i'm going to go to both tonight and see what happens. bid day is tomorrow!
princess doesn't seem to have a pref night. While Emerald's invitation is much more formal tonight, Princess invited me over for a "casual ice cream social"--which means i'll just be getting to know the girls better. I think the fact that these two chapters are handling rush so differently is part of what is making it harder for me---because I can't easily compare them.
I really can't thank you guys enough for your advice. I am / have looked into a lot of their national stuff, and I'm going to write a list of what I like of each. So we'll see where this goes tomorrow, I guess.
I'll update later tonight, I should be back around 9 or so. Maybe.
Thank goodness I found GC...I'd probably be going crazy (or crazier than I am) if I hadn't.
