She's visiting me this weekend and we're going shopping for a pref dress. And, I'll be grilling her for details on the house tours and her new opinions.

That couldbe a really godo thing....I hope you find out what it means

Okay, I finally got the scoop from my sister. And I also realized that I didn't establish any code names. I love Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and there are 5 houses at my sister's school, so:

Ted
Kyan
Thom
Carson
Jai

As I said earlier, she went on house tours on Thursday. Here's what she thought:

Ted - Very stereotypical sorority. She felt like everything was posed and unnatural. She just didn't feel comfortable in this house.

Kyan - Really liked this house. She had a lot of good conversations with the sisters during the tour and felt very at ease.

Thom - Liked this house, but their GPA requirement is really high and she's just below their cutoff.

Carson - Just like Kyan, she really liked this house. Again, conversations seemed easy and natural.

Jai - Despite really loving this house last year and participating in informal recruitment there, she didn't get the same good feeling this time around. It was "okay" but not great.

She's keeping a really open mind and is very excited for next week (as am I!)

Round 1 was last night and I was only able to talk to my sister for about 2 minutes this afternoon. Here's how she ranked the houses last night:

1. Kyan - She said, "I absolutely love Kyan. I talked to a gazillion of them last night."
2. Jai - She said, "I had a good night at Jai so they're back in the top"
3. Carson
4. Thom
5. Ted

I'll talk to her some more tonight and get the rest of the details. She's having so much fun!

Round 2 is tomorrow night.

Good luck to your sister, I'm glad she's having fun! I pretty much hated formal recruitment and am not sure if I was having fun or not, but it certainly is always an exciting time. I hope she continues to have fun throughout!!!
