Another Retro Recruitment Story

Next was Seattle. As in the first round, another girl and I were double-rushed. We sort of got cornered on a couch with a girl sitting in front of us, which felt uncomfortable, and we sat for so long that our house tour was kind of rushed. I again didn't click with the girls I talked to (this time I got to talk to two girls) and just something about this house didn't feel right to me.

Then I had a break, and after the break was Paris. This was a great house with fun girls (I had two acquaintances in the house), but I just hadn't felt right there during the first round. When I got to the house, I didn't actually get a house tour--instead, the girl who picked me up at the door took me and sat me down in the living room to talk. Then she was bumped by another girl who sat me down in the garden to talk. This was mostly a good conversation, but she actually brought up drugs (a big recruitment no-no!) and I felt very uncomfortable. The third girl to bump took me upstairs, but rather than showing me the house, she sat me down in the first bedroom upstairs to talk, and the party ended soon after. I was very disappointed that I didn't get to see the house, especially since all the other girls in my Pi Chi group had been given full tours.

My ranking looked like this:

1. Barcelona
2. Munich I wanted to give my legacy chapter one more chance
3. San Francisco
4. London
Bottom Three
1. Seattle
2. Paris
3. Boston

I'm a little curious... why did you rank Boston last? It seemed like you had neutral-positive things to say about them, and had less positive feelings toward the other 2 in your bottom 3. I was just a little surprised to see them down there and had to go back to re-read to see if I had missed something. (quote above just kept the relevant pieces to bottom 3, highlighted some words because this is more entertaining than real work)

I'm reading too! I'm so interested.

But I too, was confused about you ranking Boston last...

The bottom houses are ranked in the order we wanted to drop them--from the one we most wanted to drop to the one we least wanted to drop. Hope that clears things up!

Oh interesting. I haven't seen that method before, or at least haven't noticed. That makes more sense. Thanks

I don't actually remember if that's how we filled out the cards...it's just how I have it written in the back of my booklet.
