That's pretty good for UGA! And you still have Janet Weiss and Dolly Levi!

Maybe they were worried what her daddy would do if they didn't take his little Meadow Soprano!

I'm so glad someone else thought that, too, when they heard "waste management"!

I'm really enjoying the thread, and am so excited that it's a school with a Gamma Phi!

And I agree with JessSigKap, 9/12 at UGA sounds good to me!

Oh, and an interesting note I have to make for any UGA PNMs who may be reading my thread: I got asked back to 9 out of 18 houses (12 possible) for round two and that's not all that bad at all, especially since I still had most of my round one favorites. BUT I got cut by every house at which I had not secured a rec prior to recruitment. I went in clueless and had no idea, but for the millionth time that it's been posted on GC, you've got to have recs if you are going to UGA.

Did you rank after each round and get a schedule generated for you or did you get your invites in between rounds and then decide where you want to go if you were invited by more chapters than the number of parties for the next round?

At UGA, it's "mutual selection," meaning that the girls rank the chapters and the chapters make selections and the girls receive a schedule based on the results thereof. I don't remember whether we had to attend all of the parties on our schedules after round one (I did anyway; I thought it was just rude not to go). I think the idea is that if a girl gets invited to, for instance, 8 parties and can only attend 6, she will want to attend the houses she ranked highest that have invited her back. The best part of this system for me was that it eliminated time back at the dorm with girls telling me what I ought to do... since I didn't know a lot about rush I was very impressionable and they might have convinced me to make decisions differently than I did.

(Round two was actually two days long, but I didn't divide them in my notes into the two days and I certainly don't remember anymore, so I am going to go ahead and pretend both days of round two have passed.)

MARGO CHANNING: This was my first house of the day and I love it! I met two girls named Ellie and Nat and they were so awesome and talkative... really easy to talk to, like old friends. They did a Grease skit that was really cute and everyone seemed nice like they did in round one, really genuine. I definitely feel like I fit in with the girls I met today.

RENO SWEENEY: Truth be told, I didn't really want to come back here, but I am glad I did because they seemed a lot less intimidating today. Their skit had lots of inside jokes, but they all seemed in on it so it seemed like they had a cool sisterhood. I don't know that this house is one that I can "see" myself in, but I wouldn't mind going back to meet more people and get to know them better.

JANET WEISS: Their skit was kind of strange... it didn't make very much sense. Maybe if I end up here I can write them a script next year. I didn't see the girl I talked to yesterday and I didn't really "connect" with anyone I spoke with today. The girls on my hall say this is a "good house."

BABE WILLIAMS: They did a funny Alice in Wonderland skit and everyone seemed so sweet again! I really like them.

DOLLY LEVI: Their skit was outside and it was hard to hear, but they served great food, so that made up for it! I got to talk to one of the same girls from before. I don't feel quite as "at home" here as I do at Margo Channing or Babe Williams, but I like it.

KATE MONSTER: They did a pageant skit, which was cute. I just feel awkward here. One of my friends from high school has a sister who is in the chapter and it is her first choice. I can see why she likes it, but I just don't feel like I fit in.

CORA HOOPER: One girl talked to three of us again. Their skit was kind of funny, but the conversation was so awkward afterward. I don't think I could pledge here.

MAGNOLIA HAWKINS: This one was not as great as Margo Channing today but it is still a close second! They did a Grease skit, too... I wonder if it is a sign that my top two houses did Broadway skits?!? I didn't get to talk to the same girls, but the new ones were just as nice. I could see myself here.

ANNIE OAKLEY: A lot of girls in my rush group got cut here and they were really upset. The girls on my hall all thought it was so cool that I got asked back here, so I feel like I am supposed to love it here, but I just don't see anything that stands out about this group. They had inside jokes in the skit and the girl sitting with me kept having to explain them to me, but only some of the sisters laughed at them (unlike the jokes in the Reno Sweeney skit). I think I would have to change a lot about myself to be happy here.

At this point, I think I have three groups of houses: the ones I could definitely see myself pledging (Margo, Magnolia, and Babe), the ones I really want to get to know better (Dolly, Reno, and Janet), and the ones I definitely can't see myself in (Annie, Kate, and Cora). For round three I can attend up to six parties. I am very nervous about what my party schedule will look like for round three after all the cuts after round one.
ROUND TWO RANKINGS:
1. Margo Channing
2. Magnolia Hawkins
3. Babe Williams
4. Dolly Levi
5. Reno Sweeney
6. Janet Weiss
7. Annie Oakley
8. Kate Monster
9. Cora Hooper
