I am of course unsure which ones I will be invited back to on pref (I can attend up to 3), and my opinions may very well change after that night. I am sure this happened to many of you when you went through recruitment, so I was wondering how did you know which one to rank first? I feel like I could fit in to all 3 and it is hard to tell if any one likes me more than the others.

What makes it a little more complicated is that I am an upperclassman, and at my school sororities can pledge as many upperclassmen as they want without it contributing to the freshman quota. Since I will appear somewhere on the bid list of every house I pref, and since ups. are seperated but there is no set quota, from what I understand it is almost certain I will get a bid from whichever house I rank first.

Of course, I am aware that it isn't 100%. Anyway this sadly takes a lot of the randomness of bid day away and puts a lot more pressure on me to be certain of which house I want to put first.

How did you know?
That is a tough question.... sometimes it is a feeling, sometimes it is fate. Look around the room, when all the pomp and parties are over, who could you see sitting around in your sweats with? Who are the women that might be in your new member class? Where is it you feel most like yourself? Where do you feel that you can contribute the most?

Here is what I do-- make a list of all of the things you love about each house ( a bullet point list works well) then , what are you priorities ( I make a check list) then compare the two-- usually one comes out on top! The GREAT news is that you like all three so no matter where you end up you will be happy-- what a great feeling congratulations!
