My preference round schedule was...
All three asked me back! I was very excited to go back to Dragonite for sure, and test the waters on Moltres and hoped that Vileplume would impress me more this time.
First I went to Dragonite. Their ceremony was so beautiful. I'm the type of person that if I see someone crying, I will start to cry...yeah, I was basically an uncontrollable mess. I knew that this was the place for me. I feel like I almost came on a little too creepy, but I was feeling particularly homesick that day so I couldn't help it. :'( it was very embarrassing.
Then Vileplume. They impressed me more than they had in the past, but I knew I would not fit in here. I tried hard to be pleasant and had a nice time, but knew this wasn't the place for me.
Finally, I went to Moltres. This is the one that had conflicted me all week. They have a nice house and sweet girls, but I didn't know if I clicked. Their pref day was nice and all, but I really just didn't see myself calling this place home.
After a LONG day socials and a LONG wait in line, I filled out my pref card, 100% confident in my decision.
I put:
I was fully aware that my chances were slim to none, but I was 100% sure of my decision. I did not want to take a bid from someone who felt that Moltres or Vileplume was a place they wanted to be, and didn't want to go through the mess of depledging. I was given several lectures about the dangers of SIPing, but I knew that if this house didn't work out I would rather not be Greek at all than take someone's spot who deserved it more.
....
I did end up getting the call Saturday morning saying a bid had not been extended to me, and I am honestly fine with that. Was it because I only put them on the pref card? Maybe. I'll never know. Of course I am disappointed it didn't work out, but am I heartbroken? No, because it's my own fault I didn't receive a bid, and I can't go blaming a computer system or a group just trying to decide who fits in with them best.
But I am eligible for COB and I may pursue that, but right now I'm just adapting to college as a normal student! I know my decision was right for me, and if it is meant to be it will all work out.
