My daughter and I went out to dinner tonight and talked at length about the chapters she visited today and what tomorrow might hold. She had an easier time preferencing after the socials today, and we discussed the best and worse case scenarios for preference round and bid day.

I can't go into very much detail about philanthropy day, except to say that it seemed to consist mostly of house tours and short skits. Every chapter did something very creative and different, but I don't want to give it away for those who might recognize what chapters I'm describing. So here is what I can share about today's socials:

Candlelight - at this point she says this is her favorite chapter - she has repeatedly said that they don't do anything halfway, and everything is so impressive and well planned, plus she's had great conversations all along with the girls

Eloquence - second favorite chapter - again, very organized and creative, lots of energy and very friendly, beautiful chapter house

Strasbourg - third favorite chapter - she really hadn't expected to fall in love with this chapter but says she could really see herself here - she says she has felt like each girl she has met could become a best friend

Grande Baroque - fourth favorite (and one remaining legacy chapter) - always describes them as so fun and friendly, creative, energetic and outgoing - this is another chapter she hadn't expected to fall in love with

Acorn - fifth favorite - says the girls are really friendly and the house is beautiful, she could definitely see herself being happy here

Chrysanthemum - sixth favorite - this is the only chapter she really has reservations about, and we have discussed at length that many girls feel lukewarm about their new chapter at the beginning and end up loving it

So the chapters that are fourth, fifth, and sixth are the ones that she could potentially drop if she gets to go back to her top three tomorrow. She said that if she gets asked back to even one of her top three she will be thrilled. Of course, there is still the possibility that she could be released, or only get one or two invitations. We will find out tomorrow morning (Friday) around 9:00.
