Oh good, I was worried that we might not be sharing love for ALL the Big XII schools in Texas (although I could TOTALLY do without those guys South East of BU!!!) I have a UT sweatshirt actually. My crazy grandmother who lives in California bought it for me at a thrift store because it said "Texas." It was also in burnt orange. She was so excited about it though so I had to act thrilled. I wear it all the time though, it's fun to see the looks I get. Speaking of funny looks about Texas here in Montreal, this guy was trying to pass me on a motorcycle yesterday and he was looking at my front license plate (texas tags!) and the car in front of him stopped. He looked up just in time, slammed on the brakes/whatever but he still hit the car. He was completely ok but I about died laughing at him.

No love for Brazos county? What a bummer.

I grew up in Bexar county and now live in Travis county.

Good luck to your sister.

hahaha amen to that! but let's not even get the not-so-rivalry started, that's not for another 2 weeks!

Well, Sandy told me yesterday that they had a fall recruitment round (at Baylor we called it Fall Parties) like an open house type deal. Her initial reactions are as follows:

Harris: Absolute favorite, says the girls are amazing and she LOVES them. Loves everything about them.
Travis: (one she's a legacy to) Also loves this house...always good to be a legacy to a house you love. She has a lot of friends here who are upperclassmen and feels like she would fit in here just as well as Harris.
McLennan This is the only house she has a rec for and as I said before her cousin is a member. Her initial response, from what she'd seen on campus and from her cousin was very good, however she doesn't feel as comfortable here as in Harris and Travis. She liked all the girls a lot, but didn't feel like they were as interested in her as her top 2. I think she is still open to this house though.
Bexar, Tarrant, and Live Oak: She said the same thing about these three. Very nice girls, seem like they have a lot to offer, but doesn't fit in as well with them as the others.

I can't wait!! We're going shopping and going through some "coaching" when I get back to Texas for Christmas. YAH HOO!

She doesn't have a rec to her legacy chapter?!? She only has a rec to one GLO on campus? I guess my Ole Miss roots are showing, but YIKES!

They are ADPiZXalum didn't specify exactly where the chaper was except for in the "East" and there are schools, primarily in the Northeast, where recs are virtually unheard of. I have friends at schools in CT and NY where they'll only get two or three recs out of 500 PNMs, most of these were from legacies. I could see how that, if ADPi's lil sis's legacy connection were deceased that she wouldn't feel comfortable contacting an alumnae association for a rec. That could be looked at as "weird" at some schools, as in, "why is this random alum writing a rec for someone she doesn't personally know?" At a lot of northern schools, having a strong personal connection (friend, relative) for recommendations is highly emphasized.

Now that I've recovered from the "vay-puhs" brought on by learning of ADPiZXalum's little sister's rec situation, I was able to comprehend your most plausible explanation, AChiOSnap. How's that for some Ole Miss roots?

Alrighty then, so Sandy was invited to all 6 sororities but could only go back to five so she cut LIve Oak. When I talked to her today, she had gone to three, Harris, Travis, and Tarrant. She still LOVES Harris and Travis and was pleasantly surprised by Tarrant. She didn't know much about them before except what I had told her and of course that's just from Baylor, so it's going to be different. Anyway, she was going to McLennan and Bexar later this evening. More when I know more!

Good luck to your little sister!

(Is it bad to pull for McLennan when I know it's just a code name?)

Not at all!!! So she went to McLennan and Bexar yesterday evening and says she's confused because she loves them all!! I told her that was a good position to be in!

OH my goodness!! They had pref tonight and I have not heard from her since last Tuesday!!!!! I'm dying of curiosity. Ahhhhhhhhh!! I have no idea who invited her back to skit, who she cut, who she preffed, NADA! Sorry I'm about to go crazy here!

[Stef the Pef]

Awwwww...*crosses fingers for ZXAlum*

Good luck ZXSister!!!

Ok, so I got an instant message from Sandy, and ended up having to call her about midnight last night. She was invited back to McLennan, Travis, Bexar, and Harriss for skit. She ended up cutting Bexar. She said that McLennan, Travis, and Harris all had amazing rounds. She was invited back to McLennan, Travis, and Harris for pref (she never once got cut....she had to do all the cutting). She ended up preffing Travis and Harris. Can't wait to see what happens this afternoon!!!
