[AXi1257]

[tld221]

ok so Marissa and Ryan were your tops from freshman year, and now Marissa is at your bottom, but NOW Marissa is on your schedule!

but you also got Serena! bah! this one is getting really good.

(i dont watch Gossip Girl, but have read all the books, so still excited!)

I can't wait to read the rest! Maybe a little treat for breakfast?

[kchaptergphib]

awesome, AWESOME story. I can't wait to hear more!

[tangelo212]

PLEEEEEEAAASSEEE keep going! I am so enjoying this!
And I like your little strategy about walking away from the recruitment group where girls are opening lists and instead just going over to the houses so that you don't back out! Smart idea.

You have me wondering how things would have been for me and others, if we waited until our second year to go through the process again.
Excellent thread!

Ahh! I thought I would get to read the whole story at once!

I'm curious to see how it turns out, good luck!

i know you already answered this, but maybe another reason you didnt notice it has to do with your region? like, i think in another part of the country that detail may stick out a little more. but hmm, i think i would notice from day 1 that "hmm, all the XYZs were ____________," esp. if it was "about 85%" of the chapter.

which leads me to ask (and maybe this will give your location away, so no pressure), is this house historically Asian or historically White that happens to have lots of Asian sisters?

(i know i know, let's cringe over the semantics of that one but still be on the same page)

and yes, im enjoying this one too!

This house is NOT historically asian. In fact, at my campus, there have been several recruitments since mine and the house is actually wayyyyy more diverse. Since I only went to day 1 of marissa (where we were picked up at the door and given a mini house tour), they were not all standing together for me to notice. I was pretty much concentrating on the girl I was speaking too.

Since I made it to day 2 of recruitment this time, I got to see their mini skit. So all the actives were lined up around the room watching the performing actives. It was easier to see everyone. HOWEVER, I know for a fact that if I went to marissa day 2 my freshman year, I would not have cared that the girls were primarily one race. They were gorgeous girls. and that is what I was looking for my freshman year.

You are not funny! I keep checking for updates and then you lead me/us on like that. I can't stand it!

[myopicsunflower]

I agree.. I just feel like it's.. idk, taboo or something to mention other houses, especially in a fashion like this. But regardless, I cannot believe you left us on a cliffhanger like this.. I NEED to know!!
