I finally got the text and it had but one word again..........SIX.

I could not be happier and breathed a little sigh of relief. I waited patiently for the text saying who had cut her or if she had her top six back. Finally it came. She was going back to her 5 of her favorite chapters and 1 that she had ranked in the bottom 3. She was fine and enjoying her day.

She was cut by Reveille. Again, she was not really phased by this. She still had a full schedule. She would not be returning to either MSC or Silver Taps which she had ranked in her bottom 3.

I do not remember the order of the parties but here is a summary of each. I got very little information from her today.

Fish Camp continues to improve in her mind. This is the group that I found out she has been hoping for all summer. But recruitment with them has not been what she expected. She just was not clicking with the girls she was matched with. She knew a girl in this house from school sports (rival town)but has not seen her. The skit was cute and she believes she would like to return here. When she ranked today it ended up coming down to this and Olsen Field for the 4th spot.

Muster - She did not have the experience here that she had the first two parties but she still loves them.

Bonfire - Absolutely in love with this chapter the skit was great, but it's still close between Muster and Bonfire. There will be a lot of thinking to do tonight.

Corps of Cadets - Really not clicking with this chapter. One of her roommates is down to 3 chapters and has said she knows she will be in this chapter. Another roommate really likes this chapter but my daughter just hasn't clicked with anyone.

Century Tree - Century Tree had been in her top 9 but fell out of the top 6 after Philanthropy day. However, she didn't mind returning here but still just did not click with these girls. Conversation was forced and a not much in common with them.

Olsen Field- She continues to like this chapter and has a lot in common with these girls. She has been surprised to be invited back to this chapter based on other cuts. This house is another one that has many legacies.

On her way back to rank she called and didn't really know which house to put 3 or 4. Her top 2 have remained the top 2 all week. Olsen Field has been in the top 3 from open house but fell off a little and Fish Camp had really continued to move up maybe from around 6 the first day to 3 or 4 now. I did not give her any opinion, I just told her to look at the girls and see which girls were more like her.

She ended up ranking

1. Bonfire
1. Muster
1. Fish Camp
4. Olsen Field
5. Corps of Cadets
6. Century Tree

I took the my daughter and her roommates Dinner and just hung out with them to keep them calm. My daughter wanted me to spend the night so I did. She talked a lot about whether she liked Muster or Bonfire more. I just listened and tried not to influence her at all. I mentioned things I knew about their Philanthropies and the type of projects each group participates in each year. She finally dozed off.

On Friday morning she got up and continued to be conflicted and I again just pointed out she had to think back upon the week and go with her heart. At that point she was sitting on the floor applying her make up.

She stood up and threw the sign of one of the chapters. In the back of my mind I was praying that she didn't just jinx herself. I dropped the girls off at the MSC in their after five attire at 11 in the morning ready for a day filled with stress.

I'm headed to load the tailgate trailer for Saturday's first home game at the new Kyle Field. I'll finish the story tonight.
