I just knew. I rushed as a sophomore and going in just KNEW I'd be a Theta, since all my friends from freshman year were Thetas. But then I went to Chi O, a house I knew very little about and discovered that I knew many of the girls there--they hung out at the fraternity I was a little sister to, they hung out at the fraternity my boyfriend at the time was in, they were in my classes. ANd my impression of them from these encounters was that they were classy, fun, smart women-- I liked them very much and I never really realized they were all Chi o's so single minded was I in my Theta devotion.
Rush progressed and Theta and Chi O were far and away my favorites, but Chi O had this edge, I can't explain it even now other than to say--I felt 100% comfortable and at home there, it felt good to be there. It was a very hard choice to make, even with that feeling since my friends all thought I'd choose to be a Theta with them. But I have never regretted the choice I made and neither did my friends when I told them and they smiled and said, yeah, we can totally see you there, you're as cool and laid back as all the other Chi O's we know.
