What a long day for all the girls! Socials went from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM, with preferencing afterwards. My daughter was very impressed with the time and effort that went into all of the skits - apparently they are quite elaborate. She said that every house had dancers as part of their skit. Some had slideshows and several had singing. I can't really go into the details as it will be obvious which chapters she visited. Here is what she reported.

Candlelight - the skit was "absolutely mind blowingly perfect," and she talked with a really nice girl who had transferred from another school
Rose Point - she felt really at home and said the skit was hilarious
Francis I - the skit was okay but nothing completely amazing
Chantilly - she said this chapter blew her away today - it was by far the most emotional and many PMs were crying - her opinion of this chapter changed completely from yesterday
Fairfax - hilarious skit, one of the main characters was good enough to be on Broadway
Eloquence - still loves this chapter - skit was great
Grande Baroque - really funny skit, talked with several girls including the president and a vice president
Strasbourg - really made a connection with a member who had also gone through recruitment as a sophomore, wonderful skit
Acorn - skit was okay and she talked with the same girl the whole time
Repousse - skit was absolutely amazing - she is truly worried about getting cut tomorrow as this is her current favorite
Chrysanthemum - skit was okay, had good conversations

PMs can attend a maximum of seven socials tomorrow for philanthropy day. The chapters that my daughter put as her top seven were:
Candlelight
Rose Point
Chantilly
Fairfax
Eloquence
Strasbourg
Respousse

The remaining four she had to rank in the order that they would be bumped up if she does not get all of her top seven. The remaining four, in order, were:
Grande Baroque
Acorn
Chrysanthemum
Francis I

She says she had a very difficult time with preferencing this evening, and would actually be delighted to go back to any of the chapters that weren't in her top seven list. They are adding one more social time slot to the schedule tomorrow to help spread out the large number of PMs. Apparently some of the chapters had 100+ girls attending some events today! Dress tomorrow is recruitment t-shirts and shorts again. Socials start around 9:00 and end around 4:45.
