I have one last girl who was good enough to send me recruitment updates and now that she is past her bid day, I've got one last fall '09 recruitment story for you!
Houses at her school:
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Gamma Delta
Delta Delta Delta
Phi Mu
Zeta Tau Alpha
Names for the houses:
Blair
Nate
Chuck
Dan
Serena
Vanessa
And since there's only 6 houses and not room enough for all of the main characters' names, we'll call the PNM Jenny.
LITTLE J'S RECRUITMENT AT [SMALL PRIVATE COLLEGE]
Prior to recruitment, Jenny had gotten to know lots of Blairs and she was pretty certain that she would end up a Blair. Friends of Jenny's from high school had pledged Blair and Dan at other schools earlier this fall, and she had another high school friend who pledged Nate at another school last year. These connections to these chapters, especially Blair, definitely made them early favorites for her. However, she saw other friends at other schools get burned by pinning all their hopes on specific houses, so Jenny set her mind to... well, keeping an open mind.
DAY ONE
In order, Jenny visited:
Nate: Jenny loved this chapter! She particularly liked that they were wearing her favorite color in addition to the great conversations she had here.
Chuck: Jenny was not a big fan of this chapter; she found the conversations stilted and uncomfortable. If she is able to drop any chapters for day two, she will most likely drop Chuck.
Blair: Jenny was as comfortable at Blair as she knew she would be! They are a close tie with Nate for her favorite, but at this point she would still prefer Blair since she knows girls here already.
Serena: Jenny did not really like or dislike this house. If she is able to drop two chapters for day two, she will drop Serena in addition to Chuck, but she would be totally willing to come back if she was not invited to the 4 she liked best.
Vanessa: Jenny liked Vanessa and thought the house was pretty laid back. She would like to return to get to know them better.
Dan: Jenny like Dan in the same way that she liked Vanessa. She would like to return to get to know them better.
After day one, Jenny ranks the houses:
1/2. Nate/Blair (too soon to tell!)
3/4. Vanessa/Dan
5. Serena
6. Chuck
For day two, she will be able to return to up to 4 houses.
We'll see who she gets invited back to.
