Indeed.

Well, today was Pref Day also known as the last day of rush. We all had to dress up in nice dresses and I was excited to get my list of houses (we could get asked back to a max of 3). Some girls I know got calls this morning saying no houses asked them back for Pref, so I was greatful to open my paper and find that I had:

Peach
Kiwi
Lemon

Finally, I had all the houses that I wanted back, and I didn’t have to go to Apple anymore! I was definitely excited for this day.

Lemon- This was the first house I Preffed at, and the girl that I talked to was one that I talked to already second round. However, I did not know if I actually liked the girls in this house all that much because most of them (not all), including the girl who Preffed me, seemed kind of awkward and not someone that I would be great friends with. The ceremony was beautiful, and they sang a lot of songs that I love. I did not have anything to compare it to since it was my first house of the day, but overall I decided I definitely would not mind being a Lemon.

Peach- I went to Peach’s Pref ceremony after Lemon, and the girl I talked to was one whom I had talked to in previous rounds who I really connected with. The ceremony was a lot different than Lemon's, but still nice. I left Peach knowing that I would have a tough decision to make.

Kiwi- The ceremony at this house was much more extravagant than the other two, which was to be expected at Kiwi. I talked to a girl whom I had never talked to before, which probably wasn’t a good sign but I was still surprised to be asked back here yet again, especially since I kept cutting them. The girl and I got along really well, but I knew that as nice as the girls at Kiwi were and even though Kiwi was the topped ranked house out of any house at my school, I would not feel as comfortable in this house as I would in some of the others.

After I attended all three houses, I had NO idea what to do. All of my friends who I talked to told me I better be ranking Kiwi first because it’s the top house out of all of them and I was lucky to even have preffed there so I may as well try to get a bid. However, I just don’t feel like I would be comfortable at Kiwi so I decided not to listen to my friends. My decision came down between Peach and Lemon, and I had absolutely no idea which to rank first. I wanted to be a Lemon because out of all my friends who had Peach and Lemon as two of their houses left, ALL of them were picking Lemon and everyone says that you’re closest with your pledge class. However, I liked all of the sisters at Peach much better but none of my friends were ranking this house first. Finally, after talking with my Rho Chis for a long time, I ranked

1 Peach
2 Lemon
3 Kiwi

and signed my bid card. We'll see what happens tomorrow..

Hope you have a Peachy Bid Day!

i love that you made up your own mind. that takes guts!

Oooh! Please tell us how it went!

I was going to say, EBITY? I can't think of a school that has exactly 12 NPC chapters in the midwest that does formal recruitment in the fall. Unless one of these is a local, or there is an NPC that doesn't participate in formal recruitment.

I have been thinking EBITY since the beginning of this thread (and at least one other thread of late, as well).

Typical EB writing and title style, classic EB heroine who chooses the less popular chapter over the popular one, and several mentions of rude rushers. It has been verrrry familiar from the beginning. However, since some GCers don't like it when we question recruitment stories, I decided to keep quiet (at least publically) this time.

Ok, I give up. What is EBITY?

I have also thought a few of these stories sounded like they were written by the same person (sentence structure, etc.)

Should be easy enough for moderators to check ISP numbers. Unless they are signing on from different computers. Then all I can say is how sad is your life to have nothing better to do than make up recruitment stories on GC? :eek:

okay I never said that none of the chapters weren't locals because I don't want to give away which school I go to since I did have some negative things to say about some of the sororities. I just went through rush in the fall and if you don't want to hear my story that's fine but I don't like being accused of already posting my story on here when it just happened.

I would really like to hear the end of your story please! Thanks :)

I agree with what everyone else is saying but I think we should wait and hear the end.

So if you really agree that this is very possibly a fake rush story you want to hear how it turned out?

Sorry, but that makes no sense :)

bid day!
 

Here is the final part of my story, sorry it's taken a few days I've been busy with pledging and sisterhood activities:


Well, today was BID DAY!!! And it was really tiring. So many girls got calls saying they were dropped from every house and I was really nervous, but finally the time came for us to get our bids. We had to go meet with our Rush Group in a large auditorium where we would all be handed our bid cards at the same time.

I opened my card and I got…




































PEACH!!!!!!!!



also known as


























PHI SIGMA SIGMA!

great story, congrats to you and the rest of phi sig! :)

I must be losing my mind but didn't EB post "My Competitive Rush" with virtually the same sorority codes and colors. She had 2 more in hers and Kiwi and Peach were the exact same colors.

If I am wrong, I apologize in advance!!!

You're not losing your mind.
