My daughter has been invited back to two (out of a possible three) chapters for preference. She will be going to Chrysanthemum and Candlelight. As she put it in her text, "both ends of the spectrum." One is her favorite, and one is her least favorite. Tomorrow is bid day, so if she does get a bid, she says it could be absolutely wonderful or it could be just mediocre. However, if there's one thing I have learned from lurking on Greek Chat for a couple of years, it's that most women who don't get their first choice eventually end up loving their chapter and can't imagine any other outcome. I've been trying to emphasize this all along but I know it will be tough for her to deal with the initial disappointment. Right now there is no talk of intentional single preference - I am going to strongly discourage this if it comes up.

I think this has been the longest week of my life. I can't even imagine how the PMs must feel.
