The next morning, she says she has her Skit Day schedule and has a break first but has five parties afterwards. She still has War and Tiger as well as Aubie and Eagle. I was so thrilled she was going back to War and Tiger. I had already been on websites looking at War and Tiger items to send her on bid day. We talked about how she would possibly choose between War and Tiger if she were invited to both for Prefs. She gave me the pros and cons of each sorority and we go through every party. It was a virtual tie. What came out of my mouth next was one of my worst moments and one of my daughter's finest. After she said she had no idea how to decide, I said, "Which one is more popular?" Like I said, one of my worst moments.
She came back with, "I am NOT going to choose a sorority based on how popular they are. Do you really think I would care about the opinion of anyone who likes me or dislikes me just because of the letters I wear?"
Anyway, here is how the parties went...
War: The text I received said: I LOVE WAR. Even their ice is perfect. I can definitely see myself as a part of that group.
Tiger: I loved this party. They are so nice. The girl I has from Philanthropy came over and hugged me. I can see myself here. I still have no idea how to choose.
Aubie: I actually really enjoyed today. The girls are so relaxed. There are all kinds of girls here but they seem to have a strong sisterhood. (She also said more stuff but I was not paying any attention because the battle over War and Tiger had my attention)
Unnamed sorority - I am trying really hard to like them but they are not making it easy. Others seem to like them but I just don't. I am not sure I would accept a bid from them and do not want to take a spot from someone who really loves them. (This was where I started to panic.)
Eagle: The girls are super nice. They showed me the bid day bag we get. It has some high end items. I am not sure we can afford to keep up in this one. (We are not old money. We are not even new money. We are barely have enough money)
She listed Eagle as her first alternate and the unnamed one as her second. I wanted to spend an hour on the phone dissecting every conversation she had but she told me I "need to take a chill pill. It will work out the way it is supposed to work out."
