At my school i was allowed to pref up to 3. I knew from the start i wanted to be a Gamma Phi cause thats where I truly felt at home (and cause my mom was a gamma phi) so I said I just wanted to pref Gamma Phi but the Greek Advisor was kinda crazy and told me that because i was invited back to all the chapters that i HAD to pref 3. so i preffed Alpha Chi Omega, and Sigma Sigma Sigma too (not like I wanted either of them)

I preffed Gamma Phi, of course, Phi Sigma Sigma, and Sigma Delta Tau. I knew that Gamma Phi was my top choice...the hardest part was ranking the other two. I was lucky...I wanted Gamma Phi from day one!

I preffed Gamma Phi and Alpha Phi. It was such a hard decision for me but I definitely made the right decision! <3

Gamma Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma

I went into recruitment knowing very little about sororities. I rushed in the spring during informal recruitment and, while I was also considering rushing Delta Gamma and Alpha Phi, the Gamma Phi Beta women were so sincere, funny and welcoming that I chose to accept the bid I was offered right away.

I was a little unsure about joining a sorority at first, but Gamma Phi Beta was so amazingly supportive and friendly that I soon knew I had made one of the best decisions of my life. =)

Gamma Phi Beta, Tri Delta, Delta Gamma

I joined in during informal recruitment. There was one day where you did 20-minute (or thereabouts) parties at all 10 orgs, and then it was up to you to attend some of their upcoming COB events.
I was most interested in Gamma Phi, Delta Gamma and Alpha Chi Omega. Due to various conflicts, I never got back to Alpha Chi, so it was really between Gamma Phi and DG. When I got my bid to Gamma Phi, I was pretty certain I wanted it more than DG or AChiO. I accepted my bid and was done with recruitment!:D

Pref!
 

I preffed Delta Zeta and of course Gamma Phi Beta! I am a g phi legacy so I really wanted to make sure my decision was based on what I wanted, not what my sister wanted!

I definitely made the right choice!

Love in IIKE,

I preffed Delta Gamma and Alpha Delta Pi.

I preffed Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Gamma Phi Beta and Zeta Tau Alpha

I preffed Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Gamma Delta. When I went home for a weekend that fall, I ran into Gamma Phi alum (Esther Dean Nyland, Beta 1919) coming out of a local shop as I was going in. She told me she was disappointed to have heard from the AGD alum who'd written me a rec that I'd joined her sorority, and I said, "No, I didn't, Esther Dean! I joined Gamma Phi!" She was sooooooo happily surprised and excited...it was priceless! After I initiated, she gave me her badge, which I wear with love and reverance (and IH's full knowledge :)

Aw that's such a cute story!

I preffed Kappa Delta and Gamma Phi Beta. It took forever to make that decision! But in the end I knew I had already made a lot of connections in Gamma Phi, but hardly any in Kappa Delta. :)

I preffed Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Xi Delta.

My mom was the AXD chapter advisor at the time and knew that I really wanted GPB (and was, in her opinion, a better fit for that chapter) so my mom bumped the girl who was preffing me and sat down and told me all the things I needed to be looking for in a sorority home - and that it was more important to her that I find those things than worry about legacy.

On my bid day, she came over to where the GPBs had gathered and gave me a teddy bear (AXD mascot) tied with scads of pink and brown GPB ribbon.
That meant so much to me... to this day, I love my pref story and being Greek women is still our common bond, regardless of the house!

Your mom embodies the Panhellenic spirit, Jenidallas! :)
