Univ.of Illinois Recruitment FALL 2012

[908sfirst]

my daughter tells me that everyone she has talked to has 7 houses on their schedule. People ask to see hers, and she's embarrassed to show only her 4!

Is 7 the max today? I assure you that plenty women do not have 7. Also, it only takes one it only takes one it only takes one.

And to be a narcissistic hijacker, my thread is here.

Yes there are 7 parties today, but I haven't heard from anyone that has confided in me in actually having that many to go to.
I am going to read your story now, which I never saw so thanks so much for posting...I love reading these!

Most everyone says they have the max parties and most everyone dropped every house they did not return to. I have heard that so much I cannot begin to express how easy it is for anyone to say whatever they want. It's not polite to ask anyone to see their list, that's for someone to offer to show and I really wish the pnms did not do this. 4 houses are wonderful...seriously she is doing very well!

I can assure you, just like everyone else, this is false. There's a lot of game playing among young ladies during such a stressful time - people have their little strategies for coping and hoping. Try, try to get her not to share that info or get caught up in what anyone else is doing, although I know it's really hard. It's not quantity, it's quality and focusing on what you have, not what you don't have. It truly does only take one. Best wishes to her.

IT ONLY TAKES ONE.

I REPEAT IT ONLY TAKES O-N-E.

I know it hurts not to have a full schedule.

Those other girls may have more parties.

Things can change on dime during Recruitment. Those girl's schedules can drop from 7 to one orNONE in a heartbeat.
