Thank you, angelove!!!
Yeah, I never really knew how IFC did it until now. My daughters and I told him what we did at prefs but we knew no way would he be at any beautiful ceremonies where people threw pearls in fountains or picked carnations from gardens...
So after Tall Son's second pref party, Blazercheer and I were standing in a Verizon store transferring over the family phone account. We asked if our numbers would stay the same and the guy said, "Yep! They're transferred now!" and we said, "Wait a minute! We wanted it done tomorrow, after we overnight Tall Son's phone to him!" Too late. He was phoneless until he got his new phone today and we had no idea what happened at prefs and later until a few hours ago.
He said that at the pref parties, guys mainly stood around and talked to each other. (No tearjerking songs to the tune of "Today"?) He enjoyed all 3. However, the big deal legacy fraternity wasn't as warm as the others; he felt like the guys were kind of off to themselves, waiting for rushees to approach them rather than coming up and telling them about how much the brotherhood meant to them and why they chose that one.
He still felt more at home with the medium-sized groups. One had a member from our city and another had guys with ties to people he knew. They both emphasized scholarship, which he liked.
Bid Day would come the next day and he thought he knew whose bid he would sign.
