Well, considering the president said it...but whatever, I'll continue.

Our Gamma Chis lead us back to a large meeting hall and had us sit in silence while we ranked. Still I could read the confused and at times, knowing faces of the other rushees. I struggled with my decision to rank. I didn’t want to disappoint either sorority but I also knew it wasn’t just my choice! I’d heard from a sophomore PNM that Plath places their favorites near the front on Skit Night. Wait…wasn’t I toward the back? She's got to making this up.

I went with my gut feeling and ranked. I knew that either sorority could make me happy but I had a feeling if I didn’t rank a certain one as my top choice I’d be standing on the sidelines on Bid Day wishing I was with…

Plath.

Therefore I ranked as follows..

Plath
Eliot
Thomas

(We were allowed to rank all four sororities, including ones that I had cut us and ones we had cut).

So am I right in assuming then that you never drank underage?

Not that this has anything to do with this thread, but yes, your assumption is correct. The legal drinking age was 18 when I was in school. I didn't drink alcohol until I was 20 and managed to be president of my sorority having never consumed a beer. :p

The next day was a quiet period between Pref Night and Bid Day. I swear the silence made time pass more slowly! By late afternoon, I was sitting alone in my room (I had a rather bizarre roommate who thankfully left for the weekend) counting the minutes. Our Gamma Chis were over fifteen minutes late! I walked out into the hall to find a group of frustrated PNMs. We were about to angrily dial their cell phones (stress!) when our Gamma Chis came flying down the hall with armfuls of jerseys. We quickly ran into our rooms and closed the doors. Unfortunately for me I was at the end of the hall…

Would I even get a bid?
And if so, was I a Plath or Eliot?
Would I be happy with the outcome?

A tap on my door. The Gamma Chis stood before me with a white envelope. I quickly tore it open and screamed. They handed me a jersey in the colors of…..

evil, evil, evil!!!!

MEAN!!!!!!

I shall not publicly destroy the surprise for people but if you search her posts you will find the answer...........:D

Hey shh!!!

....................





























PLATH!!!

























GREEN AND WHITE!!!




















That’s right I’m a….KAPPA DELTA!!




I couldn’t have been happier. One of new friends, Kate, was also a KD! I didn’t know many girls in pledge class but they were also so friendly and overjoyed as well! We got dressed in our jerseys and ran outside to meet our new sisters. Our reunited KD Gamma Chis joined us to run across a field to actives. My diamond sis was the KD President—she handed me a bag full of surprises, hugged me, and we went off to the Bid Day retreat!





Present Day: Kappa Delta has made me confident, outgoing, and driven. I adore my pledge class and can’t wait for new sisters in the fall. I think my rush story is significant in that at one point, I favored three sororities! It just goes to show, you never know where rush might take you. I’m now involved in Panhellenic at my college and a Kappa Delta Intern at our headquarters. Love in AOT!

Congrats!!! Will you tell us what school you're at?

Yay Kappa Delta! (of course I knew all along but it was fun to read)

This is another retro story that would be good for PNMs to read. You didn't realize that you had found your home until Preference. I wish more PNMs would stick it out. So many would have dropped at the point where you didn't get an invitation to Dylan Thomas.

Oh, and you're an intern at HQ? Expect PMs from me because I've got questions!


AOT from your "Evil Plastics" sister! lol

Leslie Anne :)

YAY! I actually made a little squeaking noise and clapped when I saw Kappa Delta! I'd been enjoying reading your story but there have been so many threads that I sort of stopped paying attention to which specific chapters are in the running for which stories! KD was a complete surprise and it made me particularly happy because I was a fan of your story all the way through :)
Hooray for finding your home and love in AOT sister!!

Haha, it cracks me up every time I think about her saying that! Of course, she had just heard that from someone else and didn't mean any harm. Still, it's hilarious because KDs on my campus tend to be laidback!


Yep, I'm working at the HQ. It's so much fun!

I'm a little worried about revealing my campus bc if PNMs from there go through rush and see this thread..I wouldn't want them to get the wrong idea. But I can reveal "the code" of my sororities.

That would be great, I can PM you for the school! :)

I absolutely LOVED your story. You pretty much stole my heart with the names of old dead poets and the fact you are an English major ;)

I am so happy that you found your home and are super involved with the wonderful ladies of KD.
