Okay, I read somewhere that someone thought that because a house didn't cry at pref, they were not as close sisters as another house that did. Personally, I disagree with this statement because our sisterhood is VERY strong in our house, but we have a "rule" of sorts that we aren't allowed to cry at pref because we don't want it to get too cheesy. Our formal recruitment is not as long as some other schools' (only three parties, and pref is the only one where the girls have invites--everyone goes to the other two); my point in that is that while it might be more appropriate to let the tears flow after getting to know girls better, we feel like here (well, it's an engineering school too
) it is sort of heavy emotion to lay on a person we've only met twice before and don't want them to feel too overwhelmed. It's not a bad thing to cry, the PNMs might, and inevitably one of my sisters will, we just try not to
So my only point is that I would hope people dont automatically equate crying with close sisterhood.
