I took the advice to dress nicer today.. and I wore a black turtleneck, skinny jeans and brown boots. and I wore a pink nova check coat and many sororities said it was cute and I was so happy.

So the following are my feelings about the chapter houses that i had visited.

PINK- I love it. The girl I met in the house was from the same city as I did, so we talked about the city a lot. However, the girl told me that people told her she was only supposed to "greet" only but suddenly people asked her to rush me. So it was her first time to rush people. I asked her lots of questions and I hope she would like me.

PURPLE- I love the house, but the only thing is that I didn't think the girl liked me. At the end of the party the president of this house came to me but we didn't really have a lot of time to chat so I didn't have a chance to impress her.

WHITE- I love the girl I talked to!!! She was so nice and told me so much about the sorority activities. I told her that it's my second time to rush because I didn't get a bid in the fall. She encouraged me and said I should try it again now too. I love her!

BLACK- OKAY, so I talked to about 4 girls and I have no clue whether I impressed them or not. One of the girl that I think she has a really pretty smile seemed very nice, yet I didn't think she liked me. I didn't know why.. it's just my feeling. I love the house though. It's so big.

BROWN- so I actually want to get into this house last fall. However I didn't receive any bid from them. I still love the girls.. I talked to 3 of them and I liked them all. One of the girls I talked to was from the same class with me and I'm gonna see her tomorrow morning!

Well. That's pretty much about it. I do have some preference on PINK, WHITE and BROWN. these are my top choices.
One thing is that. I thought I didn't mention, I rushed in the fall and I didn't receive I bid... I was honest about my situation to many sorority girls, but do u guys think it's a good thing to say? Or the girls would think I'm not good enough to receive a bid in fall and so they didn't want me to be there?
THANKS!

It sounds like you're doing great, and your outfit sounded really cute. Try not to worry about "impressing" any members of the sorority or worry that you didn't get enough time to "impress" the president or whatever. If you're relaxed and yourself you're doing all you can. If you're too focused on impressing the sororities you can look insincere even if you don't mean to be...just don't "try too hard." (I'm sure you're not being insincere or fake but I know it's easy for a nervous PNM to seem like it...just giving you a heads up!)

I can't wait to hear updates, good luck!

Hi everybody.
I was so unhappy today at the beginning because I only received calls from one houses. However, I love the house that invited me back because the girls there are so nice.
I saw the girl that I met in the fall rush and she said she was glad that I came back. The girls are so nice and I really wanna join their sorority!
and tonight they called me back and invited me to go to the pref. nice tomorrow, which is in CHEESECAKE FACTORY. I'm SOOOOOOooo happy that they called because i thought i had no hope (since there's only one sorority asking me to come back)
the greek advisor said if they called me back to their pref nice it's because they really want me to be one of the members. I hope I will get a bid tomorrow!
Anyone can tell me what I should do on pref night?

THANKS!!!!!

Teddybear,

This is great news! Be yourself and be prepared to have more in-depth and "heart to heart" conversations. Now is the time to tell the sorority how much you feel at home with their sisterhood and how you've really enjoyed yourself so far. Keep being yourself and you'll do great. Your greek advisor was right... you were invited back to this group because the women of that sorority see the qualities in you that they look for in a member. Have fun and good luck!

YAY! Go teddybear!

It only takes one...and cheesecake factory is yummy yummy.

Just relax and let them know how much you enjoy hanging out with them, that's all. Enjoy pref day!
