Round 4 was preference. PNMs could be invited to a maximum of 3 houses. Because my daughter had only been to 2 houses the previous round, her max was 2.

Parties started later that day and she called me in the morning. She had not been contacted by her Pi Chi, so she knew that she had been invited to at least one Preference party. Her favorite group was still the same one it had been all along. The girls at the other house she had been to in round 3 were very nice; she just didn’t feel as though she had really met her people there yet.

She texted me when she got her schedule. Both groups had invited her to preference.

She called that night. She had enjoyed both parties. She had maximized her options and ranked both groups, so she knew that she would be receiving a bid. Her first choice was the same it had been all week. She was hoping that the bid would be from them. But she said that she would not be disappointed if her bid was from the other group. Their preference party had been really lovely and the girls were super nice. She said that she was going to trust the process. (GC wisdom coming into play!)

I was so proud of her again! I don’t know that I could have been as mature about the process at her age. I wasn’t feeling mature about the process at my age! I was just biting my nails and hoping that the first group felt about her the way she felt about them!

This, this, this!

I am stealing this and reusing it. If you don't feel like you fit into a huge chapter, you just haven't met your people yet. Keep looking. They'll be there.
