Actually, they didn't cut you if you went to Pref. It's just thte way bid lists work out.
Congrats and I'm glad you found a home with ASA.

I'm glad you were strong enough to do what was right for you. Unfortunately, great chapters stay low in the ranks because girls are too afraid to break with "tradition" and choose a chapter that fits them well but doesn't have a strong "reputation." I hope you enjoy every second with your ASA sisters!

Thanks for posting this thread! Something people fail to realize is that chapters change. For example, my chapter went from one of the smallest, to the one of the top 3 (of 7) largest in 2 years. Also, reputations change. The sorority that was considered "the best" when I was a freshman, is certainly not now.

This is so true and something a lot of PNMs don't consider. My sorority went from last place (so I'm told) to the most desirable in under 5 years. They have a consistent high 90's% return rate and a wonderful sisterhood. The previous "top" house has suffered a lot and isn't so desirable anymore. Your best option is to go with your heart and not base too much on reputation!

People also don't consider that if a large group of PNMs joins a smaller chapter, they are no longer a smaller chapter! Also, that new member class will form the personality of the chapter because they will outnumber the others, particularly if they keep recruiting women like them.

That's what often happens to the girls who are overly focused on prestige and decide they need to be in the "best" sorority - even if it doesn't fit them at all.
I'm so glad you followed your heart and are my sister in ASA!!!!

Maybe I'm loosing it, but haven't we had a few ASA new members lately? I seem to remember a lot of girls in fall of this year or maybe spring of last year?

Ahhh!! I'm so excited! I was just reading along, never expecting an ASA finish. Congratulations. I hope you love your sorority experience as much as I have
Whoo-Hoo!

i think that was what i was trying to show with this thread. that what other people think doesnt matter. if you really connect with a chapter, go for it, join and then work hard to make that chapter the best it can be. i know if i had gone to Meredith's pref party and put them on my bid card i would have gotten a bid (jen told me they really wanted me) but i dont care cause they do not represent the sisterhood i want. and even though i did like izzy, i feel like everything happens for a reason, and ive found my home.
as we always say... with your letters in front of you, and your sisters behind you, you can take on anything.
