I'm loving all of the dog photos!!
They are so cute! Thanks for posting them!
Okay it here goes, the final round, preference! Ahh!! But first, I had to see which chapters invited me back.. I looked at the schedule that my Recruitment Counselor handed me, and.. I had a full schedule again! I was invited back to
Beagle and
Corgi!!! Wow, I was on cloud nine!
I knew nothing about Preference, only just that our recruitment counselors told us that it was the most serious round of recruitment and that each chapter would hold a ceremony for it. I was really excited!
The first house of the day was
Beagle. They had their preference in a sister's house which had a nice personal touch. We were a small greek life so we didn't have any greek houses, per se. Recruitment was pretty much held at the student center, outside of Preference which is wherever the chapters wanted to hold it in. So, with that said, the sister's house for
Beagle was quaint and nice! It was like walking into their sisterhood, literally. I saw a beautiful ceremony and they offered me cake which I politely declined, I was too nervous to eat, and I was afraid of getting cake in my teeth or something awkward like that! I was talking to the girls and they were happy I came back. My best friend's friend was saying how great it will be when I'm a sister and we started planning going to lunches together. (Later on I found out this was a huge recruitment infraction, you can't promise bids!). I left REALLY wanting to be a part of
Beagle!!! It would be hard to top this chapter after this round!
Next, our recruitment counselors dropped me off at
Corgi! I was very excited to go back here again. They had a nice ceremony, but I felt like
Beagle's was more wholesome and touching. Although, of course I cried during it! The girl who preffed me was who I talked to for a long time during the 1st night. I really liked her a lot and she said how much she could see me as a
Corgi. I talked to some of the other sisters and they all remembered me. (Side note: At least my stuttering makes me memorable
). They were all happy I came back and were genuinely happy to see me! I felt so lucky to have gone to two awesome chapters in the day and I had some serious decisions to make!
And after all of this, I made my decision, I really wanted to be a
Beagle!! I felt like they were more outgoing, they had a beautiful ceremony, and they obviously wanted me more- I mean they had promised me we would hang out and go to lunch when I joined! (I did not know at this time that it was dirty rushing.. but at the time I thought it meant they wanted me more than
Corgi). So with that said, I was about to rank my choices.
Our Recruitment Counselors said we should put down two choices if we were able to. However, I wanted to suicide on my choice. I really wanted to be a
Beagle because I felt more at home with them. I simply could not imagine myself anywhere else.. however.. as soon as the Recruitment Counselor's said we didn't have much time left to make our selections.. I took a huge breath and also put down
Corgi as my second choice... just in case.
