Thank you everyone! Its so awesome to see how excited everyone is for me!!!! I have done my best to keep an open mind and give each sorority a fair shot, and I have pretty much been an open book on this website. Its been amazing to see that sisterhood goes beyond each individual college, which makes me even MORE excited for tonight. I am counting down the hours!!!

Something disappointing I thought I should point out that they have recently changed, is that we are no longer allowed to run to our houses from a nearby field (norman if you are familiar with the school) We are meeting at the o'connell center, and being bused to our houses =[ But, knowing me, I will be the girl running of the bus, full speed into my new sisters arms, bawling my eyes out. I honestly just cant believe this is real. I cant believe that one of the amazing sisterhoods I visited last night is inviting me to be a part of their chapter. I feel SO blessed, I cant even put it into words. I just hope that I can return the love that they have made me feel the past couple days, and that I know I will feel for the rest of my life. This is all so surreal and I can't believe this is happening to me...

PS: I am sorry for my crazy emotional rant, but I honestly just thought y'all should know how much this really means to me, and that to me its not just letters, or a house filled with a bunch of girls. Its a home and a family and a place to feel like I belong.

PanseyGirl 08-23-2011 05:02 PM

Text us from the bus after you get your bid. I remember bid day at Florida like it was yesterday. I am excited for you.

OMG this. I've been watching bid day videos of girls who feel just like this and years after accepting my bid I still get teary eyed.

If you think this feeling is amazing now...wait till next year when you're on the other side giving hugs to the new girls!

Best of luck to you and an early congratulations. We can't wait to hear all about it!

twinkle555 08-23-2011 06:42 PM

Awww cant wait to hear about your new sisters!

LOL... so true! I managed to cry at TCU's bid day this year (21 years after my own bid) because this one adorable new member came running up to me (I was holding a door open) and was gushing "Is this real? Is this really real? Oh my gosh, this is real, this is really happening!"

Yeah, I got misty. I love bid day!

Congrats! Welcome to Kappa!!

Gatorgirl729 08-23-2011 10:58 PM

Thanks everyone!!! I am SO excited!!! These girls are making me feel SO loved. One gave me a ride back to my dorm, and told me to text her if i ever needed anything, like a ride to the store. She said that she would never have a baby kappa have to ride the bus :P I am just so happy to be a Kappa :) and I just know its the right place for me

KSUViolet06 08-23-2011 11:03 PM

Congrats.

This would make a great "this is the kind of open mind and attitude a PNM should have" sticky.

I felt a different connection at each house. One made me laugh, one made me cry, and one made me reminisce on old times while getting excited for times to come. I can truly say that I have gone through this process with an open mind, and I have been nothing but true to who I am, and I know that no matter who is on my bid card tomorrow, i cant lose... I can see myself as an asset to each of these chapters, and I would love to call any of these girls my sisters. I honestly had an amazing night. ... I cant believe that tomorrow, I will be a part of a sorority, and more than that, a sisterhood. I cannot wait. :)

This made me tear up!
Congrats to you and KKG! I'm tossing fleurs de lis your way!

Don't you mean "happy, happy, happy"? :) (Although if your chapter has yet to sing that particular Kappa song you are very confused right now!)

Alberta 08-24-2011 01:59 PM

Congrats! It's too bad they don't still do things at Norman Field though, that was always such a big tradition. Oh well, out with the old, in with the new. Congrats again!

Hey everyone! I am just keeping you all up to date I guess :P As of today, I am officially an initiated sister of Kappa Kappa Gamma and I couldn't be happier :) I don't know how I got so lucky to find my home in Kappa <3

FSUZeta 10-23-2011 03:47 PM

congratulations on your initiation!!

KKGCaroline 10-23-2011 04:17 PM

Congratulations on Initiation!
I don't know how I missed this thread when it was actually happening, but I welled up when you described how excited about bid day you were, it made me remember back to my bid day and running home to my Kappa sisters.
