Texas Daughter's Recruitment Thread!

[texasmom]

TexasDaughter called tonight and gave me her review. I've tried to post twice and screwed up both times. That's what I get for trying to type after midnight! Maybe this third time will be the charm!

After a long, long struggle, TexasDaughter ranked the houses in the following order. This was very difficult for her, as she felt each group had something to offer. She told me "Mom, I really would go back to my number 12 if that's the way it falls."

1. Kelly. A favorite. Everythng clicked here. She said she could literally see herself living here. She liked the girls, the house, and the philanthropy is her absolute favorite.

2. Taylor. Another favorite. Obviously, a lot of the PNMs feel the same way. -- this is one of the most popular houses at A&M and a lot of the PNMs ranked it highly.

3. Tamyra. A surprising favorite because TexasDaughter didn't know anything about this GLO and she adored her visit today. A lot of the girls made a point of asking her very specific questions and knew a lot about her.

4. Katherine. Another dark horse favorite which surprised TexasDaughter. She had no recs for this chapter but did love it. Again, these girls had done their homework and asked TexasDaughter pertinent questios about some of the things she'd done in high school.

5. Reuben. TexasDaughter liked this chapter because she said a lot of the girls were very friendly, not just to her, but to all the PNMs. They made a point of seeing that everyone was comfortable.

6. Chris. TexasDaughter remembered some of these girls from a pre-recruitment event held at A&M last spring and was pleased that they remembered her too! She liked the fact these girls were down to earth and laid back.

7. Ace. Although TexasDaughter did not know any of these girls, they had some friends in common. She would like to visit them again to talk more.

8. Clay. TexasDaughter lilked their interviewing style. They talked to the PNMs at small tables and the girls actually got to sit down!!

9. Fantasia. This was the last house of the night that TexasDaughter visited. She admired their style and even though everyone was tired, she still felt a connection with several of their girls.

10. Simon. TexasDaughter liked these girls and did not want to rank them in the bottom 3 She would willingly go back for a visit.

11. Randy. TexasDaughter ranked them here because she did not care for their style of rushing PNMs. There were two PNMs per rushee and she felt some of her questions didn't get answered.

12. Paula. Again, the reason they were ranked so low is because of the style of rushing. TexasDaughter spoke to only one rusher the entire time.
She would go back, though.

A long, long day -- and TexasDaughter (and texasmom) are tired. TexasDaughter really wrestled with the rankings tonight.

If TexasDaughter receives any invitations to the next round, they'll be given tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. and then she'll plunge immediately into the next round of parties. I think they are allowed to attend up to 9 parties tomorrow if they have that many invites.

Thanks again to everyone for indulging a "newbie" on these Boards. . . your support has been invaluable.
