Re: Penguintrax's Babysitter's FSU Recruitment

Uhm, Barbara, having you as a resource is . . well . . . a major advantage.

Like having a pro-coach give you tips on trying out for High School sports.

My sitter is going through Recruitment at FSU this week. She had fabulous times at the houses during round 1 and just got her invites for round 2.

She got invited back to 10 of 14 and was required to cut 1.

The houses she is returning to are:

apple
banana
grape
kiwi
plum
pineapple
peach
pear
orange

Her favorites so far (although she likes all of them) are apple, banana, and pineapple. She is very excited for philanthropy round today and having more time to get to know the sisters at all the houses.

Well, James, I hope you meant that as a compliment...?!

She's a very bright girl, she had lots of stuff figured out before I even knew she was going to go through recruitment. That's not to say I didn't give her a few tips, but I also did my best to get letters of introduction to her from as many houses as I can. She's keeping a very open mind. In fact, although she was surprised to have gotten cut from 3 houses, she said (and I quote) - "At least I know where I stand and can concentrate more on the 9 houses I'm going to for Philanthropy". She'll be an asset to any house that is lucky enough to bid her.

Definitely a compliment. Like having St. Peter give you tips on making it into heaven. (maybe I shouldn't have chosen a sports metaphor before)

Since, you are like the Patron Saint of Sorority Rush

Today's update! She got invites back to 8 of 9 and accepted invites back to:

apple
grape
pineapple
peach
orange


Apple, Pineapple and Peach are current top three (in no particular order) although she said she's grateful for all her invites and would love to go to prefs at any of the 5 houses. She's also WAY excited to see the skits and talk more with the sisters.

Prefs...

I found out from her father that she went to prefs at:

grape
pineapple
orange

I don't know if apple & peach didn't invite her or if she declined an invite.

Bid day is today. As soon as I know to where she accepted a bid, I will post. I'm sure she's very busy with her new sisters!
