stick it out through pref. i would also encourage you to consider your reasons for not liking those two houses. i am not asking you to post your replies, but just give it some thought. do you feel uncomfortable at those houses because of negative things you have heard people say about them (they are the smallest, they are unpopular, anyone can get a bid there, etc. etc. etc)? do you feel uncomfortable there because the girls you talked to did/ said something terrible (made fun of other rushees, said your hair looked like a rats nest, etc.)? look at the reasons why you felt more comfortable at the other house...could it be the girls you talked to at the other house were more outgoing or you had more in common with them than perhaps the ones you met at the other houses? in the end, you should make your decision based on what you feel is best for you. i wish you luck! i have heard great things about all of the chapters there.

if you decide after the pref parties and after really looking at why you didn't feel comfortable there that you truly are not a fit, then don't fill out a pref card. then you will be eligible to participate in cob.
