^^^ Hahaha! And it happened more than 30 years ago too! What is it they say--"the more things change, the more they stay the same"?
What you said about 'and while they were under the table...." would be referring to half the girls in the next dorm over.

Final Day 2 Update
Just finished our Skype call with Emma.
She seemed mentally exhausted after two days of recruitment.
Prioritizing her choices was difficult because she didn't really feel like she disliked any of them. She mentioned the fact that each of the groups had such similar chapter rooms and they all wore very similar style shirts, and this made it more difficult to remember each group. To help, she just started writing down a numerical ranking between 1 -10 as soon as she left each party. Today, her favorite group received a 9 and her least favorite group rated a 5.
She also mentioned that if she didn't get invited back to the Diamondbacks she would be disappointed, but would still feel good about most of the others.
She told me that she would text me after she meets with her Pi Chi in the morning.
When I hear from her, I'll try to get you an update.

Are the Orioles still in the running? The O's have to win somewhere right...?
Cheers to another good day for Emma!

I also am happy to report that "Cassie" has a full list of 12, All of her top 12 asked her back, although I think she probably is 2nd guessing a couple of her decisions.
I will also update later.

Woohoo! for Emma. AuburnDad, it's quite enjoyable to read your perspective. From what you've written, Emma sounds like she's got a great attitude and it shows in her invites. Impressive. Keep us updated when you can. Best of luck to Emma (and to every other Auburn PNM, of course).
(just saw Cassie's news, woohoo! for her too!!!)
I know I should root for the Diamondbacks, but I'm a diehard Giants fan

I am really thrilled for both young ladies going through recruitment right now. They are not even my daughters and I felt a deep relief that they both are feeling great up to this point. Whoo Hoo!

Congrats Emma and Cassie! I'm waiting to hear from "Suzie", but since I'm in a different time zone I usually speak to her at the end of the day.....

Update
Here at the 12 groups that Emma will be visiting today and tomorrow for the Philanthropy round. Other than the Diamondbacks, these are in no particular order of preference.
Diamondbacks
Blue Jays
Angels
Reds
Cubs
Giants
Pirates
Rays
Astros
Dodgers
Orioles
Cardinals
She will have lunch break, so I may hear from her then. She had some interesting insight on the impact of having or not having a rec letter which I will probably share later on tonight.
Carnation, with the next round of cuts, are the PNM's selections "true cuts", or like the first round, do you list all of the groups and then if you don't get your top 7, one or more of the others move up to replace those spots?
