As the rounds went on at rush, we thought it couldn't get any hotter, but it did. So humid on Sunday in fact that a huge storm meant the day lasted from midday til 11pm. You get tours of the houses, and they are beautiful. They are like giant boarding house that are furnished like something out of a magazine. You can see why sororities leave it to the frats to throw the parties. After this round of 5 houses, you down your options to 3 and this is called Preference Night.
Myself and Olivia stepped out in white and red dresses only to realise we looked like the English flag, we just hoped Blanca was wearing blue...The final round is more serious. There is a little ceremony in each house and the girls describe what sisterhood means to them. At first I was a bit unsure of what a sorority was all about, thinking I was going to meet a hundred Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, and it couldn't be further from the truth. All the rules seem silly to start with but then it becomes like a ritual and you kind of look forward to it. Past all of that, you basically get to meet the greatest group of girls. You pick the sorority which most suits you; if you want to work hard, play hard, or both... there is something for everyone. You write down on Pref night your favourite, mine was Tri Delta so I was hoping so bad that I got a bid from them...! Bid Day is just so much fun.
Everyone goes to the gym and gets given their cards with their bid in it, opens them at once and runs to the quad where all the houses are cheering...it's so overwhleming and everyone is just in such a great mood. This video kind of gives you the idea...
