And yea I'm really involved with the arts and I've used that for volunteer work, so that's one way for me to stand out. I hope you guys realize that most of the advice you all mentioned were things I'm already aware of; I didn't just decided yesterday that I will rush. But thanks for the reminders anyway. I do plan to keep an open mind about all the houses as I am aware that my first choice will probably change after I visit each house in person.

P.S to the ppost above, I really don't see how I come across as having a "less than delightful" demeanor?
P.P.S How does "tent talk" that I hear actually affect me?

How do you come across as having a less than delightful demeanor? You did it again in your second post. "ok, there" "I hope you guys realize," etc.

Do you realize that you're on a message board with women that know more than you, and that you asked their advice?

It doesn't matter if they were your words. You repeated them and made them yours.

Your comment about NPHC is an example of how tent talk can affect you. You've made assumptions based on what another girl told you. The tent talk comment was made I'm sure to give you a word of caution and to remind you to not let other PNM's impressions sway you.
