good luck

Duchovnysfan 01-06-2007 05:27 AM

Good luck! Hope you get your top 3 for later today *crosses fingers*

KSUViolet06 01-06-2007 12:32 PM

I noticed that you've had a full schedule for every round. I must say that's EXCELLENT especially for a school like IU. You seem to have a very positive attitude about things. From what you're writing, it seems like you are keeping your options as open as possible and not being dead set on any certain chapter. Keep it up.

PhoenixAzul 01-06-2007 12:46 PM

Hope you get your wish!

twinkle555 01-06-2007 12:57 PM

i hope you get all your faves! much luck i hope it stops raining for you!!

Lily1909 01-06-2007 01:43 PM

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your story with us!!

bluefish81 01-06-2007 01:49 PM

Good luck! And I love the crayon names btw.

petals 01-06-2007 01:55 PM

Ugh, it rained all over me during recruitment too! Good luck!

Stef the Pef 01-06-2007 04:19 PM

Good luck! I hope you get your "warm fuzzy" chapters tomorrow for pref. :)

reverie 01-06-2007 05:11 PM

i can't stand the anticipation!!! good luck to you!!

Sister Havana 01-06-2007 07:20 PM

I'm hoping you got your three favorites today. :) Can't wait to hear about it!

Ocalagirl 01-06-2007 07:42 PM

I can't wait to see how the rest of the week goes!! This sounds so great and wish you all the luck!!

TwinStars09 01-06-2007 09:36 PM

Good luck with Pref - you've been doing a wonderful job of keeping your head up and an open mind which are both so important during formal recruitment - I hope your Pref Night is perfect!

<3gpinky<3 01-06-2007 09:49 PM

Pref
 
Wow... I am so exhausted. I just got back from turning in my final list for recruitment! I found out this afternoon that I would be going back to Banana Mania, Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown, and Laser Lemon. I was really excited for Laser Lemon but at the same time I was really upset that I didn't get invited back to Cerulean. Apparently they cut a lot of girls last night. I also liked Banana Mania so I sucked it up and went on to the first pref party.

I talked with one girl at Banana Mania and she was very funny and made me feel at ease. We then went down to ritual and listened to some of the seniors tell stories, which made everyone cry. I also talked to a girl who I met at an earlier party and was really excited that she remembered me.

At Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown I also talked to only one girl before ritual. She and I were had some similarities and I felt that I had more of a connection with this house today than I had in the past, though not as much as the other two houses. Still, I was impressed by how much better this conversation went.

Final party of recruitment... yay!!!! I went into Laser Lemon and talked again with one girl and we had a really good conversation. Then during ritual it was so moving that even I teared up! The girls here are so sincere and I feel so comfortable in the house. I can't believe how much I've grown to love this house since 19 Party.

At the end of the day I ranked Laser Lemon as my number one followed by Banana Mania. I know that I wouldn't accept a bid from Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown so I decided not to rank them and take another pnm's bid. I absolutely love Laser Lemon and am so glad that I went through recruitment because my first impression of them isn't the same as how I'm feeling now! I would also accept a bid from Banana Mania. I've also grown to like this house and would even though I'd be so sad to lose Laser Lemon, I know I would be happy at Banana Mania.

It's so weird being done with recruitment. This has taken up my whole life the past week and now I won't have any more recruitment stories to narrate!

Tonight is the big rho gamma reveal which I might attend. I'm so glad Bid Day is nearly here: recruitment has been fun but beyond exhausting. I really hope I get a bid so that I can meet my new sisters and spend the rest of the day with the house! So unlike my other days, you really don't want to hear from me so soon tomorrow, because on bid day, no news is good news! :D We get our bids sometime after 1 pm tomorrow then at 3 pm we get on busses and are taken from house to house where they let us off to meet our new sisters who cheer and bang on the outside of the busses for us! I can't wait!

Aphigal 01-06-2007 10:00 PM

It sounds like you had a great pref. I hope you find your home tomorrow!

MJo19 01-06-2007 10:14 PM

I'm sending good thoughts your way!:)

petals 01-06-2007 10:39 PM

*Sending good energies to Bloomington*

You have such a positive attitude, it sounds like you'll be happy wherever you end up. Have faith and FUN tomorrow!

(Off topic, but I'll be visiting IU next weekend and can't wait to see all of the gorgeous houses in person... that was my first demand to the friend I'm staying with. Ya'll have some beautiful houses out there!)

mppVT08 01-07-2007 12:00 AM

Duchovnysfan 01-07-2007 04:48 AM

You have such a wonderful attitude which is very important to have in recruitment. Good luck later today and I'm hoping you get a bid to Laser Lemon, it seemed like a great match all along ;)

*pom poms* Laser Lemon! Yay!

(I believe that I was a cheerleader in my past life lol hence the pom poms;) )

WhiteDaisy128 01-07-2007 12:14 PM

I've been a silent reader of this thread, but I can't WAIT to hear how it ends! When are bids given out?

Bids go out around 1 pm and Bid Day celebrations begin at 3 pm. If she has received a bid, we probably wouldn't hear from her til later tonight.

CuriousWildcat 01-07-2007 01:07 PM

I'll admit, I like to cheat at reading rush stories, and wait untill I think they are over because I get soo into them! Good luck and I hope your bid day is awesome!

<3gpinky<3 01-07-2007 03:01 PM

Hi ladies! Just wanted to say a quick hey! I'm grabbing my coat and running out the door to bid day activities with my new sisters! Can't wait to tell you all about it later. Don't get too antsy waiting to see where I ended up! ;)

beachgirl87 01-07-2007 03:19 PM

YAY! Although I can't wait to hear if you're a lemon or a banana, I'm glad you're somewhere where you're happy.

Go pinky! :)

OhSoVeryLadylike 01-07-2007 07:04 PM

I know evil evil! I was so ready to see where she is a new sister! But, congrats are in order!!

Buttonz 01-07-2007 08:13 PM

Evil! Congrats :)

Guest1 01-07-2007 08:24 PM

Oh come oooooooooooooon! It's 7:30 already! :) Congratulations!!!!

TigerOwl 01-07-2007 08:31 PM

Hopefully we will hear something soon!!! The bid day activities are winding down.
Fun to know she will be a panhellenic sister!

I just heard from another PNM at Indiana. Got her top choice---Pi Beta Phi!! Another happy angel! Her friends were not happy. I know of 2 that received 2 houses for pref, none of which they went to, so they dropped yesterday. I did not know about this until today!!!

carnation 01-07-2007 08:48 PM

Yay for the Pi Phi anyway! *>->-

Ocalagirl 01-07-2007 09:45 PM

I am soo excited to see how her Bid day went and where she went too!! I know she probably had an amazing and exhausting day, but I really hope she posts which fabulous sorority she ended up at!!

PhiMuLady150 01-07-2007 11:32 PM

Ohh goodness...I hope you had a great night with your new sistas!
