One of my rec girls checked in and things are going really well so far. She had a conflict and missed one of the two first round sets of parties, so only made it to 9 of 18. (It was a school-related absence, and she notified all the houses by email as directed by her advisors.) She was pleasantly surprised to receive 12 invites back for 2nd round, including 3 from houses she did not make it to first stage. She is keeping an open mind, and has about 6 favorites right now. We'll see how many she gets asked back to for 3rd round, she would be excited if she can max out at 7 for that round.
For the 3 who asked her back when she didn't make it to first round parties, for those who are wondering, she had a rec for one and no rec for the other two. She's relieved she had a rec for the one because it's one of her favorites going in. But again, she is keeping a very open mind.
One surprise she had was how easy it was to make conversation - she had thought talking to essentially strangers would be much more awkward, but she said all the girls she met have been really friendly and easy to talk to. She's having a great time so far. I have my fingers crossed for her that she will have a full dance card for 3rd round.
Good luck to all the other daughters and rec girls as well!
