I spoke to TexasDaughter very briefly just after she completed touring the first six houses early this afternoon. She sounded really happy and was excited about all the groups. I'll wait to give you a synposis of all 12 after she visits the remaining houses this evening and calls me with her impressions. She said all the sisters have been very easy to talk to. I asked her if she had any favorites at this point, and she said at this point she couldn't rule any of them out.

The PNMs are split into 24 groups of 30-31 with two Rho Gammas per group. Two groups of PNMs visit each house at once, so in some houses there are two PNMs for each sister. TexasDaughter has been impressed with how she's met several sisters in each chapter. Everyone is answering her questions and making her feel welcome. The only negative is the temperature. It was over 100 today. She says she can literally feel her makeup melting away whenever they are outside.

One thing surprised me -- TexasDaughter said their Rho Gammas told them they won't get their invitations to the next round until tomorrow morning, right before they visit the houses. Is this standard, or does each school do this differently?

Thanks!
