DAY 4 - PREFERENCE!
I was so anxious/excited for the Pref round of recruitment. I was starting to feel so comfortable in some of these houses and I couldn't wait to finally call one of the places home!! I anxiously got ready and headed off to get my schedule for the night....
I found my recruitment counselor and my schedule read....
kiwi
watermelon
I was absolutely CRUSHED that I didn't see orange anywhere on the page. The previous day they made me feel like I really was one of them! I was upset and actually started to get a little emotional, which I don't do often. I wasn't about to quit though just because one house didn't ask me back. I kept telling myself, "everything happens for a reason, right?!" I hurried off to kiwi.
At kiwi, I was greeted by a girl I hadn't seen or met all week. She was a very nice girl and we had a great conversation. During the ceremony, I was really touched by what all the girls had to say about being actives in kiwi. They all seemed genuine and I could tell these girls really cared about one another and they all felt at home. I left feeling that this was the place for me.
The final party I would attend was at watermelon. Once again, I was greeted by the same active member I had been paired with ALL week! It was nice that she felt like we connected, and she was a very nice girl, I just really would have liked the chance to meet more actives in this house. The ceremony was touching and these girls seemed genuine as well. I just didn't feel the connection at the watermelon house that I felt at kiwi.
I really didn't think I would be happy with a bid to watermelon, but I also didn't think it would be a good idea to only list kiwi because I didn't want to NOT get a bid somewhere. I decided I wouldn't suicide, and my rankings were:
1. Kiwi
2. Watermelon
I was so nervous for bid day the next morning, I could barely sleep that night..
