It hurts to be cut, but I'm sure you still have some great houses to choose from. Keep up the positive attitude and good luck!

GOOD LUCK you seem to have an upbeat attitude and I hope you find your home... (is it bad I'm rooting for San Francisco just because I live there ??)

Smile
Keep an open mind even though your favorites dropped you.
My daughter suicided (only listed one on her bid card ) and didn't get it. She thought that it was the only group that she could fit in with. Her Gamma Chi and I convinced her to accept a snap bid and she has been very happy. A year later she just completed her first rush from the other side.

Sunshinesmiles -

My daughter is going through rush at Texas right now and the biggest piece of advice I gave her was to fall in love with three sororities, or whatever your number of pref parties is. Because for most women, if you took them out of their sorority and dropped them in their second or third choice and they never knew their first choice, they would love and have great experiences there. Every sorority has great girls in it and you will find fabulous friends wherever you land.

Just my opinion, of course.

Preferential invites
Hello again everyone. Just got back from getting my invites back to prefs round. Out of the 6 I went to yesterday, there were 2 that really stuck out to me as where I was supposed to be. Unfortunately, one of the 2 cut me. But out the 6 I went to for round 3, I was invited back to 5. I still have my top choice. So, unfortunately, I had to cut 2 houses, and this was the hardest cut I had to make. One house is the chapter my aunt belongs to, so I felt horrible cutting them as she had written me a rec. there but I knew it wasn’t for me. So tonight is prefs. And Im SO excited. Just for to sum up round 3:

The DALLAS house had a cute theme for their video, although this party made it more apparent to me that this wasn’t my home
The SAN FRANCISCO house was one of my top two choices. Their video had some of my favorite songs and did a really good job of expressing what the sisterhood meant to them
The SAN DIEGO house had an adorable video and was the only one I saw all day that was funny rather than sad and sentimental and gave me a good impression of the sisters.
The CHICAGO house had a really cute song and video.
The LONDON house is my other favorite. The video was adorable and had all the sisters who were seniors in tears. It meant a lot to me to see how much the sisterhood meant to these women.
The LAS VEGAS house had a cute song and video, although at the end of the video, it had a memoriam for one of their active sisters who passed away this summer and I almost cried and I didn’t even know her. I have liked this house a lot, but I don’t think it is the house for me.

So, for tonight, I’ll be returning to the SAN DIEGO house, the CHICAGO house, and the LONDON house. Unfortunately, I was cut from the SAN FRANCISCO house, but luckily, my top choice (LONDON) kept me around for Prefs! I cant wait for tonight. I have an absolutely gorgeous dress that I feel really comfortable in and I am looking forward to letting one particular house know how I feel about the experience I’ve had there so far. I’m hoping things go well tomorrow on bid day!!!
