Skit Day

Twist
I am hoping to meet a few more girls here today. My last rusher was very shy and I had to carry the conversation. Overall I have enjoyed all the girls I have met here, so I ranked them in my top seven. I didn’t want one girl to sway my decision about this sorority….I am so glad that I did!! My rusher today was so bubbly and sweet! The skit was really cute! I enjoyed being here today.

Vault
I was so pumped about this sorority earlier in the week. I have enjoyed getting to know the girls and they have always made me feel comfortable. The skit was cute. I’m not sure this is my dream sorority, but I definitely would not be disappointed if this is my home.

Flip
I talked with my mom about Flip. I am so afraid to completely open my heart to these girls. My mom advised me to look at the total sorority. She said that one girl should not determine my feelings for the whole sorority. I took her advice and went in with an open mind. I had the most fun. I feel that I fit in and have so much in common with soooo many girls in Flip! Their skit was one of the best so far. Hilarious! As I was leaving I saw one of the girls I talked with earlier in the week and walked over to say goodbye. We had a really nice quick conversation. I didn’t realize until the end of the conversation, but my high school “friend” was standing near through the whole conversation. I smiled and spoke to her and she smiled back. She didn’t say anything…

Cartwheel
I had a nice time here, but I know it is not the place for me. There isn’t anything wrong with the girls…I just know that it is not the place for me. The skit was fine and the girls were great. I would not be devastated if I end up with these girls for sure.

Dismount
Beautiful girls! I really liked everyone I met here! I had great conversations and the skit was really cute.

Leap
I love these girls! This may very well be my home! All week I have had that feeling of home and comfort. The skit was okay, not one of the best of the day. I am not choosing based on acting performances…I want real sisters with a real sisterhood. I may have found that with these girls. LOVE!

Aerial
These girls are so impressive! Everything is beautiful and the skit was so funny! I loved everyone I talked with today. I talked with many of the girls I met during the week as well. I feel that I fit here.

We met with our PiChi to rank our top three. I knew exactly who I wanted to rank in my top two spots, but the third spot I was not so sure about. The only sorority that even came close to my top two was FLIP. I'm not so sure ranking Flip in the third spot is the smart thing to do no matter how much I like them. I like many of the other sororities that I was fortunate to be invited to for skit day. It's so confusing. I am tired and just worn out emotionally and just questioning my judgement. I found my PiChi and explained the whole high school drama and how I was feeling. She was so sweet and assured me that I shouldn't choose a sorority based on one girl, nor should I eliminate a sorority based on one girl. So, this is how I ranked for Pref Day....


1. Aerial
2. Leap
AND






3. FLIP ---I hope I did the right thing
Our PiChi said that if we didn't receive a phone call that we would have a bid on Bid Day.

It's finally Pref Day! My PiChi sent a group text to let us know that we all had invites for the day! I know that I have at least one party today, so that is a relief. We all were instructed to meet at 7:30 to get our invitation list. I have never been so nervous in all my life. When everyone arrives our PiChi begins to distribute the invitation lists......I close my eyes and say a quick prayer. I see at the top of my list.....




Aerial
Leap




And.....
Dismount! A quick response of anger...then excitement for my top two!

Pref Day
Dismount
Again, these are the most gorgeous girls I have ever seen! I feel so humbled to be invited for Pref with these girls. The first girl that I talked with this week met me as I walked I. Everything was beautiful! She told me how much her sisters had meant to her over the past year. She said she could see me as one of her sisters. I really like these girls!

Leap
I was met at the door by my brother's friend. We had a great conversation about what this sorority meant to her. Several girls stood up and talked about being a legacy and how important it was to them to share this bond with their mom. It was very touching. Love these girls!

Aerial
My summer work friend met me at the door. We had such a wonderful conversation. She told me so many things about her sorority and how important it had been in her life. Each girl I talked to today said something about why they thought I was meant to be a part of their sisterhood. WOW!

The line to make final rankings was soooo long. I was ready to rank. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

I can honestly say that I have had the most wonderful week! I will be honored to receive an invitation to any of the three sororities on my list! Of course, I hope to find Aerial on my invitation, but I will be excited for any invitation onPref day! If I don't receive a call I should have a bid from one of the sororities on my list! I can't wait!:)

No phone call! My roommate and I hurry to dress and head to our meeting place. I see my PiChi holding our group's sign! We all brought our cameras and took pictures until time to receive our bids! Our group formed such a great bond during the week. Finally, all the PiChi's are given our bids in a beautiful bright bags. Shrieks of joy are floating through the air, crying and jumping and running girls are everywhere. My Pi Chi places my bid in my hands and I rip it open with shaking hands to see ................

AGD was my favorite all week. I knew from the first day this was where I was meant to be! I know that recruitment is not always such a positive experience for so many girls. My week was not without some disappointment,but it was pretty great as a whole.the best advice I was given was to keep an open mind because every sorority has something special to offer. There isn't a bad sorority on my campus. I have friends from my PiChi group and dorm from every sorority on campus and I love each one of them. I think that is important to note for any one reading my story who will be going through recruitment next year. We are all friends and respect one another.

Congratulations! Would you like to share your school?

Just interested 11-28-2012 01:00 AM

Congratulations to you and to Alpha Gam! It was a win, win. Enjoy your sisterhood.

AOII Angel 11-28-2012 01:06 AM

Comgratulations on matching with your number one choice. Hope you enjoy a lifetime of sisterhood in Alpha Gamma Delta!

Thank you all so much! I don't think I will share the name of my university...just that it is an SEC school. I know that many girls did not have the experience that I did in recruitment. The main reason that I posted my story was to let up coming pnm's know that it can be a great experience! There are great girls in every sorority on my campus. It would be an honor to receive a bid to any of them. Don't get caught up in other's opinions.

adpimiz 11-28-2012 01:41 AM

Understandable! Congratulations to you and Alpha Gamma Delta!
