AGDmommy I agree--next year's sophomores for those two chapters will be living in an amazing space!
kcmom it sounds like your daughter is having a great time. Fingers crossed for her that she gets invited back to some houses she really likes. If she thinks the conversations are going well, then at least some of the people she's talking to are bound to think so as well! You're wise to remind her about her sister's experience--deep cuts are the norm now at Mizzou and most girls don't go back to 11 houses. I also know of girls in the last few years who got invited back to 11 for second round, and then had most of the houses cut them for the following round. As long as she has at least one she likes every round, that's good! She only needs one to work
We'll all be waiting to hear about her second round. Thanks for keeping us posted!
