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

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

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

For philanthropy round, Sis is visiting 11 houses. She visited 8 today and will visit the other 3 tomorrow.

HAROLD HILL: Sis said that while she didn't love the girls here as much as she did during round one, she still liked them a lot. She has been told that it is rare for an out-of-stater to be invited back for more than one round, so she isn't getting her hopes up for a round three invite.

CHRISTOPHER SCOTT: Sis said she was rushed by a couple of fun, funny girls and got to see her friends. Today, Sis saw the Christopher Scott she was expected from her friends' descriptions of it.

SEYMOUR KRELBOURN: Sis really loved this group's philanthropy. Her first couple of rushers were very sweet, but Sis said she felt like her last rusher was very ready to be done with the conversation pretty early on. Between round one and her last rusher today, Sis doesn't think she can see herself here.

BILLY FLYNN: Sis was rushed by friends here today and felt a lot better about this house. While she isn't certain, she feels much better about how this house could fit her.

NATHAN DETROIT: Sis said that the girls who rushed her at this house seemed to know everything about her. She is really surprised by how much they seem to like her because she doesn't know anyone in this chapter.

JAMIE WELLERSTEIN: Sis liked their philanthropy and liked the girls who rushed her much better than the ones she met during the first round. She is very glad she gave them another shot!

DANNY ZUKO: While Sis enjoyed the other houses she visited, she said she was not happier all day than when she was at Danny Zuko. The philanthropy didn't hit home as much as at Jamie Wellerstein or Seymour Krelbourn, but she liked it and, most importantly, met several girls she connected with. She says she just feels at home.

MACK SENNETT: Sis could not have changed her opinion more about a house. She had a hard time making conversation with anyone who rushed her. While she had a great time here when her friend was rushing her during round one, she has started to wonder if maybe she is better off being friends with her friend, not necessarily sisters.

Sis will visit Link Larkin, Melchior Gabor, and Frank Butler tomorrow. Her favorites today were Danny Zuko, Billy Flynn, Christopher Scott, and Harold Hill.
