The next morning invitations came out.
I wasn’t invited back to the sheriffs! But I loved them! And I’m smart…don’t they want me?
Needless to say, I was kinda upset. I just didn’t see it coming. But I did get invited back to Bandits and Deputies, both of which I love. I just had kinda come to the conclusion overnight that I would pref Bandits and Sheriffs.
I was still excited to be going to two houses, and since I had “maximized my options” I knew that as long as I listed both on my pref card, I was guaranteed a bid! Hooray!
So that night I put on my pref dress, hose, and heels…..and promptly took the hose right back off (sorry, mom) because it was 98 degrees at 6PM.
My first party slot was open, so I waited in the tent, getting nervous with the other girls.
First I went to the Bandits: Their pref party was so pretty. There was singing, and several of the sisters talked about what the chapter meant to them. I was sitting there thinking that I could really get along here, because even though every sister was her own person, they were all so proud to be Bandits. And they all seemed to be supportive of one another. And of course, I am a Bandit legacy and I knew my mom and her sisters would love it! I mean, the Bandits are an outstanding house on campus, and I would be so proud to wear their letters around.
The next party was the Deputies: Their pref had less ceremony and more one-on-one talking. I talked to a couple of the girls that I had really gotten to know over the week, and they were talking with me about what I could see myself doing in their chapter. They seemed to really want me for me, and had gotten to KNOW me.
I left the Deputy house in STRICT SILENCE and walked to where we were to fill out pref cards. Aaack!
