That sounds like a great pref ceremony.

I remember with Kappa, sitting in the dimly lit chapter room which had been decorated with tulle and christmas lights, listening to a member from each pledge class explain what Kappa meant to them. At our place was an antique key and on our way out the door we were to put them in a treasure chest/wishing well.

I don't remember much about Alpha Gam's pref; I think we had roses at our place that we put in a vase before we left.

I remember ADPi's, but mostly because I went through it 3 more times as an active. KD's ceremony was the most memorable to me. I LOVED their pref - I actually listed them first on my bid card, then had a change of heart later that evening and had my Greek Life Guide switch my #1 to ADPi.

I remember absolutely nothing about Chi O's pref.

My preference night was a LOOOOOOOONG time ago. We were down to 2 houses that night and I received 2 invitations. I have no memory of the other house except that they made me feel special and wanted, but I knew I was not going to pledge there even if I was offered a bid. I started rush with no intentions of staying past the first day parties since that was the rule to stay in the dorm during rush. I had planned to drop after the first day and spend the rest of the week at the beach. Well... KD was my first house that first day and I fell instantly in love. Decided I would then stay in rush until KD dropped me (I had been the HS geek, so why would anyone want to extend a bid to me????). The only thing I remember about KD's rush was that the sisters were wearing long black dresses and the young lady who was rushing me asked me what I wanted in a sorority and I bluntly told her "This house." I am now serving my 3rd year as my AA president, and VP for a consortium of AA's in Southern CA for KD so I must have made the right decision.

Hehe, I didn't get to see my sorority's pref ceremony until my SOPHOMORE YEAR as an active because I got dropped from recruitment but snapped up by TD (lucky me!). I love our pref ceremony. I cried myself during! We always rent out this cute little church hall, and with the decorations, it was perfect. We also introduce the sister BEFORE us, not ourselves...and that was really touching, because I think it demonstrates how well we know eachother.

I didn't cry when I was preffed, but I have cried when I've preffed certain girls (and everytime I've cried while preffing a girl, she's always ended up being a DG...haha)

I remember very little about the Alpha Xi Delta pref ceremony. I think it involved roses, and possibly a scroll?

I do remember leaving the AXiD pref ceremony arm in arm with Jen and Allie, two girls with whom I pledged Pi Phi later that evening. The three of us had been at the Pi Phi ceremony before the AXiD one. I distinctly remember the looks that passed between us, signifying that we knew where we were going.
