After seeing what happened at pickup on skit day, LilPNM was feeling less confident about picking up her pref invites. She felt that she would have at least one of her favorites, but feared that she would lose one. When her rho chi handed her her schedule, she was surprised and relieved:
ABC
DEF
She had her top two choices!

I don't know many details about the pref parties. LilPNM said they were both incredible. At this point, she knew she loved both chapters and was trying to decide how she would make her final decision.
ABC: Again, the house looked so beautiful, and all the girls were stunning. Looking around the room, all the PNMs present were stunning as well. LilPNM was preffed by her friend. She left still loving ABC.
DEF: She said this party was a lot like ABC's, which didn't help her decision much! She had a good conversation with the girl who preffed her here. These girls just seem so genuine and sincere to LilPNM.

Afterwards, LilPNM walked back with the other girls to do her final ranking. The girls were told not to speak with one another (which I had never heard of, but it seems like a good idea). LilPNM was so torn. She truly loved both houses, though she loved different things about each one. She also felt that the girls in each house really wanted her. If she chose DEF, she knew her friends in ABC would be disappointed. ABC is a "top" house. But DEF is also a strong house, and for some reason, LilPNM just feels more comfortable there. LilPNM's rho chi just said, "Follow your heart."
Finally LilPNM wrote:
DEF
ABC
She left feeling that it was a win-win, either way.
