Erin:
I like to believe she was a Slytherin.
This makes sense to me for two reasons.  I know a lot of people think 
of her as Hufflepuff from her appearence, and the fact that she was 
picked on, but I think that her behavior after death negates that.  
Namely, the way she haunted Olive Hornsby, the girl who had teased 
her while she was alive.  The absolute pleasure she takes in telling 
Harry of her revenge definitely points towards her being placed in 
Slytherin IMO.

Except that Myrtle was ineligible for House Slytherin - being a Mudblood and 
all...

Personally, I think she was a Ravenclaw - maybe it's the glasses.
