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

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

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!

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!

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 ;)

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.
