That is really cool that so many of your new sisters preffed the same chapters-- shows you are a cohesive group! Remember that it is an honor to pref at a house-- it does mean they have a strong interest in you and you can always take that with you-- it isn't an outright rejection. I know it would be nice to get the number one pick, but as you said you are seeing where things may have fallen in place for the best for you!
I'm glad you're liking Chi Omega and getting excited about it. It sounds like the chapter is very happy to have you as a new member! And being where you are wanted is a very nice place to be, indeed!

Alpha Chi's pledge class seems fairly big to me and there are a few girls i love in it, but also a few girls that I'm really suprised about ( aka the girl who openly admitted she was purposfully a bitch to every other chapter and the girl who swallowed and then semi chocked on her on gum) so all in all maybe it really wouldnt have been the right place for me. I think I was partially set on my cousin's friend and what the chapter was like when she was there, and I'm not sure that thats what it is anymore. I also think that maybe, i dont remember who wrote this, but that I didn't give the other chapters enough of a chance because I had my mind set on alpha chi. I had a really good time tonight and I looooove our bid day shirts lol. I was so happy to see how happy everyone was to see us and I can't wait to keep going back to the house and move in in January. I also realized that if I wasn't high enough on Alpha Chi's list with my cousins recommendation then I probably would have been even lower without it and so I guess I just wasn't what they were looking for, but I was what ChiO was looking for. I'm also suprised that the recruitment conselor told me that if I SIP'd that i couldnt do anything for a year if that was not true but in the end It seems i found the place for me anyways, and I like that it's all my own, not my cousins since I seem to follow in her footsteps alot. Sorry this is so long I guess I had more to write than I thought lol. But thank you for all your support and I am going to try very hard to remain active on this board.
