"My baby girl is rushing!" -FSUMummy

[FSUMummy]

After Philanthrophy Day 2, My Girl had a bit of a rough time deciding who she liked better. Her number one choice remained the same; she said she felt very comfortable here and the two girls she spoke with were vey nice and the coversation flowed easily.

Top three after Round 2 are:

Eiffel Tower
Orsay Museum
Notre Dame

On Skit Day My Girl was invited back to five houses (out of 7),

• Eiffel Tower: Thought the skit was funny. She was introduced to several girls and got a good "vibe" here.
• Orsay Museum: Nice girls who treated her well. Met President and Vice President and Recruitment Chair.
• Champ-Elysees: She had a very nice conversation here.
• Sorbonne: Pleasant conversation but felt that she didn't "know" the girls here".
• Disneyland Paris: She did feel as though she belonged here. She called the girls "humble". I couldn't get her to elaborate.

Overall, she said that the conversations were less forced and the girls seemed at ease. She was surprised by some of the houses that dropped her but decided to not dwell on it and just enjoy the fact that she had a pretty full day. Two girls from My Girl's group dropped after receiving their party schedules. One dropped after the first party; the other never showed up to the first party. Another girl was upset that her top three dropped her but decided to continue with recruitment when she saw that My Girl had the same houses.

For today's Prefs My Girl had a full schedule!!! Although she really only felt a connection with two of the houses, she was very excited to be invited to three. Most of the girls in her group got invites to two houses. One girl got one invite, and one girl was called earlier and told she had no invites. All the girls had at least one house they were very fond of. No tears during handouts today.

• Eiffel Tower: She said these girls had a beautiful presentation and maintains that this is her "dream house".
• Champ-Elysees: She said she saw that these girls were really there for each other. One told a story of a death she had to deal with and how her sister were there for her. My Girl said it was very moving.
• Sorbonne: She said the party was somber but the girls remained nice. She does not feel she belongs here at all but can see these girls have a real bond between them.

Orsay Museum dropped her. This was my friend's sorority as well as her cousin's. She was disappointed but pleased her number one was still interested. Her new friend who had the same schedule on Skit day has listed #1 and #2 the same as My Girl. They hope to pledge together.

Bid Day tomorrow. I should know by 12:30 what lettered shirts to buy!

Congrats on a great day for your daughter! I hope she ends up in a chapter she loves tomorrow!!! (And congrats to you for surviving recruitment to this point!)

I hope everything works out for your daughter, and her new friend. Hopefully you both are able to get a decent night's sleep with such a big day tomorrow!

FSUMum,

Don't bother buying shirts at this point. You will not believe the number of T's she will collect each year. Buy shorts, laundry bags, pin box, picture frames, etc.

Now that my daughter is a senior, I need to search for the directions for making a quilt out the T's she no longer wears.

Can hardly wait to hear where your daughter's new home will be!

I know you can do a search on the internet and there is a place in Calif. that does it.

Good luck to your daughter! Here's hoping she gets la Tour Eiffel (Which, incidentally, is one of my favorite monuments in Paris. I know the French disliked it when it was first built but I think it looks so graceful, emerging into the skyline all around Paris, and since there's no horrid skyscrapers, you can see it from all parts of the city. Très belle!)

My Girl got a bid to Champ-Elysees!

I don't know any details since she sent me a text. But I think she is pleased since it read as follows...

I'm a XXX!!!!!!!!!!!


When I hear more, I'll report.

What's the protocal for revealing houses? Should I mention all of them or just her prefs?

It would be great if you could give us the run down on all the houses/names

It's your call, but in general it's bad form to say in a post on like, page 3, "I hated XYZ so much. I would never pledge here in a million years" and then reveal them at the end. There wasn't anything too horrible said about any of the chapters, so I doubt people would be up in arms about revealing all of them. I chose to give details in my retro recruitment thread and reveal only 8 of the 14 chapters to protect the good name of a chapter that I just had a bad experience with during recruitment.

Congratulations to your daughter! I can't wait to hear where she pledged.

Congratulations FSU Mom- whichever house your daughter has pledged it should be a wonderful experience for her and for you! Take a deep breath! And a high five to you for sharing, thank you!

Congrats to your daughter! Now, assuming the XXX is symbolic of the number of letters in your daughter's sorority, that leaves us with: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Tri-Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Theta, KKG, Pi Phi, SDT, or ZTA.

Please come back to tell us soon!!!
