Hey Kiwijuice, if you stick it out, I'll stick it out.

KiwiJuice08 09-17-2005 07:10 PM

Well I appreciate all the comments, but I don't want you to think that I was unhappy with some of the houses I was invited back to because they weren't the top houses. I don't care about that, I just care about finding a house that I feel comfortable in. I did attend all 3 parties for pref, and I had an amazing time at one of them. One of them was awkward beyond belief and we kind of stared at each other in silence a number of times. The other house, like I said before, I really liked the girls...but I honestly cannot see myself as a sister.

I only listed 2 of the 3 houses I went back to when I preffed them tonight - Judgement and Stardust.

I felt like Judgement went amazingly well. I had the same girl that I had last night, and we hit it off so well last night - today we couldn't stop talking. I felt like I had found a long lost friend!! The food was impressive as well :-) but no...I love this house now...my feelings have definitely grown for it over the last week, and I think I will be heartbroken tomorrow if they are not on my bid card.

I wanted to only list Judgement on my pref sheet, but I talked to my rc about it and she suggested that I list my 2nd, just in case...so I did. We meet tomorrow at 12. I have a feeling tonight is going to be very long.

Again, I hope you don't think I'm choosing houses based on their popularity, because that has been the least of my thoughts. I just want to find a place that I can call home, and sisters that I feel a strong connection with. I feel like I have already found the first sparks of that at one house, and the others...while I could see myself being friends with the girls...I just don't feel as comfortable with them.

Well...until tomorrow!

copacabana 09-17-2005 07:21 PM

Good luck:)

I'll try to stick it out...it's just hard...

No, I don't think that, and don't feel that you can't be honest here. I just want to encourage every rushee to give every chapter a chance. I had a bad rush experience myself, but in hindsight, I couldn't be happier with how it ended up.

UofISigKap 09-17-2005 10:27 PM

It sounds like you were true to yourself and were honest through the process. Good luck tomorrow. I wish you nothing but the best!

(Of course you personally know what house went with what nickname...I think that many of us here secretly go "ohhh, I hope those are my sisters that she really liked the best!" when we read through these threads. I mean, of course we like our respective homes and get excited when someone else sees how great they are too!...Or maybe that's just me. :D ) Anyway, lots of luck and try to get some sleep tonight.

No I'm the same way :D I'm thinking "oh I hope it's ADPi she likes the best" LOL.

But you know what, as long as a PNM finds her home and she is happy, I'm happy.

We have 26 AMAZING sororities in NPC so let's face it girlies, WE ALL ROCK so they lucky to be with any of us!!!! :D



Good luck tomorrow sweetie!!!! I'm sending good thoughts your way!!!!!!

mmcat 09-18-2005 01:03 AM

sweetie...
sleep well tonight and know you did the best you could.
tomorrow could be amazing.
but, if not, you still are...amazing.
you have handled all of this beautifully.
we're with you.

KiwiJuice08 09-18-2005 01:21 AM

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone!! All of the well wishes mean so much to me! I'm really excited for tomorrow, not as nervous as I was a few hours ago...but all the same I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach when I think of opening that bid card tomorrow. Aaaah...I just want 12:00 to be here! But until then...I must do some Econ hw. I put it off for a last minute concert tonight...but I will say it was worth it, and it definitely helped calm the nerves. Well...hopefully I won't be posting before 6pm! Until then...

mmcat 09-18-2005 01:27 AM

no call tonight, or in the morning...
just let it happen and then see what you need to do.
you might land exactly where you need to be.
who knows?

UofISigKap 09-18-2005 12:37 PM

Okay, it's 12:37 EST....C'mon noon time in Champaign!!!
::fingers crossed & wishful thoughts::

(Sheesh, you would have thought that I was personally going through recruitment again!)

KiwiJuice08 09-18-2005 07:02 PM

Ok...the last day was soooo nerve racking! But I made it through :-) We met today at noon and received our bid cards. I was so scared to open mine! But I did, and I was super happy!! We sat with our pledge class and then they revealed what chapters our recruitment counselors are in...I had guessed right on 2 out of my 3! Then we walked back to the house with some of the senior girls...we were given our tshirts and some other fun little things and then we left for lunch!! Karaoke followed back at the house and pledge class pictures...today was amazing. My violet sister for today was the same girl who rushed me the last two rounds. She is amazing and I am sooo happy!!! Now...I bet you are curious as to what house I ended up joining...





















ALPHA DELTA PI!!!! :-D
