what to tell chapters

You can tell them whatever you want, but I wouldn't recommend being desperate. Be completely open and honest and genuine with them and you can say how you truly feel about the house, there are no rules against it!

I always really liked it when a PNM expressed to me how interested she was in my chapter. It made the decision making process easier for me - if I was on the fence, but she expressed a genuine interest and excitement, I immediately liked her better than the girl who played coy. Don't let your favorite house wonder to themselves if you even like them!

Definitely tell them. Don't like gush about it and go on and on, but simply saying to someone that their house is your favorite, and you can really see yourself becoming a part of the chapter, helps people on the fence make a decision! It shows you want to be there, which in my opinion puts you in a better light than the other PNMs.
