We got back to the student center and our Pi Chi gave us a speech about Prefrence and how important it was to be honest with ourselves and really think about what we wanted, and not what our friends or in some cases our family members wanted. She told us to take our time doing our rankings.
I sat down, the number one was easy: Orchid.
The number four was easy: Sunflower.
Two and three were hard. I thought about the week and although I had always liked Cherry Blossom – something just wasn’t connecting. The girls were nice enough – they seemed to really care about each other, but I didn’t know if I would really truly fit in with them. My friend from high school was a Cherry Blossom and she loved it, but she wasn’t here. Lilac – I had liked all the Lilacs I had met all week. I had liked that I had often seen Lilac’s hanging out with girls from other sororities. I didn’t like that they seemed “cookie-cutterish” and was afraid I would be forced to loose my identity.
I took a deep breath and quickly wrote my choices down and handed it to my Pi Chi before I could change my mind:
1. Orchid
2. Lilac
3. Cherry Blossom
4. Sunflower
As I was leaving I saw Frick she was crying and talking to her Pi Chi…
