PREFERENCE!
For pref I wore a simple black spaghetti strap dress that was very flattering on me. I accessorized with a very funky matching bracelet, necklace, earrings set. It was beaded chunky gold beads so I thought it was cool and made me stand out from the pearls and diamonds everyone was sporting.

D&B- I went to D&B first. The beautiful house was all decorated. We went into the living room and I talked to one of the girls I knew from high school. She was very sweet and told me how excited they were to have me back. We were given a pearl on a ribbon to wear around our necks (taken back later). We weren’t seated at tables just around the room and it was slightly awkward with a plate, three mini cheesecakes and a glass of punch. Then they performed a ceremony and the President and a senior talked. They had us stand up and they sang Circle of Friends and asked us to join their circle of friends. We then went through another really pretty room where our rusher talked to us one on one and said goodbye. I thought this preference was very pretty and I was honored that D&B might like me so much but it didn’t really touch me.

Coach-We walked into Coach and sat for turtle cheesecake and punch while we conversated. I was rushed by a quiet older sister. I told her how much I loved Coach and she was very sweet to me and made me feel comfortable without breaking any rush rules. After the refreshments we went into the living area and we were given candles, the chapter performed the ceremony and it was beautiful. I was touched, I cried and I just knew that I belonged in Coach. Even though it wasn’t the biggest or best house on campus maybe I could make it better. I loved these girls and I felt 100% comfortable here. Also one of the chapter members wax catcher thing caught on fire in the middle of the pref ceremony! The women handled it so well, they laughed and stomped it out and then went on with the rest of pref. It made me realize how REAL these girls were.

Back to the student center. Signing my bid card was not a hard decision for me. I ranked them

• Coach
• D&B
• Kate Spade
• LV

You might be surprised by my ranking for Kate Spade and LV. In all actuality I only wanted to put Coach and D&B but the Greek Advisor told me I had to put all four or I wouldn’t get a bid. Blatant lie by a horridly inexperienced Greek Advisor. Because LV had cut me and Kate Spade had still invited me back I ranked them KS, LV. But I knew in my heart I would only accept bids from Coach or D&B

Krystle ranked

• Coach
• D&B
• LV
• Kate Spade

Andrea ranked

• LV
• Coach
• D&B
• Kate Spade

We were not told anything about getting a call if we hadn’t got a bid so we were all SUPER nervous for Bid Day!

Side note- Best Friend came home this day and was very weirded out that I decided to Rush at the last minute. But after we talked about it she was happy for me and a great friend through the last two days!
