okay so here's a brief description of the 7 sororities i visited:
green: this was the sorority that i was in love with last year. i was paired with a girl who was really nice but i just didn't feel the same vibe i did last year. i knew i wanted this sorority for the wrong reasons. however i was still willing to give them a chance, i was just really interested in seeing the other sororities.
blue: i really, really liked these girls. they were so genuine and funny. the girl i talked with was so sweet and our conversation went so smoothy. i could see myself fitting in here!
yellow: this was the sorority that i went to for COB the year before. i already knew i didn't belong here, but i was polite and got through it without much awkwardness.
red: this sorority was interesting. all of the girls were so different and didn't seem to have a very good bond in my opinion. the girl i talked to seemed totally uninterested and didn't smile the entire time...she barely made eye contact. i left feeling confused.
purple: i really enjoyed this sorority alot too. the girl i was with was funny and made me feel so comfortable. the time just flew by and i felt good when i left this sorority.
orange: this sorority seemed really sweet. i knew a few girls in here and liked them, but i didn't know if it was the right fit for me. however, the girl i talked to was nice but i still just didn't get that sense of belonging. i still wanted to give them a chance though.
brown: these girls seemed chill. came off as a little boring but i was still interested. the girl i was with was very relaxed and our conversation was light but good.

at the end of the day i ranked them like this:
blue
purple
orange
brown
green
yellow
red

the next day i anxiously awaited my schedule. finally, my rho called and told me i had been invited back to 5 parties and could come get my schedule and get started. i was so happy! i got my schedule and was invited back to: blue, purple, orange, green, and red.

my opinions pretty much stayed the same. i could see myself in blue or purple but i didn't want to get my hopes up and still had an open mind! red was a let down again but i could tell the girls were trying a little harder. green was rushing me so hard and i couldn't believe it! i had wanted them so bad the year before and didn't get them, and now they wanted me? i was so confused. but i trusted my instinct and ranked them in the same order that night.

finally, round 3 rolled around. i was so nervous but prepared for whatever happened. to my shock and delight, i got invited back to blue, purple, green, and red. i was a little saddened that orange had cut me but i was thrilled that blue and purple still wanted me. the parties went really well. green was being so nice and acting like they really, really wanted me. i was so confused!! blue and purple were tied in my mind and red was still at the bottom. i really struggled with where to rank green but at the end of the night i decided to rank blue and purple as my top 2 for pref. night.

i was thrilled when my rho told me that i got invited back to my top 2 for pref night!!! i was beyond proud of myself and so happy. i had worked so hard and finally it seemed like it was really going to happen for me.

I have to add something else.

Isn't it amazing how a year can change your perspective? I think it shows a lot of maturity to recognize that you want a group for the wrong reasons but still give them and all the other houses a chance. You never know what can reveal itself when you keep an open mind...in this case, purple and blue!

I like your story.
