Our FMR is made up of 3 parties, one per week, and Bid Day is the day after Preference.

First Party: My party order was XYZ, ABC, and DEF.
First round: I talked to 5 women, including the President. I still had a high opinion of them from their pre-party and it didn't change. I enjoyed my time there, and I also liked the organization's values as a whole. The only thing that threw me off was that most of them seemed to be athletes and I'm not sports-like.
Second Round: I enjoyed the people I talked to, but didn't feel as much of a click. They have the highest average GPA of all Greek chapters at my school, and their academic support system intrigued me greatly.
Third Round: Once again, I felt no relationship forming between me and the members. This chapter is the newest one and numbers are still small.

Second Party (order: DEF, XYZ, ABC)
First Round: We played a board game with trivia questions related to the organization. I still felt no click with the two people at my table, but I did enjoy getting to know one of them.
Second Round: My conversations with them weren't as good as they were before. Once again I ended up speaking with the President, but I didn't feel as comfortable this time around. They video taped a skit, but it didn't appeal to me.
Third Round: I fell in love with ABC. Their skit was so creative and showed off the talent of the group. One of my counselors from the summer thing got to talk with me, and that was very nice. I ended up with the President of this group, and I liked her but didn't feel a strong click.

Second Party cemented my decision: I knew I wanted to be a Greek.

Preference Party (I was invited back to all three in the order ABC, XYZ, DEF):
First Round: I ended up talking with the President again for the whole time. I was disappointed because I felt I wanted to meet other sisters I could relate with better (there were plenty I had met before). The candle ceremony was so meaningful and beautiful. Unfortunately I was clumsy and knocked over my dessert cup and got Oreo crumbs on the table.
Second Round: Conversations were good, and I felt really comfortable. One of the women didn't seem too interested in talking to me.
Third Round: Conversation was better than in previous times. The Preference ceremony was so beautiful and involved both PNMs and Actives. I was preffed by both the woman I had slightly better conversation with the week before and the President. I still felt no click whatsoever.

I deliberated between ABC and XYZ for a while, and put DEF down as my third choice. I didn't want to snub them and based on the previous parties, I felt confident I would get a bid from one of the other two. I put ABC as my first choice because I knew I would fit in.
