Pref Day - Final update
The PNM's have their phones back and Emma has texted.
She has turned in her preferences at the computer lab. As I expected, she still favors the Reds, who have been on the top of her list since Ice Water Teas. She was uncertain how to rank her other two options, as it was basically a toss up between them. She did rank them, and has maximized her options.
I asked her how she felt about the other PNM's who were with her at the preference events, as they may be her pledge sisters, and she seemed OK with them. She gets along well with people so I am confident that she will be OK wherever she ends up.
It is my understanding that by maximizing her options, she is essentially guaranteed a bid by Panhellenic. How they do this, I don't know. Is this where quota additions come into play?
It's been a roller coaster week. Emma has been released by some groups she liked; but she has also released some groups, including some of the so called "top tier" houses. She has followed her heart, wherever it has led her, and I am proud of that.
My wife and I are looking forward to hearing some good news tomorrow, but are somewhat wistful about the fact that we won't be able to be there on bid day to share the occasion with her.
I'll update you when we hear the news.
