The important thing is to be *happy* no matter where you finally end up!

I agree that people should go where they would be happy. Here we have two parties on pref night, and I went to both like a good rushee and kept an open mind to the end, but I knew that I would only be happy in Chi Omega. I love the girls in the other sorority and some of my closest friends are in that house, but I just never connected with them. Anyway, I didn't want to list this second sorority.
At all. And my PX advised against it and said that I might not get a bid unless I was high on the XO list and I might end up regretting it. I decided that I would rather be independant, than be in this other sorority. It just wouldn't be right to
settle for these girls. I really love these other girls too, but I just didn't feel it and couldn't give them everything. So, in the end I suicided for XO, and it worked out great.
Rushees need to go where they feel like they belong. I honestly believe that I would not have regretted being independant if I haven't gotten XO. It is just where I feel at home and I wouldn't have felt right in that other house.
I get so angry with people who pledged GLOs because they want to be like those girls, because they are the most popular with their fav. fraternity, or for some other idiotic reason. Almost all of them have ended up dropping out, and because their pledge time is so short (like 6 weeks) they have been initiated and cannot join a GLO where they really feel at home. It really is sad. OK - that is my two cents worth.
