Time to let the cat out of the bag!
Alabama rush started today, and my daughter is a part of it. I know alot of GCers probably already guessed as much, but I was trying desperately to be somewhat discreet.
Anyways, update...we moved her in on Sunday. I had almost forgotten how small a dorm room was and we ended up taking some stuff back home as it just wouldn't fit! After some creative rearranging, we managed to settled her into her room, and amidst alot of tears...left her to start a new chapter in her life!
Her and her roommate, (who is also going through rush) spent the next day getting settled, and taking care of a few things around campus before heading off to convocation. They met their recruitment advisors and their pnm groups. As someone said in an Auburn rush thread...girls came dressed to the nines, in heels and sundresses, full make-up and hair. It was a late night, and my daughter and roommate were exhausted and understandably stressed. They met today at 10am to start open house.
Here's how it went...
She visited 8 houses,
Falcons-was surprised that she liked this house as much as she did, as she knew nothing about it before today. Had a great convo with 2 of the girls and would love to revisit.
Browns-liked this house very much also, but not sure she would fit in there...would love to go back for round 2 to find out more
Texans-didn't feel much of a connection with these girls...but will continue to have an open mind.
Packers-liked this one alot, but knows several girls in this sorority and I think that has something to do with it
Patriots-also liked this one alot
Giants-ditto, liked this one too
Steelers-really liked this one, but only had a convo with one girl, who she knew somewhat, so convo was easy, would like to get a feel of the sorority as a whole
Cowboys-Didn't really feel a connection with this one, even though everyone was nice and convo was easy...couldn't put her finger on why it was not one of her favorites, but is very willing to go back and see what happens
Was very pleased that she liked so many and is looking forward to tomorrow when she will visit: Cardinals, Bengals, Panthers, Broncos, Colts, and Vikings.
They got caught in a thunderstorm today, hopefully tomorrow will be sunny!
P.S. roommate had a great time to.
