Two UGA Stories at Once

dgdramadawg · #1 08-21-2014, 10:25 PM

I love doing threads about multiple PNMs at once, because it's great to see how different women view the same chapters on the same campus. I always wait to make sure that the PNMs are happily holding their bids before I begin posting.

In 2010, it was three UGA PNMs with a Weeds theme.
In 2011, it was four UGA PNMs with a Muppets theme.
In 2012, it was two UGA PNMs with a Live Action Disney theme.
In 2013, it was seven UGA PNMs with a 90s Nickelodeon theme.

And now I am really running out of themes, so this year's theme is going to be...

The Random Movies I See On My Shelf Recruitment Thread.

Yes. I know. I apologize for my waning creativity.

The 17 chapters at UGA:
Now and Then
The Wiz
Toy Story
Camp Nowhere
Jawbreaker
Rounders
White Christmas
The Negotiator
Dreamgirls
Ferngully
Dead Poets Society
Fear of a Black Hat
Die Hard
Spellbound
The Family Stone
You're Next
Jurassic Park

Choose your favorites! I shall return with a great pair of stories.

Go Die Hard and Jurassic Park!

I feel like The Wiz should be a historically black sorority. Dead Poets Society full of prep school WASPs.

If they don't both go Jawbreaker they are just dead to me.

I'm going for the holiday movies - White Christmas and The Family Stone!

And we'll add Die Hard in there since it could be considered a holiday movie too.

Oh I am all about the Jurassic Park! "Hold on to your butts!" perfectly describes recruitment, doesn't it?

Dead Poets Society, the one-and-only I've ever seen from that list.

I want to highly recommend everything else on it.

Here we go!

I'm going house by house and will differentiate my PNMs as A and B.

NOW AND THEN
A loved this house! Definitely a favorite.
B loved this house! Early favorite for her, too.

THE WIZ
A liked this house. She wants to return to get to know them better.
B wouldn't mind returning, but she didn't really feel like she got to know them well enough for them to be in her top 12.

TOY STORY
A enjoyed the conversations here, but it wouldn't be in her top 12.
B also enjoyed the conversations and wouldn't mind returning, but it wouldn't be in her top 12.

CAMP NOWHERE
A liked it a lot here and hopes to return.
B also liked this group a lot and hopes to return to get to know them better.

JAWBREAKER
A liked this group a lot and wants to return to get to know them better.
B LOVED this group and says it is definitely one of her early favorites!

ROUNDERS
A enjoyed her time here, but didn't feel that this group stood out as much as some of the others.
B also had a good time at this house, but did not enjoy this house as much as others.

WHITE CHRISTMAS
A really liked this group! It is an early favorite for her.
B LOVED this group! It is right up there with Jawbreaker for her.

THE NEGOTIATOR
A really liked this house and definitely wants to return.
B had some nice conversations here, but did not feel at home in the way that she did at other houses.

More on round one later... I hate to leave mid post, but I misjudged how much time I had to post. Stay tuned for the other round one thoughts!

B loved this house! Definitely an early favorite.

A loved this chapter! An early favorite up there with Now and Then, White Christmas, Spellbound, and Die Hard.
B loved this chapter! An early favorite up there with Now and Then, Jawbreaker, White Christmas, Ferngully, and You're Next.

At the end of round one, each girl had really enjoyed her time spent at each house. They each had a few favorites with some overlap (Jurassic Park, Now and Then, and White Christmas) and some differences. Both were excited and hopeful to attend their top houses for round two.

You are amazing! How you keep them all straight is beyond me!

Rusty Cundieff, writer and costar of Fear of a Black Hat, is an Alpha.

I didn't know that! Such a great movie.

dgdramadawg · #14 08-23-2014, 04:06 PM

A and B were very excited to receive their invites! Both girls received invites to 12 great houses.

I'm going to split them up below based on the houses that both are returning to, A only, and B only.

A AND B ARE BOTH RETURNING TO...
Now and Then
Camp Nowhere
Jawbreaker
White Christmas
Dreamgirls
Spellbound
You're Next
Jurassic Park

A IS ALSO RETURNING TO THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS (where B will not be returning)...
The Wiz
Dead Poets Society
The Negotiator
Die Hard

B IS ALSO RETURNING TO THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS (where A will not be returning)...
Ferngully
Fear of a Black Hat
The Family Stone
Rounders

The only chapter that neither A nor B will return to for round 2 is Toy Story.

The house by house round two recap:

A AND B CHAPTERS:
Now and Then
This chapter remains a favorite for both A and B. They find these girls very easy to talk to.

Camp Nowhere
A and B continue to enjoy talking to these girls. However, they both did not think this chapter would fall into their top 6 when ranking for round two. Regardless, they definitely would not mind returning.

Jawbreaker
A liked these girls a lot, but she was not sure whether this chapter would fall into her top 6. She would not mind returning at all.
B LOVED this chapter. This is definitely one of her top chapters overall.

White Christmas
A counted this chapter as one of her favorites in round one, but she didn't feel as much of a connection in round two. She wouldn't mind returning, but she also would not put this one in her top 6.
B loved this chapter! Definitely a favorite!

Dreamgirls
A was eager to come back here after feeling a little overwhelmed during round one, and she was glad she did. The conversations were a lot easier and more comfortable. She would place this group in her top 6 now.
B really liked this chapter a lot. She would place this chapter in her top 6, for sure.

Spellbound
A loved this house! This is one of her top chapters. She felt so at home here.
B really liked this house. She wouldn't necessarily put it in her top 6, but she definitely wouldn't mind returning.

You're Next
A thought these girls were really sweet and easy to talk to. She wouldn't place this group in her top 6, but she wouldn't mind coming back, either.
B loved this house! This is one of her favorites (along with Jawbreaker and White Christmas).

Jurassic Park
A loved this chapter! She hopes to return and counts this as one of her top 6.
B really liked this chapter and hopes to return, as well.

A ONLY CHAPTERS
The Wiz
A thought these girls were really sweet, but just didn't see herself here.

Dead Poets Society
Same as The Wiz.

The Negotiator
A had enjoyed this chapter a lot during round one, but she really felt even more comfortable during round two! She definitely wants to return.

Die Hard
The chapter continues to be one of A's favorites, due to their carefree, down to earth attitude.

B ONLY CHAPTERS
Ferngully
B really loved this chapter and definitely would like to return.

Fear of a Black Hat
B thought these girls were easy to talk to and fun, but she didn't think it was as much of a fit as the other chapters she visited. She wouldn't mind going back.

The Family Stone
Same as Fear of a Black Hat.

Rounders
Same as The Family Stone and Fear of a Black Hat.

After round two, the girls knew they had to select a top 6, but both had several chapters they would like to return to outside of those groups.

A's top 6 were (in no particular order): Spellbound, Die Hard, Jurassic Park, Dreamgirls, Now and Then, The Negotiator
B's top 6 were (in no particular order): Now and Then, Jawbreaker, White Christmas, You're Next, Dreamgirls, Jurassic Park
