Not true. No matter what your RC told you.

ETA: Many Panhels train their RCs to make the impression that if you Single Intentional Pref, that you will not get a bid, the computer will kick you out, etc...and it's simply not true. Also, many RCs are misinformed, so it might not have been intentional that she "made you" list both, she might not know any better herself.

It's a moot point now, because it's done, but for future reference....

Whether you get Daisy or Carnation, I know you'll enjoy Greek Life to the fullest!

Some "sisterly" advice: I know Daisy is number one, and I hope you get your first choice. But do keep in mind there's a possibility that you will get Carnation (#2). Be prepared. If you decline a bid, you can't rush until next school year. So if you get #2, at least go to Bid Day and stick it out for a little while. You may end up really enjoying yourself!

Whatever you decide, though, just be happy and have fun! Life's too short!

Good luck! About 15 minutes left until bids are given out - I hope you become a proud new member of Daisy, but I also hope that if you get a bid to Carnation, you will give it a chance. Sending you lots of good luck vibes!!!

You know, I thought about that right after I posted...ah, well. I guess I'll just have to live in anticipation.

What schools are still doing recruitment out here? All the AZ schools are done. USC done. UCLA is done.
But then again I'm thinking "big schools" (ie. I know their name) and there's TONS of schools in Cali that I have no idea about. LOL.

SwtSerenity, it's the positive attitude you have going through this recruitment that makes recruitment stories worth reading.

Good luck to you and Daisy, but it really does sound like you've achieved so much already. All the best to you!

swtserenity · #11 10-10-2006, 04:39 PM

hello!!! i'm done with classes for the day and i thought i stop by and chit chat.

my rho chi insisted that we must sign bids for both houses. actually, many/most rho chis that day echoed the same thought. there were many girls panicing about their decision to sign or not. they wanted to sign for their #1 pick; however, did not want to do so for their 2nd choice.

yes, i am at a school on the west coast!! and yes, it's CALIFORNIA!!

only 3 more hours to go. that's a long time to sit here and wonder, so i'm off to do some laundry.

FSUZeta · #12 10-10-2006, 05:24 PM

excitedly waiting to hear your news, and keeping all things crossable crossed for good luck!!

Thats odd, its one thing to put your choices on your preference card but I've never heard of being told to sign bid cards for all. from what I understood you still have the option of declining the bid if its given to you. Signing bid cards before you know if you got the house you want seems a bit off. Maybe thats just how my school does it...anyone else know more about this?

ETA: Being a student at a cali school I know most are done but there are a few schools that still have recruitment later in the semester, mainly because they start later (end of sept). A friend of mine goes to UC Riverside and I believe they just went through recruitment.
