I know we hate long drawn out stories.


Round 3


I think I was as nervous as she was as the time came to receive her invites for round 3. She texted the #3 and wrote Designated Hitter, 2nd Base, and Catcher. Then a sad face about Center Field.. I texted back with a smiley and said that three wanted her. She was upset but several others around her had big cuts so she said that she was foing to try not to take it personally.

Designated Hitter was first. She just loved Designated Hitter, but shared that she believed she loved the idea of being a Designated Hitter, but it not be where she belongs. Wow, I am glad that she was able to realize this and see through the gossip.


2nd Base was second. She liked this house a bit more, but was having a hard time putting aside the gossip on this one. She enjoyed talking to one of the girls as she was the same major. She gave her hints about one of the classes she is taking and made recommendations for the coming semester. She watched the skit and thought it was a bit goofey. I shared that all skits tend to be goofey.


Catcher: She once again really liked this house and felt that this was where she really belonged. She had good conversations, but was double rushed. She said that she tried to be an active part of the conversation, as she wanted them to get to know her. (As a mom, I wondered what it meant that she was being double rushed. Were they no longer interested in her?)


On her way to voting she called. She was very nervous that she would be dropped by all of the houses. She shared that several of her friends had hard cuts today. One girl on her floor had been dropped by everyone. I once again told her that it only takes one and to wait and see. I knew it was going to be a rough night.


On a side note, she was scheduled to receive her preference invites at 4:00 the next day. She has class (with a quiz) until 4:45. She told her Rho Gammas and they said that they would text her. I advised her to see if she could meet them after class so that she could try to do her best on the quiz and not be watching her phone.
