[Bluebonnet Mom]

Here I am with another update. Round 2 parties (philanthropy day) had a maximum of 8 invitations back. Daughter got 7 back, and she was very relieved! Apparently some of the girls were cut very hard, and many had much less than a full schedule. Daughter said the scary part was that the girls who got cut for the most part looked just as pretty, polished, and well dressed as everyone else. She couldn't figure it out. She said it was pretty awful to see some girls burst into tears this early into the week. She was invited to the following:

Lady Bird
Cowgirl
Magnolia
Chili
Stagecoach
Pecan
Chaps

From her original list of 8, she was cut from Brazos and Mustang – which was fine because they weren’t at the top of her list. She was also glad to see she did not have to go back to Canyon. This is how her day went:

Lady Bird – Still a very impressive group of girls. She got to meet some more of the members and really likes them. She has heard from the other pnm’s that this is a house many girls favor, so it will not be easy to get into. Daughter wants very much to return.

Cowgirl – Everything went very well at this visit, although she liked it better here yesterday because of the rusher she had. The members seem to really get along well here, she doesn’t think they seem to be the backstabbing type - and she would definitely return.

Chili – She loved the project that they did at this house, and their philanthropy is one she’s very fond of. She got along here fine, but they’re more the middle of the pack for her.

Pecan – This house really zoomed up on her list. She met so many girls here today and got along so well with all of them. This is one of her favorites. She sounded so excited talking about them.

Magnolia – Another great house. She thinks these girls are so much fun to be around. They’re also seem to be a pretty athletic group of girls, which my daughter definitely is. She could really see herself in this house!

Chaps – She sees these girls as the “golden ones.” They are all so sweet, but she can definitely see that these are pretty high maintenance girls. She feels it would take too much to try to keep up with them. She doesn’t really want to change herself, and thinks this is probably a long shot at best.

Stagecoach – Daughter went in today with an open mind. She’s trying to give them a chance, but when it was all over, this house just isn’t doing it for her.

This is the list of five in random order she’d like to return to:

Chili
Pecan
Lady Bird
Magnolia
Cowgirls

She ranked the following at the bottom:

1. Chaps
2. Stagecoach

A very long, very exhausting day that didn’t end until past 10:30. Round three will have a maximum of 5 parties to attend. Maybe her luck can hold out.
