I am enjoying your recruitment story as much as I'm enjoying kaeb's. Best of luck to both of you! (It's fun reading both at the same time and I think it would be really fun if you both ended up sisters!).

I will not end up being trojangirl's sister, none of the four houses on her list is the one who invited me back. But thank you!
Echoing her sentiments, I wish you the best of luck too!  I hope you find a great house that is perfect for you.

Alright guys...spoiler alert...i WILL find a home!! I am guaranteed one at this point ahhhh I'm so happy to say that.
So this morning, I opened my schedule to read:
NICK AND OWL EYES!!
My top two, I felt sooo happy. But at the same time stressed because I loved them equally yesterday (I secretly hoped only 1 asked me back so the decision would be made for me lol). In my heart, though, I was leaning ever so slightly to Nick.
Here's how pref went:
Nick: This pref was so adorable. The girls who took me on house tours preffed me. She is adorable, and so fun to talk to. But past the basic questions (how was your day, etc), we didn't talk about much. Someone told me something so perfect: you have your "say hi in class and chat friends" and "take to lunch friends". She seemed to be the former for me. But the ceremony was adorable.
Owl Eyes: This ceremony was sooo sweet and many seniors were in tears. The girl I met yesterday preffed me. At first, she also seemed to be the "say hi in class" friend, so I was worried. But after a little we couldn't stop talking and time flew. I loved her and I wish she didn't have a little because I'd love for her to be my big! I didn't want to make my decision based on one person though...
So I was STRESSING out when I had to rank them. Literally, at the point of tears, calling my mom, second guessing myself. I changed my mind possibly 50 times. Finally, though, I had to look at the tiny details and they all came together to lead me to ranking....
OWL EYES first! I lovelovelove Nick, though, so if I end up there, obviously it was meant to be and I'll be so happy.
We'll see tonight

ah congrats! They're both great houses, I only wish you the best!
Now I want to know who you are! (In a way that's way less creepy than that sounds going back and re-reading it )

It sounds like you will win either way, trojangirl1! I hope that you'll consider letting us know the names of both chapters; you've only had good things to say about the two. I went back to the beginning of your story and I noticed that you described both houses as being "laid back," it sounds like you knew in your heart what you needed, and both chapters recognized a kindred spirit in you.

I am 99% sure I know which two chapters these are, and congratulations they are both great. They are also a really similar vibe, I could see how it would be tough choosing. Good luck!

Ok, I have a question for kaeb and you-in both your threads you've both said your guaranteed a bid from your respective houses that you preffed-how is this possible? Is it the system that USC uses? How can you know that your guaranteed a bid before Bid Day has even started?
 confused!
Also, just wanted to add that I was hoping you'd go with Jordan...my cousin is a Jordan at USC right now!

Me too^^^
Some schools will guarantee a bid to A chapter if the PNM lists all chapters she prefs on her bid card.
However, I was unaware that they could guarantee bids to a SPECIFIC chapter, since you are ranking more than one group and they don't know how matching will play out.
For example, I could see if they were saying "I preffed XYZ, ABC, and MNO, and according to my Rho Chi I'm guaranteed a bid to ONE of them."
But I see PNMs saying that they are SPECIFICALLY guaranteed a bid to XYZ and I don't know how they would know that at this point.
I am a little confused here too. Am I missing something?
