It wasn't that the sister I spoke to on Pref Night was the only one who seemed disinterested, the sister who picked me up the first day was the exact same way.

I was not promised a bid from any house ever. There was always the "hopefully we see you tomorrow!" said but never anything that gave me false hope about being invited back.

And I talked to my RG about what I should do in regards to my options for Pref Night and she advised me to not suicide, but rather list all my options (which was what I did-now I wish I had suicided).

Then why would you say "I've already found a home elsewhere?"

And it was 2 sisters (out of however many) who seemed disinterested? And for one of them, that was after you basically said "I'm just here for the food"?

Just trying to understand.

But again, a couple of bad rushers does not a bad chapter make. Not to mention, you told the active on Pref that you weren't interested in her house. How interested in rushing you was she supposed to be?

I'm working on the assumption that you knew before you signed the card that if you got a bid but did not accept it you would be bound for one year. So despite what your RG said, I don't understand listing the chapter you knew you wouldn't accept a bid from. I was advised not to suicide as a freshman PNM, but did so anyway because (at the time) I thought I would ONLY be happy in my chapter and was willing to risk not getting a bid rather than getting a bid from my second choice and being bound for a year. If you know, don't list.
