Yeah, Im really glad that I got invited to the ones I did, its just a little discouraging that the 4 that I thought I clicked with the most I didnt get asked backto. Its ok though, my gamma chi group and I were talking aobut it and we decided that if a group didnt invite you back then they realize that maybe you wouldnt have fit with them as well as you might have guessed. Its ok, they know their sorority the best and know who will mesh. Im excited to get to go back to the other houses again!

Positive vibes going out to CW and all the PNMs.

You are correct that sororities sometimes make the tough decisions easier for you. That is a great way to look at the situation. Sometimes it is even out of the chapters hands on who they invite back... specificly after the first round of releases (remember that there are a lot of variables and qualifications that each chapter has on establishing their invitation lists and that it might not have been that they didn't click with you as a person.) Hope that makes sense.

Good luck today. May you have fun, be relaxed, and enjoy the skits! May your feet forgive you... someday. Best wishes!

That is definitely true. Your perceptions of each group will most likely change as the week goes on. A sorority that you love on the first day might not be your favorite by the time Pref rolls around. When I went through rush, the first couple days I was absolutely in love with one particular chapter and I was very disappointed when I ended up not being invited back for Pref. But as I got to know each of the chapters' personalities, I was really glad I didn't get invited back--the girls were all super, but that chapter just wouldn't have been a good fit for me. But the ones you've been invited back to are ones that you liked, so that's great! Hope today is just as fun for you.

Wow, that's awesome that the 4 you got back were in your top 8! You have a nice positive attitude about everything, hopefully it shows when you visit the houses tonight.

Well I just got back! I found out that many of the girls only got 3 or 4 invites back, and that makes me feel a little better knowing its not just me . Here's what happened:

Lilac: I really liked this house and I hope that I get invited back for round 2.

Amber: I lliked this house and would like to go back.

Pink: I felt a good connection with these girls and hope to go back.

Green: I really really liked this house and I was really excited about it when I left. I really want to go back here tomorrow.

So tonight we have to narrow our choices from 8 to 6, which Im sure wont be a problem . I hope that I get to go back to all of the houses for round two.
