Thank you! Glad you're liking it. I know it's long. Believe it or not I did edit, but like I said - this was more about the journey than the recruitment and kind of what she and I both learned through it, so...it was hard to cut out too many details. Two more entries after this one and I'm done - I'll post them pretty fast.
******
Sunday - I got a call about 11 (actually during a Sunday school class). “I got back Root Beer Floats, Donuts and Brownies.” I figured that since she had lost Chocolate Cake, she would be completely discouraged and ready to quit again. I asked if she was okay. She seemed annoyed I would ask. “Well of course mom, I still have Root Beer Floats. They’re my favorite and I can’t believe I still have them, and I like Donuts too. Why wouldn’t I be okay – I feel really good about it!” I was done trying to figure her out.
Sunday was house tours.

Root beer floats – She loved the house. It was huge, and she could totally see herself living there. She liked that there was a sleeping porch, but also double and single rooms. She loved the girls. Hadn’t met one she didn’t feel connected with yet. There was not one thing on any day she didn’t love about this chapter.

Donuts – Their house is my personal favorite on the outside. I think it fits the campus culture perfectly. She liked some things about the house, but didn’t like the fact that everyone but the president slept on a sleeping porch. It wasn’t a deal breaker though - she had a good overall impression of the chapter and felt she could be happy there.

Brownies – Outside this house is pretty – very English cottage looking. Inside she thought it had the most potential. It was old and had some unique rooms, but she didn’t feel they had done much with them, and she thought it was in need of a remodel. (which I believe they have done at this point) Actually she spent most of the tour playing interior designer in her head and thinking how the rooms could be redone. She had kept a pretty open mind this time, and she did understand and appreciate that they didn’t have to invite her back and did – so she assured me she made as much effort here as she had at every other chapter, but taken as a whole, she just wasn’t feeling this one. She wanted to join a sorority but not at all costs and after her last year, she felt confident that while she would be disappointed if she didn’t find a home – life would go on, and she would have other things. Given that, she had started thinking that she wouldn’t feel comfortable accepting a bid to this chapter.
