Pref night!
I received two invitations back for pref night, the most you can have. They were green... and pink!! i was ecstatic. I figured if I got an invite back to pref night then I definitely have a good chance of being in pink. As for green I was not so happy..I wished I hadn't gotten dropped by red, and maybe I should have even kept blue. Oh well I had pink and thats all that mattered!
Pink: My first for the night. I was picked up at the door by a girl I had never met before. She said she had heard so much about me and she had to fight with the other girls because they wanted to pref me too. I thought that was a little strange because I was told that we would be preffed by a girl we had clicked the most with during rush. I was the complete opposite of this girl..we didnt have a lot on common. She asked me if I had a boyfriend, which I did and still do, and she said "oh does that mean you would never hang out with us then?" Of course I said no, it wasnt like that at all. She was still nice but I had a weird feeling about it. If they had been matching me all along with girls who were exactly like me, why would they pair me with someone on pref night who I have nothing in common with? I tried to be positive about the situation but now I was very nervous. Pink was very nicely decorated for pref night, and I enjoyed the ceremonies and songs they had. I still knew Pink was the one for me..but was I the one for Pink?
Green: Their pref night activities were nothing compared to pinks, and other houses from what I hear. I really liked the girl I was paired with but once again it was someone I didnt know, with the same story of "I just heard so much about you and wanted to meet you." Can anyone tell me why both houses did this to me? Anyways, I really clicked with this girl, but I hadn't with any of the others during rush so that still swayed my opinion. I wasn't moved at all by the girls who told emotional stories about how much Green meant to them. I knew that was a sign that Green could never be for me.
Then walking back to the student union, I made a very hard decision. I decided to do the thing that all my Rho Chis told everyone not to do...I suicided. Instead of putting down my first choice as Pink, and my second as Green, I put down only Pink and prayed for the best. I thought about it this way, if something happened with Pink and I didnt get a bid, but got a bid from Green and declined it, I wouldnt be eligible for rush until the next fall. I figured if the worst case scenario happened and I didnt get a bid from Pink, then I would still be eligible for COB and formal rush the following year if I wanted.
I was nervous the whole night after that..I couldn't sleep. I was dreading the possibility of getting a call from our greek life advisor, telling me I didnt get a bid. I waited anxiously by the phone....
