Texas Daughter's Recruitment Thread!

[texasmom]

TexasDaughter received invites to two wonderfull groups today. She was happy to accept invites from both the Chris and Paula groups. The parties started about 6 p.m. and spanned longer lengths of time -- each group performed a skit for the PNMs.

TexasDaughter was impressed with the quality of both skits. She said there was a lot of singing and dancing in both of them and she said the talent was amazing. I won't reveal too much detail about the themes of the skits, but suffice it to say that TexasDaughter appreciated all the sisters' obvious hard work and practice for their performances.

The format of both parties was similar. TexasDaughter met many new sisters in both groups, and tried to make a point of talking to or at least mentioning girls she had visited with previously.. She is leaning slightly toward one of the houses - I won't say which one - but she asked me not to reveal her preference.

As y'all can tell by reading the posts, it's been a long and gruelling week for her. But she is happy -- as her mom, I can already hear a new maturity in her voice. She's putting herself out there -- not an easy thing for her. My little chickie has had to grow up quite a bit this week, and that process is not always pretty, nor does it always have a fairy tale ending. Regardless of whether or not TexasDaughter is fortunate enough to become a part of one of the wonderful, special sisterhoods at A&M, this has been an amazing, amazing time. She told me tonight that regardless of the outcome, she does not regret the experience.

So, Pref Night is tomorrow. Obviously, TexasDaughter is hoping for a repeat of tonight's invitations. She is genuinely curious about Pref Night as she has heard so much from reading this forum and talking to alumane, and hopes she is lucky enough to be included. The PNMs will be allowed to pref two GLOs. Incidentally, tonight TexasDaughter said they were allowed to rank only the houses they visited today, unlike previous days when they had to rank a top six or a top 9.

Thanks for all your support. It means a great deal to both TexasDaughter and me.

DEFINITELY a Texan, haha. I'm glad she's enjoying herself and I can't wait to hear how things turn out for her! I have several friend who went through rush at A&M last, all of whom ended up in different houses and all of whom LOVE them!

Good luck to TexasDaughter, you must be very proud of her! I hope tomorrow brings more good news - and that you sleep well tonight.

It only takes one! I am so proud of your daughter...

Fingers crossed for two pref invites!

It brought tears to my eyes as you wrote about how proud you are of your daughter. Like BamaDad's and Southyankee's posts, it's so clear how your attitude and perspective are being passed down and carried on by your daughter. That's probably why they wind up in a happy ending place. These threads should be required reading for every PNM. Maybe one of the mods can post a "required reading" thread that directs PNM's to all the great how-to-do-it-right recruitment stories.

Good luck and I am so hoping she gets her pref invites!
