I hadn't met a single Tory who was negative or unkind. Several days after the party, I got what I was waiting for. A emailed me and said that they were in the process of issuing bids but that she would need me to send her a screenshot of my cumulative GPA from the official school website thing we use as a part of international bylaws. I quickly sent it to her and the waiting game began all over again. In my heart I felt like I had it, but I didn't want to jinx myself. I thanked my lucky stars that my GPA from last semester was good.

The next day at around 10:30 at night I got a call from A. She asked me how I was doing. I said I was great and asked her the same thing. She said she was doing great as well. My heart was pounding. She got to the point.

"I'm calling to let you know that we would like to extend to you a bid to join Tory Burch."

I was stunned. I was so happy I could hardly speak. All I could say was "Oh my gosh." A laughed and I said "I am so excited!" She said she was too and I could hear a smile in her voice. She let me know when and wear I could accept my bid if I wanted to and then we hung up.

I was in utter disbelief.




This is it!








I'm in!

























I'm going to be a Tory!

Otherwise known as...








































































ALPHA GAMMA DELTA!



I'm going to the greek life office on Friday to officially accept my bid! I feel so blessed to be welcomed into such an amazing sisterhood. I cannot wait until Friday and to spend the rest of the semester getting to know my tiny pledge class and the rest of my chapter and future sisters! I know Alpha Gam will change me for life and I am truly, truly thankful that they gave me a chance.

Squirrel power!

I came here looking for spring recruitment results and house pictures. At least UGAgirls93 came through for me!


Welcome to the sisterhood, UGAgirl93! I'm so happy for you and for Gamma Alpha!

Squirrel Power indeed!

What a wonderful story! As someone working for Alumnae Initiation, I love the your story. Most girls rush during fall and it's wonderful to see your tenacity and going after what you want. I applaud and admire you're courage!

Thanks, everyone! Our "Pajamarama" bid day celebration was yesterday and it was so amazing! These women are some of the sweetest I've ever met and they worked really hard to make us all feel at home. The house is a maze, by the way. It's enormous and so pretty!

Thank you for sharing. By the way, GCers, the UGA paper has a posting about the 10 oldest chapters at UGA. Houses are shown, including, of course, what looks like a hugeicious Alpha Gamma Delta house. That pic and others are at
