CuriousWildcat's recruitment story at UK

[CuriousWildcat]

Well I just got back (after a trip to the nonUK bookstore and walking the entire length of the campus in black dress pants carring 15 pounds of books, which in case you were wondering is not a fun task). I am so glad I went to amber, I connected with the 3 girls I talked to in addition to the other 2 I met previously. The last girl I talked to was awesome and we actually talked about how comfortable I was there and how everyone was real. So I really like it there, and I feel good about it, so hopefully I get invited back to pref tomorrow (and get a bid ). Thank you all so much for your encouraging words and energy, I was trying to keep pushing myself to make the best of it and your encouragement really helped!

As someone who was in your same boat (a WAY long time ago though), you have done your best. Good Luck!

Yay! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to find out where you hope you've found your home!

What would be a good way of answering this question w/o sounding rude and not lying or saying "nowhere else?" I agree that you don't want to tell chapters that they are the only place you are going. Maybe something like, "well, I can tell you which house I'm going to today that I like best!" and then talking about how much you like their house???

Nothing wrong with saying it in a way that shows them you are interested:

"I am so excited to be back here at XYZ today!"

"I was so happy when I saw I'd been invited back to XYZ today! I really love everyone I have met!"

"Coming to XYZ each day has been my favorite part of recruitment. I'm so happy to be back today!"
