Good for you for going. Pref can totally change your mind about a sorority. You may have just had someone there yesterday you didn't connect with, but there could be so many others you connect with that you will see at pref. Just take in the whole pref ceremony and see if you could visualize yourself as a sister of this sorority. Sometimes you can surprise yourself and end up at home in the last place you thought you'd be :) Good luck.

i can't say anything that hasn't been said before, but i do want to wish you the best of luck with your decision!

I think I am late on this one, because I think it has already played out, but I want to point out that this is important. Take a look at the girls who would be your new pledge sisters, not just the women already in the house.

to echo all the others...go to pref if you get the chance. look at the whole picture and then see where you want to go. things sometimes look different in another context.

That is exactly what I did, and you are right. The could-be new members are all a cool bunch of girls that I could see myself being really cool with, and some I already am. So yeah feeling much better.

So yeah obviously I had a good time tonight. It was amazing. I felt great throughout the ceremony and actually really happy. I talked to one of the girls I really clicked with earlier on and we talked the whole night. We actually have some mutual friends that we work out with, so we are going to all work out together. I just really had a great time talking to her.

Yes I know what u mean by wanting a more diverse group. And true some people gravitate to people like them. I came from a predominantly white area, and most of my friends were white. So I gravitate to people who are like me, and don't look at race. So having 1 minority girl will not just bring more into your group. But stereotypes are out there. And my dad was an immigrant so that doesn't even change it. He came from Ghana in Africa when he was 19. So yes I have a direct connection to Africa and embrace it by joining the African organization, but that doesn't change where I feel comfortable. Sorry to rant, but I just hate when people assume things about me because I am a minority. No I'm not from the ghetto, I don't cuss, I don't like rap music, and I don't eat fried chicken all the time. I am just me, and true to myself for the most part.

Now back to the important situation. I did my pref card tonight. We actually do everything by computer so I have no idea whats going to happen. Then told us that we could put anyones from today and yesterday in the top two spots, and to put all 4 down.
I ranked them like
PepperAnn
Doug
Lizzie
Braceface.

I don't know if that was the best decision to put Doug second, bc now I think I like them best. Oh well. I will just see what happens tommorrow at 10. If anybody doesn't get a bid they find out earlier so I would know b4 10. Hopefully I do though. I know being in any NPC Sorority is an honor and I hope I can gain that. I really hope I get to run down that hill tommorrow.

Thanks soooooooooooooooooo much for all of your advice. I can't even imagine what would have happened without it. I might not have even rushed. I am soooooo happy I finally went through with it, and wish I would have earlier. But that is what happens. So yeah send good vibes my way. I am sooooo excited.

I'm so glad you chose to attend Doug's pref party. You have succeeded at keeping an open mind during recruitment, and hopefully you'll be rewarded with a bid. Good luck.:)


PS- I don't curse, fight, or eat fried chicken constantly either. Stereotypes are so silly. :p

Good for you for hanging in there!! Let us know what happens!

whatever happens, you did the right thing and finished the journey. glad doug's pref was positive and you had a good time. now, hopefully no early phone calls and you can see what the next step is.

noone will ever know which order you ranked the sororities, so don't fret about that. i hope you have good news this a.m.

*good vibes* way to keep an open mind :) Hope you have a great day no matter what happens.

I don't fight, but I do cuss and eat fried chicken- and I really like rap music- but I am white, is that okay?
-- just trying to point out that stereotyping is beyond overrated.

Good luck with bid day and as weird as it sounds evrything works out in the end for the right reasons- whether you get Doug or PepperAnn. Finding a home is an incredible thing!

Good Luck sweetie!!!!!!


Sending positive vibes your way that you get you top choices of Pepperann or Doug.




Let us know when you can!!!! Inquiring minds have to know. LOL.

I am so happy that you enjoyed the pref party!!!! I have to say that just by reading this thread, I know that ANY of those 4 organizations would be LUCKY to have you as a member!

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping that you get your home! Can't wait to find out how it went. :)

Best of luck today. You sound like a great young lady with alot of common sense and a very bright future. Hope the day goes just as you hope.

Well its 9:05 and I havent gotten any messages so I think I got a bid. I can't wait. I will definately update as soon as possible. Thanks again to all of u who have been more then supportive. ;)
