This very second my fingernails are purple.
Editing in a second to add Pref night.
ETA: If you saw my little "oopsies!" please don't give it away!
Pref
Of course, I went back to
Jabberwocky.
There were more tears today. A lot of girls were cut by their favorite groups, I wasn’t sure how to respond other than to offer sympathy and tell them that the groups that did invite them back liked them enough to invite them to Pref. I think some girls in my group were cut completely or withdrew as it was smaller, however, it’s really none of my business so I’ll leave it at that.
A few of us had to walk over to another part of campus in our nice shoes and dresses when UH OH! A few fat rain drops started to splash the ground, then a few more, then some more. We got a bit wet, I managed to hit what was apparently the only puddle and got the end of my dress SOAKED. Great. However, I did remember my earrings this time!
The girl who picked me up at the door was the one who did for the past two nights.
I did not expect to be crying at Pref. Greek Chat made me expect for it to be a nice evening, more intimate, plus a ceremony of sorts. I didn’t cry buckets, but the eyes were definitely watering a little.
After the ceremony, which was very touching, another girl took a turn to speak with me. I hadn’t met her before, but she was very sweet and kind. She told me why she chose
Jabberwocky and we had a lot of the same reasons for going through recruitment. I was happy this was my only party as my choice was clear which one I was going to rank first and did not have the other groups clouding my mind and decision - I would have probably cried harder.
The next day is Bid Day, which as I said, was a little unexpected, but great!
I'll go ahead and post the groups and let everyone guess.
