pref day houses

Well said!!

I had Chi Omega, Theta and Delta Gamma on pref day and preffed them in that order and I nearly dropped after I got my bid card to DG. You hear rumors about girls crying by the columns every year, well I was one of those girls. I walked over to the DG girls with tears on my face while they welcomed me with open arms. I almost ran back to my dorm instead of heading to the house to meet the other girls. Thank the Lord my bid day buddy, and now my big, was encouraging to me. She told me to give it a chance and that she wouldn't be upset if I wanted to leave but to at least show up and give it a shot.

I'm was an officer last year, I've danced for DG before, played sports and lead recruitment groups. I'm going into my senior year as a DG and I am beyond blessed to have called these women my sisters.

You might not get your first choice, but if you're like me and give it a chance, you won't care once you get involved.

Chi O, Kappa, A Phi

KD
Sigma
Phi Mu
I didn't want any of these houses, I really wanted DG, but these were the choices I had left. I only stayed because my sister, a KD at SLU, urged me to do so. I thought I wanted KD, but got Phi Mu instead. I was one of those girls crying my eyes out. I wanted to go home and drop out of Mizzou. I knew I could go to SLU and be a KD.

But for some reason, I made my way to Phi Mu, and that afternoon was one of the best experiences of my life. I love my sisters and don't let anyone tell you "lower tier" is terrible. I thought I'd be embarrassed by my house, but honestly it's been nothing less than a sanctuary. "Greek" is awesome -give it a chance.

Theta
Zeta
A PHI

I had a horribly disappointing rush. After open houses I was invited back to most of the top and mid tier houses and felt so positive. By pref day all I had was Sigma and Phi Mu. I was beyond sad but knew that I wanted to experience Greek Life no matter what. My parents were Greeks at Mizzou, my cousins, my aunts and uncles all talked about great Greek memories. I ended up as a Phi Mu and starting my Senior year and loved every minute. I'll be sad to leave my sisters and I encourage every PNM to realize that Any house at Mizzou is better than no house at all!

Kappa, Tridelt, DG. Got my first choice!

Had my three favs on Thursday: Theta, Pi Phi, Kappa. I was truly disappointed to lose Theta on Friday morning. Had Pi Phi, Kappa, Zeta on Friday and chose Kappa (and they chose me back Saturday morning!) Happy ending:)

I had 3 great houses on pref day but I know if I didn't, I would've dropped. It was excruciating to be in some houses after open house and I know I would have not felt comfortable in them JUST to be Greek. Just being honest, not trying to be negative.

Let's count how many times Kappa makes up posts on this thread that are insulting to PiPhi. I would add it up myself, but I'm not an accounting major so I don't do well with big numbers.
