Sorry to leave you ladies hanging...
The wish in the wishing well was to get a bid to Pi Phi, which I must admit I did feel a little guilty about doing, given that it was into another chapters wishing well!
As for Charlotte - she eventually got over it, and we continued to be friends. Looking back, I know that most of her reaction was just disappointment that I didn't join her house, given that she adored her chapter and we were such good friends. I would have been pretty sad if the same thing had happened to me. But in all honesty, I was just not a good fit for her chapter, and I was even more sure of this after I saw the girls in their new member class from my dorm - perfectly nice gals, but just not women that I could see myself becoming sisters for life with. I did feel bad about hurting her feelings (her roommate told me that she cried her eyes out when I regretted the invitation to preference), but I am so, so glad that I did the right thing for me!
