It was FINALLY the time when we were allowed to pick up our letter—either an invite or a “sorry”. I made my way to the student organization office to pick my letter. My heart was pounding and I was so shaky that I had to sit down before I opened it. So I turned it over and….
I was invited back to preference night that night!!! I was so happy I practically skipped my way home. I then had a few hours to relax, and get ready for the night.
Before I knew it I was in a pretty lil black dress and on my way to the new house, which we would be seeing for the first time that night! As I approach the house I could see that they had candles laid out leading to the door way, it was so cute! Again, I started to get myself a little anxious and worked up, so I was hoping I could just calm down before their ceremony. When we arrived, we were allowed to mingle with other PNM’s and White Sox’s from another school. It was fun talking to them—the girl I spoke with for a while was so energetic, and very relatable. Soon it was time for the cemermony. It was so sweet and calm that I was immediately put at ease. It really was a pretty ceremony…but when I left something just did not feel right…
I guess I had just always heard that when you go to preference you will KNOW that you belong there and you will be so emotional and all this other stuff. Now, don’t get my wrong, I was very happy to be there, and the ceremony was touching, but I just didn’t think I felt how I SHOULD be feeling. This left me very confused. I went home and called another cousin who was a part of ANOTHER sorority at another school that I haven’t mentioned—we’ll call them Cardinals. I told her how I was feeling and she told me not to worry, that what I was feeling was normal! She said that she wasn’t moved to tears by her pref or anything like that—instead she said, the ceremony means a lot more to her now that she is a sister. After talking to her about my concern, it made me realize that I shouldn’t be thrown off because of all the hype. Yes, there are girls who just LOVE their pref, and then there are girls like me who like it, but aren’t in complete awe over it. I decided that if I did receive a bid I would have an entire semester to see if my doubts were justified.
And just for another update, WSPNMs 1, 2, & 3, Grade School Friend, and Mean Girl were all invited back to pref.
my story will conclude in the next post!!!!!! ahh!! i cant wait to tell you all!!!!!!!!!
