I preffed Adpi & DG. I thought all week I was going to go DG. I even wrote in my little journal that I wanted to be a sailor girl and all that cute stuff. When push came to shove though I was blown away by Adpi's pref ceremony and the famous "Stranger Poem". I felt the sisterhood, and of course....having my name written on a piece of chocolate helped too!!  My older sister was thrilled when I came through Adpi doors since she was an adpi too!

I didn't go through formal. But my roommate my first semester freshman year went Gam (Alpha Gamma Delta) and so did one of my suite mates so all I knew were Gams. Somehow I met some ADPis and didn't realise that I was going through COR until my aunt told me that I was (Her sister is and ADPi too). But ADPi felt like home and it still does.

If I had gone through rush as a freshman, I would have been a ZTA----I knew it. But because I waited until I was a junior, and went through open, I made the only choice that would have been right for me. ADPi was always the place for me, and even though ZTA was where I was sure I would go as a freshman, time changed my mind, and my heart for the diamonds of ADPi!!!!
So proud to be a diamond girl!!! (I should have know all along, since it's my birthstone.....)

ADPi and ZTA, knowing all along I wanted ADPi. I didn't know any ADPi's and went through as a sophomore. I worried all night about it. Luckily, one of my very best guy friends was very good friends with a lot of the ADPi's so I guess he talked to them and obviously they wouldn't tell him I got a bid, but instead that I shouldn't worry. He told me not to worry, so I didn't!  Now, here I am!
The "stranger" line in pref made me cry, too, as does the song "The Wood".

I preffed ADPi and APhi. I would have preffed DZ as well, but they didn't informal the week after ADPi extended me a bid. I wouldn't change my decision for the world!

I can't remember all the lines, but it's one that my chapter had done for a few years, and I think they are now having all the District 6 chapters use it for their preference parties (according to the president of the chapter I'm advising).
adpi*nurse, do you remember how it goes?

If people want I can pm it to you... Since I don't think everyone wants me giving up many chapters trade secrets to a good pref night...

Without giving away great pref secret!  Is it the one that starts out with, "Stranger, that is what you were to me and I to you not so long ago..."? We used it 10 years ago and still today at my chapter. A&M used it this year too. Our pref ceremony with all the songs still gets actives and PNMs all teary! It's great!
So to get back on track with the thread, I didn't pref anyone because I was a spring(informal) girl. But I did get 3 bids!
