Good luck!! I'm rooting for Libra since its the closest to me.

Have a great time tomorrow night.

It's okay not to like a house, as long as you don't like them for the right reasons. Don't feel like you have to like a house because they are all so nice, etc.

I really hope Pref night helps you sort out how you feel.

Good luck on your invites! I have to admit that the whole time I've been reading your thread that song from the musical Hair has been going through my head! "This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius..."

I had the dance scene from The 40 Year-Old Virgin in my head when they sing it at the end.

Good luck KitKat! How many chapters can you visit tonight?

Ok so I went and picked up my invites today. We are allowed to go to up to 3 houses. I was invited back to Aquarius, Libra and Pisces. I was cut from Gemini. I was suprised they cut me and almost dissapointed because so far they were my second choice. I am getting ready to go to prefs right now. I am going to ask my recruitment conselour is I can only put 2 houses on my preference card after tonight because I've wanted to cut Pisces throughout the whole recruitment and just haven't had a chance. I also haven't felt that I've really connected to anyone in Libra so, I know I'll prob get crap for this buut, I am gunna try to make not as good of an impression on them tonight. I dont plan to be mean but, i know that if they put me high up on there list and there my 2nd on my preference card I might get a bid from there and Im pretty sure I wouldn't want to accept it. So I'm still really hoping and praying for aquarius and I'm gunna try realllly hard there tonight.

Good luck tonight at Aquarius.

Be careful at Libra....tonight might just toatally change your mind. Pref night has a way to doing that sometimes

Have a good time tonight, I'm sooo excited for you!

hmmm, should I add a disclaimer to that statement?

"While ADPiUCF recognizes the right of all PNMs to SIP, she in no way advocates the spread of terorrism or in the joining of terrorist cells."

Well tonight was pref night. First of all it turned out I just couldn't get myself to be "not as nice" or whatever to Libra or Pisces. I did tell Libra that I'm worried about how far away there house is from campus, but thats as much as I could do. And when at Pisces they asked me if I was comfortable at the house, I of course said yes because i felt like it was just mean to say no. I'll start off by telling you about my night then I'll tell you about my pref card. O and let me just add it started raining as soon as pref night started so that sucked lol
My first house tonight was...
Libra- They were very nice to me there but I still didn't really feel a connection. The girl I was with told me she thought I'd really fit in to there sorority and things like that, but a majority of the people I talked to in my group were told the exact same thing. There ceremony was nice.
Next was..
Aquarius- I was of course very happy to be here. The person that was with me had actually never met me before but she asked a few people about me and wrote me a really nice letter and read it to me. When she asked me about who I'd met in the sorority and stuff I made sure to mention that I had loved everyone I had met. It was also the only house where i felt i was involved in the conversation instead of being talked at. I loved there ceremony and almost cried during it. I would love to be a sister here and this confirmed it for me.
Last was...
Pisces- When i went there I talked to the same girl i had had the night before. She was very friendly and nice. There ceremony to be honest...really did nothing for me. And that kind of confirmed for me that it really wasn't the right place for me. Although the people were nice, nothing really moved me.

So after my 3 houses I went to fill out my preference card. I talked to a recruitment conselour and she said if I wanted I could only put one house down. But I knew that if I did that and did not receive a bid I still could not rush for a year. So i decided to put Aquarius as my number one and Libra as my number 2 because I decided that if I got a bid from them I'd probably really have to think about it, but I could maybe give them a chance. I did not put Pisces on my card because I knew i would not accept a bid from them. I am defintley hoping and praying that I end up at Aquarius but I know I've done all I can do and I'll have to just wait and see what happens tomorrow.

Also..a girl I was talking to said she was in a local sorority at her school last year and that is why she is able to go through rush here this year..I was just wondering what people thought of that.

NutBrnHair · #13 09-19-2006, 10:52 PM

When will you find out tomorrow?

We all wish you the best!

(Oh, and in answer to your last question about the girl who was in a local going through...That's fine -- it's accepted, welcomed -- it's fine.)

That is incorrect. If you SIP and don't get a bid, you are not eligible to be a quota addition. You are eligible for COB.

Someone at your school needs to review the NPC Unanimous agreements.
