think twice before dropping after pref!

First off, basically every girl I know wasn't sure if they'd fit in to the house they got at first, or were sad they didn't get their top choice.

Almost every girl i know is also happy in her current house.

Rush can be deceptive! you only have a week to get to know whichever house bids you, which can make it seem like you wouldn't be a "good fit" when it fact you'd fit right in. Greekrank is also deceptive-it isn't the end of the world if you don't get into a "top" house, every house still parties, every house still has great girls.

I also see a lot of you acting like COB will magically get you a bid from a top house. 10000% untrue. There are going to be less COB bids given out this year overall, and even fewer from top houses. Top houses also like giving bids to girls who already have connections in the house.

Not even middle or bottom houses give everyone a COB bid either, obviously your chances are higher but it's not like they take all comers.

Going through pref is the only way to guarantee a bid period, and at UW especially, any house is better than no house - geed social life is really not good (source: I cobed halfway through the year because I was so tired of how antisocial our school is).

So yeah, if you're thinking about dropping, i would recommend sticking it out. I know it can be sad and scary at times, but most girls end up at a house that is perfect for them, even if they don't think so at first.
