Alright! So tonight was so freakin' amazing and fun! It definitly made everything very clear

I started my night off with Cinderella, their house was decorated so BEAUTIFULLY! like the most amazing thing I have ever seen. However I just was not feeling it, the girls are very nice and I have the utmost respect for them and their chapter but I left feeling like I would fit better somewhere else.

Then it was off to Ariel!! Their house was really pretty and it was just FANTASTIC. I had such a great night there, my best friend got to rush me most of the night! I knew it was the place for me when I walked in and all of the girls said hello and new my name. Everyone looked so gorgeous in their pref dresses! It was really cute because they had cupcakes with everyones names written on them. Their pref ceremony was very sweet and I almost teared up a little bit. Before I left one of my favourite girls came up and gave me a hug, and so did my best friend. Also the president came up and I talked to her for a bit and she was really glad that I had come back tonight and it was just an overall amazing night. I walked out of the house knowing that this was it!

So then all of us girls headed back to fill out our pref cards. Even though I knew who I wanted to rank number one for sure I wasn't sure if I should put anyone else. There were four spots so we could rank houses even if we were cut from them. I knew it'd be wrong to put Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty because if I got a bid from them I would not accept it. As well, even though Belle had cut me I still really liked their house, so I put them down as well even though I know it would be very unlikely for me to recieve a bid.

My preference (in order of course):
Ariel
Belle

Tomorrow I go back to the Panhellenic office and to see if I got a bid..11 more hours of nerve-wracking torture left!

I'll probably update tomorrow or the next day depending on when I can get computer access!

I am delighted you had such a good time at Pref. But, I'm confused about adding Belle. It's been a while, but I don't recall that its an option to be on the bid list from someone you had not attended at Pref.

Yeah I was confused to, but they said we could rank all four of the houses, even if we were cut by them, and not to put down any houses that we would not accept a bid from. So....that was those two! ahaha

i'm heading to the office in about two hours....I'm incredibly nervous and so scared I didn't get a bid.

Surely they would call you if you didn't get a bid . . .??? . . . so here's hoping you have a wonderful bid just waiting for you!

I've noticed a lot of schools with smaller Greek communities do this.

Good luck princess!
