I also was torn between two great sororities at the end of rush. I would go to both pref parties if you are invited. A lot can be revealed there emotionally.

Next, I recommend listing everything you know about sorority life. List philanthropy, sisterhood activities, dues, mascots... Everything. Research the National Websites. Get more information. Now, decide which sorority you like better for each item listed. Use your first reaction, because it is usually the truest answer. One sorority should have more check marks and thus you should have your answer.

If this doesn't work, flip a coin. I know people are probably ready to jump out of their seats, but hear me out. If you flip the coin and wish the other sorority had won, you have your answer.

Good luck! Remember sorority is for life and it will have an impact that only an initiated member can truelly understand. I can't stress enough to follow your heart and you will have your heart's desire.

ha ha ha, we MUST be sisters, because I do this ALL the time.

Like Fleur de Lis said - go to both pref parties - a lot of times you go into pref confused and come out knowing exactly what your course is.

i'm going to go to both tonight and see what happens. bid day is tomorrow!

princess doesn't seem to have a pref night. While Emerald's invitation is much more formal tonight, Princess invited me over for a "casual ice cream social"--which means i'll just be getting to know the girls better. I think the fact that these two chapters are handling rush so differently is part of what is making it harder for me---because I can't easily compare them.

I really can't thank you guys enough for your advice. I am / have looked into a lot of their national stuff, and I'm going to write a list of what I like of each. So we'll see where this goes tomorrow, I guess.

I'll update later tonight, I should be back around 9 or so. Maybe.


Thank goodness I found GC...I'd probably be going crazy (or crazier than I am) if I hadn't.
