I must be losing my mind but didn't EB post "My Competitive Rush" with virtually the same sorority codes and colors. She had 2 more in hers and Kiwi and Peach were the exact same colors.

If I am wrong, I apologize in advance!!!

You're not losing your mind.

Well, today was Pref Day also known as the last day of rush. We all had to dress up in nice dresses and I was excited to get my list of houses (we could get asked back to a max of 3). Some girls I know got calls this morning saying no houses asked them back for Pref, so I was greatful to open my paper and find that I had:

Peach
Kiwi
Lemon

Finally, I had all the houses that I wanted back, and I didn’t have to go to Apple anymore! I was definitely excited for this day.

Lemon- This was the first house I Preffed at, and the girl that I talked to was one that I talked to already second round. However, I did not know if I actually liked the girls in this house all that much because most of them (not all), including the girl who Preffed me, seemed kind of awkward and not someone that I would be great friends with. The ceremony was beautiful, and they sang a lot of songs that I love. I did not have anything to compare it to since it was my first house of the day, but overall I decided I definitely would not mind being a Lemon.

Peach- I went to Peach’s Pref ceremony after Lemon, and the girl I talked to was one whom I had talked to in previous rounds who I really connected with. The ceremony was a lot different than Lemon's, but still nice. I left Peach knowing that I would have a tough decision to make.

Kiwi- The ceremony at this house was much more extravagant than the other two, which was to be expected at Kiwi. I talked to a girl whom I had never talked to before, which probably wasn’t a good sign but I was still surprised to be asked back here yet again, especially since I kept cutting them. The girl and I got along really well, but I knew that as nice as the girls at Kiwi were and even though Kiwi was the topped ranked house out of any house at my school, I would not feel as comfortable in this house as I would in some of the others.

After I attended all three houses, I had NO idea what to do. All of my friends who I talked to told me I better be ranking Kiwi first because it’s the top house out of all of them and I was lucky to even have preffed there so I may as well try to get a bid. However, I just don’t feel like I would be comfortable at Kiwi so I decided not to listen to my friends. My decision came down between Peach and Lemon, and I had absolutely no idea which to rank first. I wanted to be a Lemon because out of all my friends who had Peach and Lemon as two of their houses left, ALL of them were picking Lemon and everyone says that you’re closest with your pledge class. However, I liked all of the sisters at Peach much better but none of my friends were ranking this house first. Finally, after talking with my Rho Chis for a long time, I ranked

1 Peach
2 Lemon
3 Kiwi

and signed my bid card. We'll see what happens tomorrow..

I would really like to hear the end of your story please! Thanks

I agree with what everyone else is saying but I think we should wait and hear the end.

So if you really agree that this is very possibly a fake rush story you want to hear how it turned out?

Sorry, but that makes no sense

Here is the final part of my story, sorry it's taken a few days I've been busy with pledging and sisterhood activities:

Well, today was BID DAY!!! And it was really tiring. So many girls got calls saying they were dropped from every house and I was really nervous, but finally the time came for us to get our bids. We had to go meet with our Rush Group in a large auditorium where we would all be handed our bid cards at the same time.

I opened my card and I got…

PEACH!!!!!!!!

PHI SIGMA SIGMA!

Does anyplace meet the criteria of midwestern + 12 NPCs + Phi Sig?

smiley90 · #13 10-15-2009, 04:14 PM

they're not all NPCs. and I'd appreciate it if everyone was respectful of my story instead of bashing it, I'm sorry if someone has already used fruits I did not read that one before and if you don't want to believe me, fine but I just wanted to post my story just like everyone else on here.

I wonder. ^ Phi Sig is a great Sorority but the numbers don't seem right. She did say that there were locals involved but so did Eaglesbaby/Blondie20 in her posts.

I will stop now as it really doesn't matter whether it is true or not. Just an observation. My apologies to the OP.

okay I'll admit that up until this point I had no idea why I was being accused of having similar stories to someone else..finally after Ghostwriter posted the above I went and searched posts by eaglesbaby and then realized that I'm not being accused of reposting/stealing someone's story, I'm being accused of making up a story. Yes, after reading eaglesbaby/blondie20s story I see how we had pretty much the same code..okay first of all do you really think that if eaglesbaby/blondie20/whatever her name is was gonna post another story she would use the same code she already used? that's just pathetic.

I wrote my own story as I was going through recruitment and waited till a couple weeks after it was over to finish posting it, I had never even heard of eaglesbaby until now and I'm sorry for whoever thinks I made up this story for shits and giggles.

I'm having so much fun in my new PC at Phi Sig and I can't wait to finally be initiatedd
