Congrats to your daughter, that's quite an accomplishment, getting invites back to every single group. From what I understand, the new release figures they're using make that even more of an extreme rarity.

Thank you for the congrats. She and I were both obviously happy that she didn't get cut from any of the houses this morning, but neither of us realized that it was that rare. She felt really lucky, but unfortunately some of her friends weren't as lucky so she feels a little bit bad about the whole thing.

But on a happier note....she visited 5 houses today. Nutter Butters, Sausalitos, Oreos, Thin Mints and Peanut Butters. She really liked the Oreos on the first day but was leaning more toward the Nutter Butters and Sausalitos yesterday. Today, all three left big impressions but she's really partial to the Oreo's again. Their philanthropy project was the most fun and she felt like it was the most meaningful as well. She got to tour all the houses and really loved them all, but especially the oreos. Yesterday she felt like she had a really great connection with the girls she talked to at the Sausalitos but today things were a little more awkward. She said the girl rushing her seemed even more nervous than she was so it made it hard on both of them. She's really concerned she might get cut by them on Friday, but she's staying optimistic.

She's exhausted from all the walking around (and smiling uncontrollably) but she's really excited about all the people she's met and feels like there are several houses that she would feel comfortable in.

Sorry...I just realized how rambling this is without saying much. It's hard to not give too much away and risk identifying her.

Thank you all again for all the well wishes and encouragement!

Tell me about it! I went off my diet this weekend while we were moving seminoledaughter into her dorm and still haven't gone back on - all I can think of are cookies now! As a matter of fact I think I'm going to finish up the oatmeal cookies I baked last night right now!

Cookie names - not my greatest idea ever

So seminoledaughter went to the Sugars,Vanilla Cremes, Oatmeals and Chocolate Chocolate Chips today.

Sugars - There's a girl in the sugars that she's always admired and was attracted to them because of that. Today though she wasn't really blown away by them.

Vanilla Cremes - She unexpectedly liked them a lot during Ice Waters and liked them even more today. They definitely have moved into her top 5 and she really hopes they invite her back tomorrow for Skit Day.

Oatmeal - Before rush started everyone told her she "looked like" an Oatmeal and she was really excited about meeting them. She says they were super nice and she would definitely love to hang out with them, but just couldn't see herself fitting in with them long term.

Chocolate Chocolate Chips - She felt really badly about her time with the chips. She said the exhaustion finally caught up to her and she may not have come across as interested as she would like to have. She wasn't really feeing at home there though and thinks they'll probably cut her tomorrow.

She finds out at 11:00 tomorrow who invited her back and she's really really looking forward to the Skits. She's been disappointed there hasn't been any singing yet!

In her perfect world she'll get invitations from the Oreos, Nutter Butters, Sausalitos, Thin Mints, and Vanilla Cremes. (Though she's still interected in the sugars). We know she was really lucky to receive invites to all the houses yesterday and knows she probably won't be so lucky tomorrow. Luckily, she really likes so many of the houses, I don't think she'll be too disappointed unless she gets cut by all her favorites.

I'm going to be beside myself waiting for her call at 11:00 but what's a mom to do....

Seminole Mom, you are the SWEETEST!! You remind me of my mom during recruitment. My mom had a really bad recruitment experience and was so worried about me going through and I know was glued to her phone at all times waiting to hear how it went. She was so happpy when I got AOII and LOVES her "Proud to be an AOII Mom" coffee mug. She says you never knew how many people knew an AOII(or whatever group your daughter goes to, because I know AOII isn't there) till you carry that mug! I am sure there is a mug in your future!!
Good luck to your daughter--she is in my thoughts!!
