Ok, so I met with my rho chi and found out which three houses I would be going back to for pref night. I opened the envelope and it said...
Natalie Portman, Lindsay Lohan, and Kate Hudson.
So, I got two out of the "top 3." I was a little bit dissapointed, but when I really thought about it, I didn't feel very comfortable in Christina Aguilera in the first place.
So I ran back to my dorm, curled my hair, and changed into my nicole miller for pref night.
As I mentioned before, I had a very important lab from 5:00 pm- 9:00 pm on pref night. I was supposed to be at my first house at 6 pm, so I decided to go to the first hour of my lab, decked out in 4 inch heels, and a tight red dress. Kind of embarassing, especially when I had to excuse myself at 5 to six and run to the sorority quads.
the first house of the night was...
Kate Hudson- their ceremony was really sweet, but I remember not feeling as much as most of the other girls around me. My roommate, who I loved, wanted to be a Kate Hudson sooo badly. During the ceremony, we were sitting in chairs in a circle, and a girl who I knew from going out and considered a friend kneeled down in front of me. She started tearing up and telling me how I had been her rush crush since school started and that she could really see me as her sister. It was really nice, but I knew that out of the three, Kate Hudson was probably my last choice. I left feeling like I really liked the house, but I still had two more parties to go!
Natalie Portman- I had loved Natalie Portman the whole way through recruitment. They were a solid group, a top house, and everything I wanted in a sorority. The first girl that I talked to that night I had met at a fraternity date party earlier in the year. She was really sweet and very supportive. Then I went upstairs and talked to one of my absolute favorite girls. She was gorgeous, so sweet and from a city really close to where I'm from. I loved talking to her and she told me how much she wanted me to be a Natalie Portman. Then she handed me a note from the Natalie Portman I loved the most. My fav. junior couldn't be there, but she wrote me a note just so I'd know she was thinking about me! I still loved the Natalie Portmans, and right now, they were the house to beat.
Lindsay Lohan- I had liked this house the whole time because of reputation, but their pref ceremony was amazing. Seriously. I had never really been able to see myself as a Lindsay Lohan, because, even though they were gorgeous, they all seemed a little conceited. However, during their pref ceremony, something changed. Their president came over to talk to me, and was so sweet. I knew that I would be proud to be a Lindsay Lohan and left the house loving it more than I had throughout all of recruitment.
So, that was it. It was time to vote on the most important decision of my young life, thus far. We made our way through the cold and snow to the building where we would vote. We were split into our rho chi groups, and all the girls were so excited, nervous and loud! I seriously did not know what to do...it was between Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan, the "top" 2 houses on campus. I went to the back of the line, to buy time. When my rho chi called my name to come vote, I still wasn't sure. I had talked to a bunch of girls, who I knew had attended both of their prefs. Some were die hard Natalies and others were positive they were Lindsays. MY rho chi told me to stop talking to everyone else and to think what was best for me...she said it didn't matter how long it took, that she would wait all night for me to be comfortable with my decision.
Finally, after hours of going back and forth I put in my preferences. I decided to go with the house I had loved all along. I voted:
1. Natalie Portman
2. Lindsay Lohan
3. Kate Hudson
I would have to wait two long days to find out if the Natalie Portmans felt as strongly about me as I did them...
