I thought the same thing when I visited the chapter that I ended up becoming a part of... and that girl is now my grand-big!

I'm excited for your little sis and oh, it is agony, I remember!!

I can't wait for the rest of your story but first I wanted to give a shout out to Spring Awakening and The Last 5 Years, two of my favorite musicals represented in your story!

Yay!

BILLY BIGELOW: Sis said that while this chapter was smaller than the others, they made a great effort to really engage girls in conversation despite some double rushing. Sis is really hoping for the "big sorority" experience, but she is definitely not ruling this house out because she likes the girls she met here today.

JAMIE WELLERSTEIN: Sis had a hard time engaging girls in conversations past "What's your major?" and "Do you know your roommate?" However, she did not get to see her friends here today. She really thinks she would love to give this house another chance if she is invited back, since she knows girls who loved this house a lot.

CHRISTOPHER SCOTT: Sis felt similarly about this chapter to Billy Flynn... she was not as impressed as she expected to be from her friends' descriptions, but she still likes it. She was not rushed by any of her friends here.

LINK LARKIN: Sis said this house feels like a "home" instead of a house. She especially loved being able to sit down at this house! She said this house had a hard to explain aura that just felt great for her.

MACK SENNETT: Sis really felt like a VIP at this house because she was rushed by a close friend who introduced her to officers. She didn't get to meet as many sisters as she did at other houses, but she loved the ones she met!

NATHAN DETROIT: Sis was kind of put off by some of the questions she was asked at this house, but she noted that some of her friends loved it here... she felt that maybe she was just rushed by the wrong girls. She's totally willing to give it another shot.

While girls at Bama don't have to rank houses after each round, Sis made herself a list at the end of each round of recruitment. Here are her thoughts at the end of round one!

Houses Sis loves and wants to go back to:
1. Danny Zuko
2. Mack Sennett
3. Link Larkin
4. Melchior Gabor
5. Harold Hill

Houses Sis really likes:
6. Billy Flynn
7. Christopher Scott
8. Frank Butler

Houses Sis would like to see again to get a better read on:
9. Seymour Krelbourn
10. Jamie Wellerstein
11. Nathan Detroit

Houses Sis would be comfortable not returning to:
12. Billy Bigelow
13. Horace Vandergelder
14. Bobby Child

I can't wait to read how the rest of her week went!

Odd that she won't rule this house out but then ranks them as one she's not comfortable returning to....

It's not that she's "not comfortable returning," it's that she's "comfortable not returning." At Bama, girls can only visit 11 houses during round 2, so if she is invited to her top 11, she would not return, but if she is not invited to her top 11 and is invited to Billy Bigelow, she would be glad to go back.

It's not like she hated the chapter. She seems to be having a good experience at pretty much every chapter that she visits, so someone has to be at the bottom.

Sis was invited back to 12 chapters for round two! She was surprised because she had been told that out of staters are usually cut very heavily. Since she was invited back to 12 and can only visit 11, she had to cut one. She said she was glad that she had made the list the night before so that she had already thought about where she would choose not to return in a situation like this. For round two, Sis will visit:

Danny Zuko
Mack Sennett
Link Larkin
Melchior Gabor
Harold Hill
Billy Flynn
Christopher Scott
Frank Butler
Seymour Krelbourn
Jamie Wellerstein
Nathan Detroit

It sounds like your sister had a wonderful time and was keeping a very open mind. Yeah for her.


I'm glad there is a happy ending

Psst...you don't have to do this in "real time".

Hear hear! It sounds like her recruitment is going (or I guess went) great!
