Two UGA Stories at Once
I love doing threads about multiple PNMs at once, because it's great to see how different women view the same chapters on the same campus. I always wait to make sure that the PNMs are happily holding their bids before I begin posting.
In 2010, it was three UGA PNMs with a Weeds theme. In 2011, it was four UGA PNMs with a Muppets theme. In 2012, it was two UGA PNMs with a Live Action Disney theme. In 2013, it was seven UGA PNMs with a 90s Nickelodeon theme. And now I am really running out of themes, so this year's theme is going to be... The Random Movies I See On My Shelf Recruitment Thread. Yes. I know. I apologize for my waning creativity. The 17 chapters at UGA: Now and Then The Wiz Toy Story Camp Nowhere Jawbreaker Rounders White Christmas The Negotiator Dreamgirls Ferngully Dead Poets Society Fear of a Black Hat Die Hard Spellbound The Family Stone You're Next Jurassic Park Choose your favorites! I shall return with a great pair of stories. |

I feel like The Wiz should be a historically black sorority. Dead Poets Society full of prep school WASPs.
|
I'm going for the holiday movies - White Christmas and The Family Stone!
And we'll add Die Hard in there since it could be considered a holiday movie too. |

If they don't both go Jawbreaker they are just dead to me. :D |
Oh I am all about the Jurassic Park! "Hold on to your butts!" perfectly describes recruitment, doesn't it?
|
Dead Poets Society, the one-and-only I've ever seen from that list.

Round One
Here we go!
I'm going house by house and will differentiate my PNMs as A and B. NOW AND THEN A loved this house! Definitely a favorite. B loved this house! Early favorite for her, too. THE WIZ A liked this house. She wants to return to get to know them better. B wouldn't mind returning, but she didn't really feel like she got to know them well enough for them to be in her top 12. TOY STORY A enjoyed the conversations here, but it wouldn't be in her top 12. B also enjoyed the conversations and wouldn't mind returning, but it wouldn't be in her top 12. CAMP NOWHERE A liked it a lot here and hopes to return. B also liked this group a lot and hopes to return to get to know them better. JAWBREAKER A liked this group a lot and wants to return to get to know them better. B LOVED this group and says it is definitely one of her early favorites! ROUNDERS A enjoyed her time here, but didn't feel that this group stood out as much as some of the others. B also had a good time at this house, but did not enjoy this house as much as others. WHITE CHRISTMAS A really liked this group! It is an early favorite for her. B LOVED this group! It is right up there with Jawbreaker for her. THE NEGOTIATOR A really liked this house and definitely wants to return. B had some nice conversations here, but did not feel at home in the way that she did at other houses. More on round one later... I hate to leave mid post, but I misjudged how much time I had to post. Stay tuned for the other round one thoughts! |
Round One, Continued
DREAMGIRLS
A was a little overwhelmed by the energy here. She wasn't sure whether it was for her. B liked this house a lot and enjoyed the conversations here a great deal. FERNGULLY A liked this house and hoped to return to get to know them better. B loved this house! Definitely an early favorite. DEAD POETS SOCIETY A thought these girls were really sweet and fun. She definitely wants to get to know them better. B thought these girls were really nice, but it wasn't a fit like many of the other houses. FEAR OF A BLACK HAT A didn't really feel like this chapter was a fit for her. B liked this chapter and definitely wanted to return. DIE HARD A liked this chapter a lot! Early favorite, for sure. B thought these girls were sweet and wanted to get to know them better. SPELLBOUND A loved this chapter! Definitely a favorite! B definitely liked this chapter and wanted to get to know them better. THE FAMILY STONE A didn't really feel like this chapter was a fit for her. B liked the conversations here and hoped to return to get to know them better. YOU'RE NEXT A liked these girls a lot and definitely wanted to return to get to know them better. B loved this chapter! Early favorite, for sure. JURASSIC PARK A loved this chapter! An early favorite up there with Now and Then, White Christmas, Spellbound, and Die Hard. B loved this chapter! An early favorite up there with Now and Then, Jawbreaker, White Christmas, Ferngully, and You're Next. At the end of round one, each girl had really enjoyed her time spent at each house. They each had a few favorites with some overlap (Jurassic Park, Now and Then, and White Christmas) and some differences. Both were excited and hopeful to attend their top houses for round two. |
You are amazing! How you keep them all straight is beyond me!

