By the second week of school, everyone was wearing their new letters/house names. I felt sad everytime i saw PNM/Members with letters (which was A LOT). I hadn't spoken to one girl in Marissa and no one even bothered to call me (no one even knew me in the house so why should they even bother?).

I would have felt so much better and comfortable to at least even visit Marissa and just make up an excuse like 'sorry, i had work on bid day' had i not told that one girl at pref that i loved Serena and that they were the house for me. The whole house probably now knew that i was not wanted at serena and since I knew i was probably on the bottom of their list--marissa-- i had to be REALLY low on serena's list. (TIP: this is why you should NEVER talk about another house. You make your rusher feel uncomfotable and KARMA IS INTENSE..... now I was uncomfortable to even go to Marissa)

By the end of week two, i got this message on facebook. Who was it from? Marissa? Serena???

another twist. to be continued in a couple of hours.

Patience is a virtue, it always brings good luck. It's seldom found and humans, and never in a duck.

Currently, I AM THAT DUCK.

Please finish your story =]

(and thanks to my mom for that wonderful quote)

Your story has sure taken twists and turns that I didn't expect!

I thought she made the comment (about wanting to be a Serena) at Prefs? If so, it isn't as if Marissa necessarily "gave her a bid." They could have put her dead last on their list. If she was at a pref party, she has to be on the list somewhere. I think aprocess said they weren't a strong chapter (and Serena was), so it is foreseeable that Marissa could get down to the bottom of their list before hitting quota - even if they no longer wanted her.

Exactly.

Which is part of why what she said was so inappropriate and rude.

I really think that any self-respecting chapter WOULDN'T call a PNM who refused a bid after what she said at pref night. Even if they really, really, really, really wanted her before.

but umm... what self-respecting chapter gives a bid to a girl after she says something like that at pref night? she shouldn't have been on their list at all if that's the case.

its like a guy asking a girl out, she says no, and then the guy goes off about how he never wanted to date her anyway. WTF, just because you didnt get what you wanted out of the deal?

You're not in an NPC are you? No biggie but that could be the cause of your misunderstanding.

Marissa's hands were tied. NPC regulations state that if a woman is invited back to preference night, she MUST appear somewhere on that chapter's bid list. Even if it is dead last.

AFAIK there is NO way to get out of this situation. Unless maybe a PNM murdered someone in the house on preference night or something. Which clearly didn't happen. LOL.
