UNC Recruitment so far

I tried to tell her that she was in great shape with three houses for house tours but all of her favorites had released her, so it was hard for her to see my side. The three she had left were her sister's house and the two on campus that traditionally are weaker recruiting chapters. I stressed to her that she needed to go into these houses with an open mind and a grateful attitude and she promised she would. Round Four (Pref night) she had two houses, her sister's house and one other. I didn't hear from her til late last night (the Gamma Chi's take their phones before they go to their first house and don't give them back until a pledge card is signed). She really agonized over her decision. She liked her sister's house best of the two, but feels like the other house she preffed was taking a chance on her even though she was an in-house legacy somewhere else. She doesn't want to feel like the only reason she made it to Pref night was because of her sister. But she's also frustrated that she might have been written off by her favorite houses because of her sister. I don't know how she ranked them - she didn't offer and I didn't ask. Being the little sister of an Active definitely changes the experience, but regardless of what happens, I hope she can put it all behind her and have a wonderful night

Best of luck...please let us know how it turns out.
