Now she had a quandary or thought she did. She had decided that if she got Root Beer Floats and Donuts for preference she was going through with this thing all the way because she would accept a bid to either one. If she got Donuts and Brownies she thought she would drop out and apply(? not sure if that's the word) for the colony because she didn’t see herself at Brownies and she liked Donuts but she didn’t think she felt strongly enough about them. She had no idea what she would do if she got Root Beer Floats and Brownies for preference. She was worried that if she went to both preference parties, but got a bid to Brownies (which she felt she would turn down), she couldn’t apply for the colony. She thought (she doesn’t know to this day if this was the case) that if she single preferenced and didn’t get a bid, she still would not be eligible for the colony. I don’t THINK this is accurate from what I remember reading on here, but she thought it was at the time.

She spent Monday morning in class, stressed about it. Her Rho Gamma had to let her know before practice where she was preffing, so she could meet them at the chapter house. She texted at 2:30 – Root Beer Floats and Donuts. She called me happy and relieved for once. She knew that one way or another she would be in a chapter she liked tomorrow.

I know from the stories on here that sometimes preference changes minds. In her case it solidified what she knew. Donuts had a lovely ceremony, and she knew if she got a bid here she would be good, but she felt special at Root Beer Floats. She felt like they went all out. They called the girls in individually. The layout/food was beautiful. Her rusher talked to her about why they liked her and what they loved about their chapter. She isn’t a crier, so she didn’t do that, but it was meaningful to her. She wanted Root Beer Floats badly.
