Where did you pref?

Shamelessly borrowed from other forums . . .

I preffed Zeta and of course Gamma Phi.

I only rushed Gamma Phi - I wanted nothing to do with any of the other sororities on campus.

I'll admit that I had a great time rushing and was very happy to be left at the end with my two favorites from Day 1: Gamma Phi Beta and Delta Delta Delta. I was one of the last women left in the room when we were filling out our bid cards and knew I would truly be happy in either sorority.

Glad you chose us!

I preffed ZTA, although they were never at the top of my list. Great girls, don't get me wrong, just not for me.

I preffed Alpha Chi Omega and Gamma Phi Beta. I had such a difficult time during pref card signing, but finally went with my gut. I love the Alpha Chi's at UCR (and all my other AXO friends!) but I think I picked the right choice.

Gamma Phi, Chi O and Alpha Phi...Definitely made the right choice!

I preffed Gamma Phi and Alpha Phi. Both had beautiful ceremonies and it was a tough decision. Wisconsin is cold in the winter and the G-Phi house is closest to campus and Alpha Phi is the furthest. (I rushed 2nd semester -February). So I admit that might have been the tie-breaker, but I am SOOOOO glad I picked Gamma Phi!!

I too preffed Gamma Phi and Alpha Phi. I know I made the right choice!

[summer_gphib]

I did Spring Rush, for us that was kind of a mix between formal and COR, so I only prefed Gamma Phi!

[indygphib]

Alpha Xi Delta and of course, Gamma Phi Beta. The A Xi D's were nice enough, but not for me. I was so thrilled when I got my top choice!

I preffed Kappa Delta, and filling out my bid card was an easy choice, I was set on Gamma Phi!

This is kind of an aside, but was anyone else told during rush that you could list all the houses that you were ASKED back to pref on your bid card? For example, I was asked back to my 4 houses from the previous round, and actually changed my mind about the other house I preffed - and put them 3rd behind a house I dropped the day before. When I was on this side of rush, I realized there was no way I would have wound up in a house I didn't pref, so I wondered why I was allowed to rank them at all.

Any thoughts?

You are probably younger than I (I'm 43). It sounds like they were trying to maximize your options . . . is that what it is called? I remember something like this coming onto campus when I was an advisor.

[LAblondeGPhi]

That makes sense, and yes, I'm a little younger (mid-twenties). I suppose it would have depended on the strength of the various chapters' return rates and the strength of my position on the bid lists. But I can only imagine if, as an active, we had seen a woman on Bid Day who we didn't see on Pref Night! What a surprise that would have been!
