My little sister's rush at UNH

[GreekGirl604]

O.K. So tonight was Preference and here's what my sister told me after she filled out her pref card:

"I picked 'Lauren' first then 'Kristin' second. I knew every night that I def wanted to back to 'Lauren' and at first I didn’t even want to go back to 'Kristin' so I took that as a sign. At 'Lauren' tonight they gave us cookies with our names on them (in frosting)and it was just so much more personal…the time flew by and I dunno I think I had more fun there. I liked 'Kristin' too but I dunno I didn’t have any bad experiences at 'Lauren' and I had that one bad night at 'Kristin'."

So she absolutely loved 'Lauren' all three nights and right now we're hoping that at 11 a.m. tomorrow that's what the name on her bid will be. I know she'd be happy at 'Kristin' too, she's already got a lot of friends in that house. But I truly feel that now she understands what I meant when I told her that after prefs she would walk out of a house and "just know" that's where she belonged.

Here's what she said about it:

"They come down to the group and are like " I would like to welcome ___ to 'Lauren' pref night" then you go inside and they had a table set up specifically for you and my girl brought down things that were special to her like her bids day tshirt and stuff her big made her and stuff. Then they go in a room and are like "sisters of 'Lauren' I would like to present my friend ____" and then they say this chant Then 4 sisters go around and talk about what the different symbols are and stuff and one girl read a poem about being in a sorority and another one wrote a letter (she’s a senior) about what her experiences were like. And before all this they go around and light your candles, and then after its done you talk to your pref girl for a little longer and then leave. It was nice though."

So everyone keep your fingers crossed...She's gonna call me as soon as she gets her bid, but I'm pretty sure I know what it will be...I think I might be more excited than she is!
