I woke up to Preference round anxious and nervous. It was getting out to the end, and I didn't want to get dropped after putting so much time, effort, and energy to rush! I kept checking my phone every second, as usual, to make sure that I didn't get a call from my Rho Chi saying I was released. When I received word that all calls were made, I was excited! I was hoping that I would get invited back to both South Korea and the Netherlands! I stepped out of my dorm room with a cute peach colored dress and a pair of nude heels. I was ready for this day!
When my Rho Chi gave me my card I saw:
South Korea
The Netherlands
I was ELATED that both houses invited me back! I also texted my roommate to see which houses invited her back, and she was also invited back to South Korea and The Netherlands!
South Korea- This was the first house I went to. They had a wonderful little welcome ceremony, and I could feel the passion for their sorority. I even cried, because it was so touching and wonderful to see/hear. I want be a member of this group SO bad.
The Netherlands- I went to this house next. Their ceremony was also very touching, and I felt a connection. But, I still had South Korea on my mind. I realized that I would also fit in very well at this house, and I almost cried during this ceremony, too!
When it came time to vote, I knew exactly which one would be my number one and my number two. I didn't suicide because I would be so happy at either house, and both of them are great houses. I realized that I just survived the biggest rush EVER, starting out with 2000 girls. I was so proud of myself that I made it that far, and I knew that I was about to accomplish something huge!
The worst part was waiting to go in and vote. Seemed like forever! My decision was:
1. South Korea
2. The Netherlands
I walked out of voting feeling wonderful. I was so excited to be able to enjoy myself on bid day the next morning!
