It's not that she's "not comfortable returning," it's that she's "comfortable not returning." At Bama, girls can only visit 11 houses during round 2, so if she is invited to her top 11, she would not return, but if she is not invited to her top 11 and is invited to Billy Bigelow, she would be glad to go back.

Round Two Invites
 

Sis was invited back to 12 chapters for round two! She was surprised because she had been told that out of staters are usually cut very heavily. Since she was invited back to 12 and can only visit 11, she had to cut one. She said she was glad that she had made the list the night before so that she had already thought about where she would choose not to return in a situation like this. For round two, Sis will visit:

Danny Zuko
Mack Sennett
Link Larkin
Melchior Gabor
Harold Hill
Billy Flynn
Christopher Scott
Frank Butler
Seymour Krelbourn
Jamie Wellerstein
Nathan Detroit

It sounds like your sister had a wonderful time and was keeping a very open mind. Yeah for her.


I'm glad there is a happy ending :D

yea for dgdramadawgsis!!

Psst...you don't have to do this in "real time".

(Not-so-subtle request for faster updates... ;) Please :o:))

Hear hear! It sounds like her recruitment is going (or I guess went) great!

ROUND TWO, DAY ONE
 

For philanthropy round, Sis is visiting 11 houses. She visited 8 today and will visit the other 3 tomorrow.

HAROLD HILL: Sis said that while she didn't love the girls here as much as she did during round one, she still liked them a lot. She has been told that it is rare for an out-of-stater to be invited back for more than one round, so she isn't getting her hopes up for a round three invite.

CHRISTOPHER SCOTT: Sis said she was rushed by a couple of fun, funny girls and got to see her friends. Today, Sis saw the Christopher Scott she was expected from her friends' descriptions of it.

SEYMOUR KRELBOURN: Sis really loved this group's philanthropy. Her first couple of rushers were very sweet, but Sis said she felt like her last rusher was very ready to be done with the conversation pretty early on. Between round one and her last rusher today, Sis doesn't think she can see herself here.

BILLY FLYNN: Sis was rushed by friends here today and felt a lot better about this house. While she isn't certain, she feels much better about how this house could fit her.

NATHAN DETROIT: Sis said that the girls who rushed her at this house seemed to know everything about her. She is really surprised by how much they seem to like her because she doesn't know anyone in this chapter.

JAMIE WELLERSTEIN: Sis liked their philanthropy and liked the girls who rushed her much better than the ones she met during the first round. She is very glad she gave them another shot!

DANNY ZUKO: While Sis enjoyed the other houses she visited, she said she was not happier all day than when she was at Danny Zuko. The philanthropy didn't hit home as much as at Jamie Wellerstein or Seymour Krelbourn, but she liked it and, most importantly, met several girls she connected with. She says she just feels at home.

MACK SENNETT: Sis could not have changed her opinion more about a house. She had a hard time making conversation with anyone who rushed her. While she had a great time here when her friend was rushing her during round one, she has started to wonder if maybe she is better off being friends with her friend, not necessarily sisters.

Sis will visit Link Larkin, Melchior Gabor, and Frank Butler tomorrow. Her favorites today were Danny Zuko, Billy Flynn, Christopher Scott, and Harold Hill.

More.... more...
 

I love the detail, it's excellent.... I'm can hardly wait to find out more....:)

Where did you go dramadawg?!?

Go DANNY ZUKO!!!!!!!!! :D:D

An update would be much appreciated. :p

ROUND TWO, DAY TWO
 

Haha, it was a long day at work... but I'm back to post!

LINK LARKIN: Sis really loved this house again today and it is definitely her number two choice. She felt a strong connection to their philanthropy and almost cried during the video! She loved the fun atmosphere here and really loved the girls she talked to.

MELCHIOR GABOR: Sis still liked MG, but not as much as she did during round one. She said the conversations weren't as engaging, but she still could see herself being happy here if she was cut by Link Larkin or Danny Zuko.

FRANK BUTLER: Sis said this group had the most creative philanthropy presentation. She liked this house about the same as round one... she thinks she would fit in here, but doesn't love it like she loves her top few houses.

Sis's personal rankings for round two:

Houses Sis would prefer to attend for 6-party round:
1. Danny Zuko
2. Link Larkin
3. Harold Hill
4, 5, and 6. Billy Flynn, Christopher Scott, and Jamie Wellerstein

Houses Sis would be happy to attend:
7. Melchior Gabor
8. Frank Butler
9. Nathan Detroit

Houses Sis does not think she clicks with:
10. Mack Sennett
11. Seymour Krelbourn

She'll get her invites "tomorrow." Her Rho Chi has warned them that the big cuts happen after round two, so she isn't taking anything for granted... but she's really hoping for invites from at least one of her top three (preferably Danny Zuko!).

Just because I am really enjoying the Hairspray soundtrack ;) - go Link!

ROUND THREE INVITES
 

Sis got her round three invites, and while she knew to expect heavy cuts, she was surprised by how heavy they were both for herself and others in her Rho Chi group. However, she is having a great attitude about it because she knows how lucky she was to have a full schedule for round two, especially her top eleven.

This round, Sis has been invited back to:
Danny Zuko
Harold Hill

She got what she wanted... at least two of her top three... she just wasn't invited back anywhere else. But like she said, "you only need one in the end!" She loves Danny Zuko, but she knows she would be happy at Harold Hill, too. We'll just have to wait and see...

Yay for an update! Awww for your poor sister being cut from 9 groups between rounds... in a live recruitment thread I'd be worrried, but since we know she ends up happy - bring on the drama and the updates!

wow. that is brutal, but she must have the luck of the irish(or someone) to get invited back to two of her faves. go sis!!
