indecisive recruitment help

hi girls
i'm going through recruitment right now and tomorrow is bid night. right now i'm torn between two houses that i absolutely LOOOVE. and really hoping, crossing my fingers, praying to death that they don't cut me.
but i was just wondering if you lovely ladies have any suggestions on how to help me decide which house to pick. like what kinds of questions you asked yourself or did you just go with your gut feeling.
thanks.

Some might suggest that "you just know." I did. But that doesn't always happen. Some suggestions:

Take a look around at the other PNMs at each Pref party. These will be your sisters and the girls you'll spend a lot of time with. There might be some overlap in the crowd, but think about the other PNMs you've met going through Recruitment. You might have clicked with some and clashed with others. Look for those girls during Pref.

Think about which sorority is "the real you." Where will you be the most comfortable hanging out in your pajamas eating ice cream? If you love both but are intimidated by one, you might consider going with the one where you feel more relaxed.

If you still love both equally, maybe you should look closely at their philanthropies. Perhaps one is closer to your heart? You might also read their creed, open motto, purpose, history etc. Something just might click for you.

Still a draw? Then don't worry about it. You'll probably be happy at either one.

Good luck!

If you get both of them for preference and you are STILL torn after preference, get out a sheet of paper, and write down what is important to you in a sorority. Then write down pros, cons, and how each sorority matches up to what is important to you. Sometimes, seeing it on paper can help you to rationalize your thoughts.

Wonderful advice!

You might also look at where the growth might lie. In other words, sorority membership should, in the ideal world, help you grow into a strong, capable, caring woman who is able to both lead and work as a team member.

Is there one group that might challenge you more? Ask more of you? Stretch you more? Take you places you might not otherwise go? That might be a group to consider.

Good Luck!

Think about being dumped by your boyfriend of 3 years at dinner one night. You sob uncontrollably as you get into your car and drive to the sorority house with your make up running down your face. When you knock on the door, which girls would you want to answer it?
