Ok everyone, prefs is over and I just got home from out final ranking session. Brief synopsis of Prefs round:
The LONDON house was the first house I went to. I cannot even explain to you how gorgeous this party was. I heard prior to the party that this house had hired a wedding decorator for prefs, and as soon as I got inside, I could tell the rumor was true. It was absolutely gorgeous! As soon as I left this house, I knew it was where I wanted to be. I actually cried during part of it!
The SAN DIEGO house was next. A good friend of mine from this chapter preffed me so I felt really comfortable right away. We had a good conversation but, after they finished their songs and speeches, it was just that much more apparent to me that this house didnt feel like home. I just loved all the girls here though!
The CHICAGO house was last. At this chapter, I was also preffed by a very close friend of mine and I got emotional because she kept crying because it all meant so much to her. It was really moving.
Coming into this round, I must say, I was certain that I would only accept a bid if it came from my "top choice." I am so glad I got to go through prefs though, because it made my decision so much clearer as for #2 and #3, and also made me realize that perhaps I could be just as happy at one of the other houses. So, as for tomorrow, I have to be on campus at 500pm for the PiChi reveals and Panhellenic Induction ceremony, and then a 600pm, we head to the field near sorority row to get our bid cards. From what I can gather, shortly after 600pm, the PiChis blow a horn, we open our bid envelopes and we race to our respectives new houses! (AKA: "Bulls run") So, sometime after 600pm tomorrow, I'll know where I will be. Unfortunately, I probably wont be able to get back to you all until Monday because we arent able to leave the houses tomorrow until midnight. But everyone wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me! I cant wait!
