Round One Photos
Just found the first photos of Round One. This website posts photos of each day, mainly the PNMs waiting in the morning for the buses to take them to Milledge Ave. It's fun to see what they are all wearing...

Now Tornadoes????
Just got a text from Daughter that she had to 'duck and cover' at the Lilies, because the tornado siren had gone off....don't know, guess this could be good for a conversation topic  ???? But wondering if she had to 'duck and cover' for the whole party and didn't get to talk since this is one of her favorite houses. Also, not sure how that is working with the rest of the day's schedule. She had another party right after. Really tired of worrying about this crazy weather!

Round Three
Daughter called last night and updated about the tornado warning during Round Two...She said they had just finished the house tour and were heading out the door when the recruitment counselor came running up and told the actives to go to the basement and the PNMs to stay on the first floor (guess even during a tornado warning they wanted everyone to play fair  ). Eventually, it was over and they all went on to the last two events on a slightly delayed schedule. At the end of Round Two, Daughter's favorites were still the Lilies, Sunflowers and Daisies, but she had also started to really like the Magnolias much better. She loved the Lilies and Magnolia's houses and also thought that the Magnolias were just so friendly. The Sunflowers seemed really interested in her during conversations and the Daisies, well, she just liked them before even arriving in Athens because she knew some of the girls. Daughter had been to 10 events, so she selected her top 6, and ranked the remaining 4....

Round Three Invites:
Daughter texted with her invitations. Overall, she was happy, but she had lost one of her early favs, the Daisies. She knew several girls in this house and had been excited about them, but knew they would make heavy cuts after round two  . She also was cut from the Peonies and the Sunflowers, two very popular houses, which was disappointing. However, she was very happy because she had a full day of 6 invites including one of her very favorites, the Lilies. She also had the Magnolias which were quickly becoming a favorite, and the Daffodils, Snapdragons, Buttercups, and Jasmine. She knows she is doing very well to have a full day with 4 houses she likes a lot, and two she still isn't sure about. I told her about the stories I had read on GC where many PNMs had new favorites after Philanthropy/Skit rounds because there was more opportunity to really learn about the houses. She knows to start with fresh eyes today .

@SouthernComfor, thank you for posting the links to the photos. Holy Cow! What stunning young women, gorgeous dresses, I'm just gobsmacked. It's got to be difficult for both sides of recruitment. Best of luck to your daughter and to all the other PNMs.
I forgot to do the quote function but appreciated what momuga wrote and I think it bears repeating:
"It is an ongoing process of adaptation and adjustment. They will find their spots and they will shine. Tell them their sisters are waiting for them and they are just as nervous and excited."

I'm guessing the PiChis (RhoChis? what are they called there?) are in the vests with pink name tags. So much fun seeing these photos. Good luck to everyone!

Beautiful dresses - but when did hemlines get so short? And I'm not that old! Do they have to sit on the floor during this round? How do they do it? I know most of those girls are nice young ladies, so they must have received some damn good training in how to sit in those things!