Rusty Cundieff, writer and costar of Fear of a Black Hat, is an Alpha.

Hurrah for The Negotiator! After seeing that movie years ago, it inspired a Kevin Spacey film festival where I finally saw Swimming With Sharks and The Usual Suspects. It's not one of his better-known roles but I've been a devout Kevin Spacey fan ever since. (And don't even get me started on "House of Cards"!)

Round Two Invites
A and B were very excited to receive their invites! Both girls received invites to 12 great houses.
I'm going to split them up below based on the houses that both are returning to, A only, and B only. A AND B ARE BOTH RETURNING TO... Now and Then Camp Nowhere Jawbreaker White Christmas Dreamgirls Spellbound You're Next Jurassic Park A IS ALSO RETURNING TO THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS (where B will not be returning)... The Wiz Dead Poets Society The Negotiator Die Hard B IS ALSO RETURNING TO THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS (where A will not be returning)... Ferngully Fear of a Black Hat The Family Stone Rounders The only chapter that neither A nor B will return to for round 2 is Toy Story. |
Round Two
The house by house round two recap:
A AND B CHAPTERS: Now and Then This chapter remains a favorite for both A and B. They find these girls very easy to talk to. Camp Nowhere A and B continue to enjoy talking to these girls. However, they both did not think this chapter would fall into their top 6 when ranking for round two. Regardless, they definitely would not mind returning. Jawbreaker A liked these girls a lot, but she was not sure whether this chapter would fall into her top 6. She would not mind returning at all. B LOVED this chapter. This is definitely one of her top chapters overall. White Christmas A counted this chapter as one of her favorites in round one, but she didn't feel as much of a connection in round two. She wouldn't mind returning, but she also would not put this one in her top 6. B loved this chapter! Definitely a favorite! Dreamgirls A was eager to come back here after feeling a little overwhelmed during round one, and she was glad she did. The conversations were a lot easier and more comfortable. She would place this group in her top 6 now. B really liked this chapter a lot. She would place this chapter in her top 6, for sure. Spellbound A loved this house! This is one of her top chapters. She felt so at home here. B really liked this house. She wouldn't necessarily put it in her top 6, but she definitely wouldn't mind returning. You're Next A thought these girls were really sweet and easy to talk to. She wouldn't place this group in her top 6, but she wouldn't mind coming back, either. B loved this house! This is one of her favorites (along with Jawbreaker and White Christmas). Jurassic Park A loved this chapter! She hopes to return and counts this as one of her top 6. B really liked this chapter and hopes to return, as well. A ONLY CHAPTERS The Wiz A thought these girls were really sweet, but just didn't see herself here. Dead Poets Society Same as The Wiz. The Negotiator A had enjoyed this chapter a lot during round one, but she really felt even more comfortable during round two! She definitely wants to return. Die Hard The chapter continues to be one of A's favorites, due to their carefree, down to earth attitude. B ONLY CHAPTERS Ferngully B really loved this chapter and definitely would like to return. Fear of a Black Hat B thought these girls were easy to talk to and fun, but she didn't think it was as much of a fit as the other chapters she visited. She wouldn't mind going back. The Family Stone Same as Fear of a Black Hat. Rounders Same as The Family Stone and Fear of a Black Hat. After round two, the girls knew they had to select a top 6, but both had several chapters they would like to return to outside of those groups. A's top 6 were (in no particular order): Spellbound, Die Hard, Jurassic Park, Dreamgirls, Now and Then, The Negotiator B's top 6 were (in no particular order): Now and Then, Jawbreaker, White Christmas, You're Next, Dreamgirls, Jurassic Park |
Round Three Invites
Both A and B were happy to received invites to 6 chapters! This is where the stories diverge a bit more, so I will split them up by PNM.
A was invited back to her top 6. In no particular order, they are: Now and Then The Negotiator Dreamgirls Die Hard Spellbound Jurassic Park B was invited back to 6 chapters she liked a lot (including Jawbreaker and You're Next!), but she was sad that they did not include White Christmas, Now and Then, or Spellbound. In no particular order, they are: Jawbreaker Dreamgirls Ferngully Camp Nowhere You're Next Jurassic Park Neither girl is returning to The Wiz, Rounders, White Christmas, Dead Poets Society, Fear of a Black Hat, and The Family Stone. |
How did B go back to Die Hard? I thought she didn't have them in her last round.
I keep reading Dreamgirls and thinking of Showgirls. LOL LOL |

