Yay for shoes!

I am rooting for Tory Burch.

Even though DG is not included, could you tell us what you thought of their presentation when you share about round one?

I have been planning for this week for a year. I am so excited that it is finally happening. BTW I have multiple recs for all houses except one I only had one for that house. My HS GPA is over 3.9. This is what I have heard about the houses.
BETTYE MULLER
Heard that this is a very strong chapter with many beauty queens and the highest GPA. I know one girl that pledged hear last year.
CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN
I have heard good things about this chapter from friends and I know that they had a great advisor!
EMMA HOPE
Heard that this is a very strong chapter, doesn’t take OOS, or girls outside of their social stratum.
FOOTCANDY
I have heard almost nothing about this chapter.
HUNTER
I have very little knowledge about this chapter. A few girls from HS pledged here and based on that I am not interested.
JIMMY CHOO
Heard that this is a very strong chapter with many great girls. A friend pledged here last year.
KATE SPADE
Heard that this is a very strong chapter with many great girls. I know a few from HS that have pledged here. I have never heard anything bad about them.
LOEFFLER RANDALL
I know a few girls from HS that pledged here and ones at other campuses.
MANOLO BLAHNIK
I have no knowledge about this chapter.
PACIOTTI
I have very little knowledge about this chapter.
PATRICIA GREEN
Heard that this is a very strong chapter.
SIGERSON MORRISON
My strongest rec of all is for this chapter from an Ole Miss alum.
TORY BURCH
Heard that this is a strong chapter with many great girls. I know a couple from HS.
VALENTINO
I know a couple of girls from HS that pledged here and have heard great thing about this chapter.

I could've only done a shoe recruitment at a very small school. My daughters inform me that the only choices I'd be able to think of would be Frye boots, Nike, and Sperry.

Carry on, Cheerflyer! This sounds like a good one!

Day 1
EMMA HOPE
This is my first stop today. While waiting to go in a girl in my group kept talking about how she was a legacy and should get a bid from them. Once we went in I was very nervous and had a hard time keeping conversations moving along. All of the girls are so put together. If this is how rush is going to be I will be a complete failure.
FOOTCANDY
This is my second house today and I am still very nervous. I liked all of the girls who rushed me. They were funny and nice. Most seemed to know something about me and they made me feel comfortable. I liked this house and hope to be invited back.
BETTYE MULLER
While waiting to go in there was a lot of talk from girls in my group about this house. OMG I didn’t know this many gorgeous girls were together outside of Hollywood! They were all so nice and seemed to know all about me. The conversation was easy. I liked this house a lot!
KATE SPADE
Again there was lots of talk in my group about this house. Everything I had heard before seems to be true. What a great group of girls. Conversation was so easy I was matched with girls in my major. This could be my new home! I loved it here and did not want to leave. I just had a great feeling about them. I hope they liked me too.
HUNTER
Lots of talk while waiting to go inside. I had a hard time staying silent since so much talk lined up with my thoughts of girls I know in this house. Well sometimes you just know in advance. These girls are the same as they were in HS. I will not return to this house!
PATRICIA GREEN
Everyone here seemed nice but after awkward conversations I had zero connections with anyone. I didn’t feel like I could be myself. Strictly on reputation if I get an invite back I‘ll give it another try.
PACIOTTI
The first girl I talked with didn’t seem to be interested in me or know anything about me. The next 2 girls I spoke with were very sweet and easy to talk with. I like it here and hope to come back.

dgdramadawg has asked that I comment on the Delta Gamma presentation so here goes.
The DG presentation was very polished. It was clear that they have had a long legacy at the Capstone, I know 2 from the seventies. I had already seen the pictures of their new house here on GC. OMG is it beautiful or what. Back to the presentation I think that many rushees that didn’t get their top choice may have dropped thinking about DG. Based on what I saw any rushee here at Bama would be proud to be a Delta Gamma.

Thanks for sharing! I was curious to hear a PNM's perspective beyond what the gals in my rec group told me.

Hunter sounds awful. I'm glad I wasn't rooting for them.

If you only knew how these girls were in HS
I know people can change but I don't think this is the case.

Day 2

SIGERSON MORRISON
The girls I met today were very nice and we had a good conversation but I didn’t feel any connection.
TORY BURCH
Easy conversation with everyone I met. Very sweet girls, I hope to be invited back.
MANOLO BLAHNIK
I am really getting tired of all of this negative talk while waiting to go into some of these houses. The girls here were very nice to me. Several knew a lot about me and we had great conversations but it just didn’t seem to click for me.
VINCE CAMUTO
Didn’t get to see the girls I knew here today but had a good time and good conversations. I think that I really connected with one of them.
LOEFFLER RANDALL
I saw some of the girls I know but didn’t get to talk with any of them. Good conversation some hard laughing. I like them and hope to come back.
JIMMY CHOO
I only saw my friend from across the room but I had a great time and good conversations with the girls I felt several connections being made. Best time of the day, they all made me so very comfortable. Do I have to leave?
VALENTINO
I didn’t see the girls I know that are in this chapter. The ones I met were very nice and sweet. The conversations were easy and I think that I connected with one of them.
CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN
All the girls I met were so nice and all knew something about me. We had a nice conversation but I didn’t feel any connection.

The last two days have been brutal, my feet hurt and I am so tired.

My ranking after the first round are:
1 JIMMY CHOO and KATE SPADE
3 BETTYE MULLER
4 TORY BURCH
5 FOOTCANDY
6 VALENTINO
7 VINCE CAMUTO
8 EMMA HOPE
9 PACIOTTI
10 LOEFFLER RANDALL
11 CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN
12 PATRICIA GREEN
13 SIGERSON MORRISON
14 MANOLO BLAHNIK
15 HUNTER

Loving your story so far. Short, sweet, and to the point

Cheerflyer · #11 08-22-2011, 08:18 AM

I was expecting cuts but this many this early caught me off guard I only have 10 houses for the second round. I know that’s better than many others still . . . On the positive side I have all of my top five so I am very blessed.

Today all of the houses were telling us about their philanthropy.

Day 3
TORY BURCH
I just couldn’t get excited about their philanthropy. Again very nice girls rushed me and I connected well with one. Still I had fun here today. I’m hoping for a third invitation.
FOOTCANDY
I didn’t seem to connect with the girls here today the way I did on Sunday. They were all still very nice. If I get invited back I’ll be happy to come, although they have dropped down my list.
BETTYE MULLER
Again I was matched with girls who knew a lot about me and two were in my major. I liked their philanthropy and their house is really pretty. I had fun talking with the girls I met. I really want to come back for the third round. Invite please!
VALENTINO
Again I had trouble connecting with a philanthropy. Talked with the girls I knew here today and it was a lot of fun but no strong connections. I hope to be invited back to get to know them better.
VINCE CAMUTO
I love their philanthropy, I was active in it in HS. The girls rushing me today were great and I connected with them.
JIMMY CHOO
What a great philanthropy. I had so much fun with the girls here today. I think I found my home, but what about Kate Spade? Can I just stay here and spend the night or at least a nap. I love it here!
