I preffed Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Xi Delta.
My mom was the AXD chapter advisor at the time and knew that I really wanted GPB (and was, in her opinion, a better fit for that chapter) so my mom bumped the girl who was preffing me and sat down and told me all the things I needed to be looking for in a sorority home - and that it was more important to her that I find those things than worry about legacy.
On my bid day, she came over to where the GPBs had gathered and gave me a teddy bear (AXD mascot) tied with scads of pink and brown GPB ribbon.
That meant so much to me... to this day, I love my pref story and being Greek women is still our common bond, regardless of the house!
