At Pref, I connected with all three houses. Keep in mind, I was only able to meet so many of the 100 members during the first three parties, and our parties were not that long (20 minutes for first round). This is the way I felt.
At my 3rd choice, I only felt like I really got to know one member, and sort-of got to know other girls. The chapter was nice and fun, but I felt it was a bit superficial. It would have been ok to be a member here; they were a very strong house, and I'm sure I would grow to love it.
Number two house, I connected with one girl in particular, and felt I would fit in just fine. They were genuine and I thought I could develop life-long friendships. I would have definitely been happy here.
But at number one, I connected with a lot of members. At pref, even though one member was taking me around, everyone seemed to know me and remember everything about me. They remembered my classes, that my cousin was president of a chapter at another college, and who our friends-in-common were. At that point, I even had inside jokes with a few of them. When everyone else was crying at Pref, we were bursting at the seams laughing.
I could have fit into any of them, and wouldn't have been disappointed as long as I got a bid. But my ranking was very easy.
