She said, "What qualities do you have that would contribute to XXX?" Talk about being gob-smacked!!! Luckily, we were in the line walking out by this point, but I found myself spurting things from my resume..."I have really great grades, I was involved in this, this, and this." In my mind, though, I was thinking, "Aren't you supposed to be rushing ME???" Talk about having something to think about now...now I know that it is a mutual selection process, but I had submitted my application and had come to pre-recruitment events and everything...didn't they already know what I had to offer???? Those were my thoughts at the time.

Again, dinner with my Rho Chi (who by the way was so fabulous!!! we totally clicked!)

Back to the dorms to think about what to do...I thought I knew who my top 2 were before this day! Now one of them had thrown me for a loop! Turns out, they had asked everyone this question, and it had turned a lot of people off...what to do, what to do???

How funny! I guess they forgot they hadn't asked you and had to get it in before you walked out the door! It's not a bad question, but sounds like it did turn people off.
