I agree - truly, this has to be the most moving intro to a Recruitment thread I've ever read! Your daughter has gone through so much, at such an early age, I can only pray that she gets a bid to her first choice!

Many *hugs* to both of you!

Thank you so much for your kind words! My daughter is an amazing woman and I couldn't love her more!
As we wait for tonight (Bid Night), I thought I'd give you her rundown on the houses:
Kayne: This was the first house she visited and she loved it! The women were warm and friendly, and she felt like the time flew by. She was excited to go back to this house.
Laura: She was not very excited about this group. She said they were nice, but she didn't feel like the conversations flowed well. Others in her Pi Chi group really liked this group, but she walked away with a not-so-positive vibe.
Angela:The word she used to describe this group was "cute." Everything was cute... the women, the house, the conversations, etc. She had a great time there!
Vincent: To be honest, she didn't have high expectations for this house (Lord knows why, as they are terrific), but she had an AMAZING time here! She adored the women she spoke with and she loved everything about them! At the end of the day, she ranked them #1!
Allison: She felt this group was a little disinterested in her. She said that the woman who rushed her barely said anything (probably first time nerves). She is keeping an open mind about them, though.
Jeffrey: It seems that this house is a favorite among all the pmn's. She had very high hopes for this house, but she left very disappointed. She didn't go into detail, but she said this house was definitely not for her.
Uli:She loved, loved, loved this house!!! She couldn't wait to go back and chat some more with the sisters!
Robert: She had a great time here! She said the conversations were different (they asked great questions) and she loved the way the sisters complemented eachother. She was excited about this house!
Michael:This was another house that she absolutely adored!! She said she felt "at home" right away... and she hopes the sisters feel the same way about her!
Bradley:The women here were "super cute" and she had a nice time. A very positive experience.
Keith:Very sweet women here. She said the sisterhood felt very strong and that was a big plus in her book.
Malan: She had a lot of fun here, but she felt she didn't "shine" as much here because she was getting tired. But she really liked this house and was anxious to go back.
Chloe: She said she got a second wind here, because the women were so nice. She really liked them and she said they had "something special."
Santino: She felt a little overwhelmed here... she said there were two to three women for each pmn. She said they were nice, but if she had to cut a group, she would cut them.
Daniel V.: She felt like she didn't "give her all" to this group, but they were nice.
Tim Gunn: She really loved this group... great women and great conversations!

For the Philanthropy round, she returned to 11 houses and had an amazing time! She did NOT go back to Jeffrey, Laura, Allison, Santino and Daniel V.

She said the next round of cuts were very tough, and she was a little disappointed at some of the cuts she got. But, she received a full party list for the Video round! She returned to the following houses for Videos:
Bradley
Tim Gunn
Kayne
Vincent
Michael
Chloe
Uli

She said that she loved them all and had a very hard time chosing where she wanted to Pref. She knew she loved Vincent and Michael... but she also adored Kayne, Uli and Tim Gunn. In the end, she said that God was smiling over her, because she was invited to Pref at the following houses:
Vincent
Michael
Uli

She cried at each pref ceremony and would be happy at any of these houses. She didn't want to say which house she hoped for the most, but I get a feeling that it's Vincent. I would love to see her wherever she is happiest! I guess we'll find out tonight!!

Thanks for listening to our (very long) story. I'll keep you posted as soon as I know anything! And for those of you who are rooting for Kappa... it's still a distinct possibility!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your daughter finds her home. (And of course, I'd love to see a happy Kappa ending! )

You are a wonderful mother, and reading this rush thread made me tear up. Thank God for wonderful women like you!
