Second thoughts?

by: Pref

Is there anyone who wishes they had gone with their other option they had at pref? What made you think this way?

I actually screwed up ranking after sisterhood. I had 3. I ranked my top 2 as the more popular/party houses and the one I actually clicked with the most 3rd. Got invited back to my top 2. Dont get me wrong I still love my house and got my 1st choice. However 2 years later and I still kinda wonder abd have a ton of friends in that house.

I’m 100% sure I would be happiest in PiPhi. But that’s based off of me. PiPhi dropped me after sisterhood so I never got the chance to find out. Both houses I preffed were great, but I even think I would be happier in the other one I preffed than the one I ended up in.

My story is that on pref I had house ABC which I LOVED, and then house XYZ where my convos were just ok at best. I obviously ranked them 1. ABC 2. XYZ

Ended up getting XYZ and was devastated, now still majority of my friends are in ABC and I feel like I can actually be myself around those girls, not my actual house. So it's a fun time lol

Lol MEEEEE.

For real though, the exact same thing happened to me where I feel like I would have fit in better at my first choice than my second but they didn’t give me a bid. It happens. It really helped me to let my first choice house go and really throw myself into the house I got.

But I fully agree, it sucks feeling like the girls in your house feel like friends you can go out with and stuff, but the girls who you feel like are sisters that accept you 100% for who you are are in a house you almost got but didn’t

I know MANY girls who had this same experience, you just only see rush success stories because people don’t openly talk about their disappointments. It’s totally common and reflects that rush is not a perfect system.

If it makes you feel better, I know in my house we never invite girls to pref who we don’t genuinely adore and think will fit in. It’s just that after pref it’s simply about numbers. Chances are your first houses would have been happy to have you, it just logistically didn’t work out.

^^ THIS. Houses aren’t going to waste a pref invitation on a girl they don’t love and want

I got 2 houses I absolutely did not want and dropped at pref. People said I was being annoying and stuck up but I didn’t want to commit to a house I didn’t feel right in at all. And then I got one of the houses I loved through cob, which was weird but I’m so glad. So the system is def off and you need to listen to yourself

I don’t mind saying that I preffed kappa and KD. I went kd because the only other girl I knew here was going kd. Wish I’d gone kappa tbh. They are more inclusive and that pc was much better than mine.

Must be honest here, I preffed KD and DDd. I picked kd and was so excited but it didn’t last. The mb and mobile girls were very cliquey and absolute snots. They hung out together and thought they ran the whole scene because brothers cousins etc were in the cool houses. My bf was from a new row house and they looked down on me. I basically hung out there alone without any other Kds. No one ever wanted to go to anything w me. The girls who had rushed me so hard barely said hi after bid day and one girl actually asked me at initiation - “wait you aren’t a legacy? I was sure you had to be a legacy. “ Horrible experience - transferred after two years and I’m so thankful I did.

Omg nothing hurts more than when a girl rushes you so hard and tells you you're her rush crush during recruitment, then after bid day acts like you don't exist :( happened to me too

No I don’t. At first I was kinda sad but I stuck it out and I’m glad I did. I have the occasional what if but ultimately I would choose the house I’m in every time. The other house is a great house and I have a lot of friends in there so I could’ve been happy there too but I think my house is the one I fit in the best & looking back clicked the most with during recruitment. I love my big/little family and they are going to be my bridesmaids in the future and I’m so blessed to have them in my life & I know we’ll always be there for each other no matter how far away we are. There may be sometimes rush doesn’t work but I feel most of the time it does. As someone who’s going to be senior, enjoy your time here because it flies so fast.

I only had one at pref and it took me a looooong time to get over it. I did find great friends and I enjoy being part of a sorority in general but the house and most of the girls are not my vibe. I ended up in a party house and would much rather be in a grades house even if it was lower ranked

absolutely. one of the houses i kept telling myself i didn’t like due to their reputation during rush, i absolutely know i would be happier if i were in that house than in the house i ended up in

By: yup
by: YepppJun 5, 2021 2:01:29 AM

Same! I decided to put a top house on bottom because of their reputation and I regret it now because I could’ve ended up with them at pref if I hadn’t talked myself into putting them at the bottom of my list

I actually had second thoughts about the house I didn't vibe as much with. I wanted them because a lot of my friends did but I vibed much better with the house I chose. I don't necessarily regret it but I do still have mixed feelings about my choice.
