Good morning ladies,

Preferential day has finally arrived. We know the process has taken a toll. We are tired too but have worked really hard to provide you a glimpse of our sisterhoods. We hope this week you have made friends with your fellow PNMs. We went through this process too before joining our chapters so we are aware that very few of you had a "so called perfect" recruitment experience. This is our hope for you today.

Whether you have a full schedule or just one house to visit go with a full heart. Some of you may be disappointed with the chapters that invited you back but prefs will be the longest visit and the best opportunity to really get to know us. Many women will tell you preferential night had such an impact on them and I am sure it will on you too.

Some of you might be really tempted to withdraw upon seeing your invitations today. I would encourage you to go through the process as many people who were dead set on a house OR set against one (in some cases) had a real change of heart at this round. Best of luck to you all, we are waiting with open arms and hearts to welcome you into our sisterhoods.

Ladies, 100% this post. If you don't like your choices today, you aren't going to get a better choice with a snap or COB. The houses that ask you to pref see you as sisters and are prepared to offer you a bid! Go to pref; it can be a game changer! Take your bid and give that house a chance.

Honestly go in with an open mind, even if you don't like your houses, they see something in you that would fit in really well into their chapter. Also, don't go for tier, go for sisterhood. If you feel like you could see yourself comfortable with these girls being your friends for your college years and beyond, go for that. At the end of the day, when you're older you're not going to look back and say "oh yeah i was top tier in college" you're going to say "i made the most incredible friends in college".

Personally, I was really disappointed from my chapters from round 3 to prefs because I thought I didn't belong in the house I chose, but I went through with it and I have some of the most incredible friends. Your Greek life experience is what you make of it, so good luck to all of you girls tonight, and just feel out your house for what they offer!!

I rushed my freshman dropped out before preffed as I did not like any of the houses. I was a freshman. My roommate was a freshman too, she got Kd. Three of my good friends got Adpi and ddd. I rerushrd as a sophomore thing now I have friends in Kd, Adpi and Tri delt. I was sure one would pick me. I got dropped by ddd, Adpi and Kd when I rushed. I preffed at Zta , Dg and xo. I was almost certain Dg was going to offer me a bid. I was so surprised it was xo. I cried and was upset I still did not get a top house again. Fast forward two years. I love xo! They are genuine girls with big hearts and I have made many new friends. The moral of the story is you end up where you are suppose to be! I am a lot wiser now . All of the houses at UF are awesome.

There are SO many stories like this. Top houses DO make everyone feel good and many have PNMs have good conversations in them to get dropped later. Please give your pref houses a chance and see how it goes. You can drop befit initiation if you don’t like it but fall season games and parties are a blast that you at a minimum don’t want to miss out on.

Good Luck

I didn't like my house all through rush and thought they were so in my face. But at pref I completely changed my mind and now I couldn't see myself anywhere else so please just go in with a clean state of mind. And keep in mind that you've only even talked to a small percentage of girls from the houses at this far, and you haven't even met your pledge class yet which is ~probably~ where you'll find your niche within your niche.

Points made here and in the "dropped..confused?" thread are really important aspects that PNMs need to consider as they move into prefs. This is ultimately your experience! What other people have to say doesn't really matter, it's where you feel happy and valued that is most important.

I'm so nervous right now! I really like one house and am afraid I won't get invited back tonight. I am trying to go in with an open mind. Any last minute advice from members???

So I got two of my top three that I wanted most- am I mostly likely to get a bid?

Yes as long as you maximized your options meaning listing both on your pref card

After prefs what are my chances of getting my number 1 choice? Is voting just based on today or like an accumulated score from all my rounds with them?

My house is different as well. Bottom line we all have different ways and methodologies to rank. You won’t learn about it until you are initiated.
