I'd probably admit if I didn't get my first choice... I'd have felt that if I wasn't accepted in my first choice, then it was probably not the right choice in the first place... It is a mutual decision.
I went through informal fraternity rush at Univ of Missouri-Columbia... I know the girls informal rush is very competitive and I'm thankful I didn't have to go through that...
Basically since I live in Columbia and went to high school here, I was able to check out fraternities (theres 27ish) at the beginning of my senior year... I was able to hang out with about 8 of them, some big some smaller, by contacting rush chairs... I knew I couldn't do all 27, so I went by word of mouth by opinion, reputation and achievements.. Finally I came along one which I fit in almost perfectly... Everything semed right, plus I knew a couple of the guys... It is a very strong house on MU's campus and was definately my first choice...
Sooo, I focused on hanging out with them more than any others more and more until finally I was offered a bid...
Got my first choice, and I'll see how it goes when I start school Fall of 2004... No doubts or worries though. Just pure excitement!
