And the way the story was going, I was sure she was going Prada and I figured that since you wrote this after-the-fact it would be less like the real, day-by-day ups and downs. I thought, "Well, if she gets dropped by Prada later in the week she wouldn't let us know that's where she had her heart set". However, you tricked us! I can't wait to find out where your friend finds her home away from home.

After Preference, the PNMs return to the Student Center, change clothes, and go to an office with their SRC to make their final rankings and submit their bid cards.
My friend was still in awe of how she realized that Dior was the place for her at this last party. She remembers a girl in her group (on whose shoulder she'd cried in the dorms when Prada dropped her) coming up to her and saying "Oh so are you gonna drop out, since you don't like those 2 as much as you liked Prada?" She told the girl "Nope, I went back to pref and now I see that I REALLY want to be a Dior, so I'm kinda glad I got dropped by Prada now."
After changing and such, she sat down in that room with her SRC who explained the card and (briefly) how bids were matched.
So her SRC said, "There are two spots here. Rank Dolce & Gabbana and Christian Dior either first or second."
She asked her, "What if I *don't* want Dolce AT ALL?"
Her SRC gave her the rundown about "maximizing her options" and how risky "intentional single preferencing" is.
At the end, she said, "I would not be excited at all to go down to Dolce if I got a bid from them, and that wouldn't be fair to them. I only felt comfortable at Dior today."
She feels bad for saying this now, but she also said that if she got a bid from Dolce, that she'd just decline it because she'd kept her options open but just never felt comfortable there.
She spent 45 minutes in room with her SRC trying to persuade her to list both sororities. The girl even called in her SRC partner to try to get her to see that Dolce should be put on her list. In the end, my friend didn't budge. Her SRC obviously couldn't FORCE her to list both, so she had to just let my friend decide for herself. She again gave her the disclaimer and said, "You do know that you could be released from recruitment if you don't receive a bid from Dior." My friend replied, "That's totally fine."
So she, against Panhellenic advice, listed only Christian Dior on her final card.
