I am going to tell the recruitment story of the girl I will call Rebbie.

Background: Rebbie was in day care with Hypo when they were 2. At age 3 1/2, their day care closed and they went their separate ways. On the first day of kindergarten, Hypo came home and informed me that Rebbie was in her class. They were very close friends until sometime in middle school. At that time, Hypo realized that Rebbie did everything she did, liked everything she liked. It irked Hypo. Rebbie never left Hypo's side and was trying to be exactly like her. Hypo started to separate herself from Rebbie but they still hung out in the same "crowd". Hypo observed that Rebbie has no personality of her own, doesn't know who she is and essentially becomes whoever she is hanging out with most. Rebbie and Janet, the other PNM are roommates, but were in different Rho Gam groups.

Rebbie's cuts were harsh. For second rounds, she was invited back to:
Diana Ross- This was her least favorite group. I believe the words were "I hate them"
Marvin Gaye- This was Janet's favorite group, therefore, it was also Rebbie's favorite group
The Four Tops- She felt neutral about this group. She liked them, but not as much as she liked Marvin Gaye.

They received third round invitations tonight and Rebbie was only invited back to Diana Ross . She has decided to drop out of recruitment.

This will make for interesting dynamics because Janet is still going through recruitment and is having a more successful experience so far. They are high school friends and roommates (which most predicted would be a disaster in the long run).

So, recruitment is over for Rebbie. I will post Janet's story when she is finished .. hopefully with a happy ending.