Showgirls would make a hilarious theme for a thread. |
Loving this, and needing to watch a few good movies!

Round Three
DREAMGIRLS
A really likes this chapter. B says that, in the absence of the couple of favorites that were not on her schedule, Dreamgirls has now entered contention for her top houses! JURASSIC PARK A is totally happy here. This is definitely one of her top 3 chapters. She feels totally at home. B also loves it here! This continues to be a chapter where she feels totally at home. NOW AND THEN A loves this chapter! The girls are so welcoming, and the atmosphere is fun, yet relaxed. THE NEGOTIATOR A really likes this chapter. It's not one of her top 3, but she wouldn't mind returning at all. DIE HARD A continues to enjoy how sweet and down to earth these girls are. She wishes she could pick a top 4 to include them in it. SPELLBOUND This chapter rounds out A's top 3 (with Now and Then and Jurassic Park). She feels totally at home here. JAWBREAKER B continues to love it here! This is definitely her #1 at this point. FERNGULLY B really likes this chapter. She would enjoy returning. CAMP NOWHERE Same as Ferngully. YOU'RE NEXT B loves this chapter! She likes the girls' clear sisterhood and easy conversation. At this point, both girls would enjoy returning to any of the six houses they have remaining. However, they have to rank... A Top 3 (in no particular order): Now and Then, Jurassic Park, Spellbound Next 3 (in order): Die Hard, The Negotiator, Dreamgirls B Top 3 (in order): Jawbreaker, You're Next, Jurassic Park Next 3 (in order): Dreamgirls, Ferngully, Camp Nowhere |
Pref Invites
A was ecstatic to receive invites to her top 3:
Now and Then Jurassic Park Spellbound B was happy to receive invites to 3 of her favorites, though surprised that they did not include Jawbreaker or You're Next. She was invited to: Jurassic Park Dreamgirls Ferngully |
Are we going to have two new dinosaurs at the end of this thread??? :D :D

Prefs
A's Prefs
At each house, A was pleased when she was greeted by a member that she already knew! Every chapter seemed to have planned the pref perfectly in order to to showcase all of the things that were important to A! She entered prefs seeing these chapters equally, and she left prefs knowing that she would be happy to pledge any of them, but the order was clear! 1. Jurassic Park 2. Now and Then 3. Spellbound B's Prefs B went into prefs a little stunned because she had been pretty set on Jawbreaker after a great third round there. However, she was happy to return to the three chapters that she had been invited to, and she was so thrilled by the sisterhood that she saw in the special preference events at each house. They were all so wonderful, but she had to rank them, so she did. 1. Jurassic Park 2. Dreamgirls 3. Ferngully And now they just had to wait. |
^^^ and now we have to wait! I'm hoping for Jurassic Park pledge sisters.
|

Haha ... I just remembered that one of our rush themes back when I was an active was "Giraffic Park". The movie Jurassic Park had come out a couple of years earlier (yeah, I'm dating myself here). We had T-shirts with the Jurassic Park theme park logo, but with a skeleton of a giraffe.
