Jane and Susie adore each other, but are very different. The house that Jane likes best might not be the house her sister is in. I want her to be able to go where where she fits best. Is there anything that she can do or say during Recruitment that will assure the other houses that she is open-minded and doesn't necessarily just want to follow her sister? When she registered for Recruitment, she had to list where she was a Legacy to....so other houses will definitely know.

My younger sister (4 years younger than me) went through the same thing. She did join the same organization as me. I was upset for her (although she never told me she was upset) that she didn't have more choices for pref round. I am not saying I wanted her to join another group but I wanted her to have choices to compare and pick the best one for her. She says it all worked for her. I would just tell Jane to go with her heart. I know several younger sisters who did not join their sisters' organization. And make sure older sister Susie knows to let Jane do her own thing. No matter what they already have a bond that cannot be broken. (not trying to sound cheesy but it is true.)
