this is the most beautiful house visually at ____. I was given a house tour and me and the girl were talking about this clothing store weboth liked. I came accross a picture of all the girls on a yacht. The girl told me one of their date parties was on a yacht. I did a quick scan and.... OH MY GOSHHHH... one of my best guy friends was on the boat! I told the girl and she was like "WOAHHHHHH yes, he is from ______ (my hometown) just like my sister dana!" This just proved to me that I loved Marissa. Another active showed me the rest of the house and took me to the balcony... THERE WAS PARKING (alot)!!!!! and she told me that every sister can use the parking and there are some saved for certain people (prez, house mom). Next, i was seated with another active. She was soooo chill. We talked about my boyfriend and told me "yeah, a lot of the other sororities have rules against boys in their houses and stuff... but we are way chill over here". We even got into talking about partying and she insinuated that they do have low key parties at their house. that was it, a house that fulfilled everything that i wanted
and i loved it.
Summer Roberts- this house was not as aesthetically pleasing as other houses. It was a long day and I believed i found my home
It was easy for me to rank
1 Marissa
1 Ryan
1 Vanessa
1 Serena
1 Blair
1 Dan
1 Seth
1 Summer
2 Nate
3 Chuck
4 Jenny
I basically would only do Marissa and Ryan. No chance for anyone else. I hyped myself up for it. I went through my entire cloet finding things that Marissa and Ryan would like. I amped myself up like crazy. So excited!!!!
Linnette, Cassie, Kirsten, and I all had different favorites. It was not a big deal for me to be in the same house as them. I fell in love with Marissa and Ryan
