I can't wait for the update!!

Ames dear! Is there anyway you can tell us who you are going to pref? If not its cool and I COMPLETELY understand. All I can say is I hope is orange whoever that is! :)

:D Yippee! One more day! Preference is ( in my opinion) the best day to get a feel for a sorority... this party is a completely different speed... no more endless conversations... no more house tours, just you and another girl and it's very emotional.
I was at lsu from fall 1997- Spring 2002, greek from fall 1997- Spring 2001
good luck today and keep us posted!

If you pref a sorority, you are on their bid list. The thing is, you could be very high on their bid list (thus getting a bid), or very low on their bid list (thus not getting a bid).

It all depends on who above you recieves/prefs the sorority #1. For example, if quota is 50, and you are number 60 on the bid list - then roughly 10 other girls would have to pref someone else first and then that sorority has them high on their bid list so they get a bid form somewhere else.

When a girl goes somewhere else, that pulls you up on the list. So no, you aren't gaurenteed a bid from a sorority you pref. Everything is out of your hands and their hands once they turn in their list and you turn in your pref card. It's left up to the computer or whoever is doing the matching to put everyone in their right place.

I demand an update! :p

I mean, when you get a chance and all!

:D


This is not meant to be taken seriously, for everyone that thinks we are too pushy at times...

daoine 08-22-2003 02:27 PM

Ames44...I see you. :) What's the scoop?!?

Ames44 08-22-2003 02:27 PM

Thanks meridionaleDG.. You put it oh so nicely.

Well, I got my invites and I preffed at all 3 houses I attended yesterday.. Which made me not regret cutting that other chapter yesterday. I preffed at..

ORANGE
BLUE
BLACK

I'm SO glad ORANGE is still in the runnings!! I got so emotional and teary-eyed at the skit yesterday, I'm just sure the flood gates will be released tonight.. Ahhh! Emotions are running high and I'm so drained from this entire week..EVERYONE is. You just walk by or see the girls and we all have that same look in our eyes.

I'm so wired and nervous at the same time, I have the sickest feeling! I hope everything works out with ORANGE but I'm sure that I will be happy with BLUE.. or even BLACK. It's an early call..but I have a feeling that this is the order I will place them

ORANGE
BLUE
BLACK

Preferences are tonight.. Invites at 5:30, parties start at 6. We're not allowed to leave the row, even if we have a break.. or talk to anyone in between parties. No cell phones, complete silence. Tomorrow.. if we don't receive calls from our Gamma Chi's at 9:30 saying we've been removed.. then bids are received at 5 (I think.. Correct me Moxie if I'm wrong)

PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS! I WANT ORANGE SO BADLY!

JohnsDGsweethrt 08-22-2003 02:33 PM
