sounds like maybe...you are jessie's girl.
fingers crossed.
more immediately important...don't get a head cold from catching all those beads in the traditional manner. your chest could get a bit chilly.

Praying that you'll be a "Jessie" when you open your bid card tomorrow!!!

Sounds wonderful! Fingers crossed that you'll be Jessie's girl too! :D

Hey Everyone!! You guys are soooo amazingly nice, and I am hoping that all of your well wishes and vibes are going to pay off! They certainly have made my recruitment experience all that much better!

Before I get to the final rundown (and revealing of who I preffed!!!) I would like to respond the the lovely mmcat:

Oh my goodness, I was rolling on the floor laughing to this. Fortunately, no self-respecting local (or in my case, wannabe local) would ever let her junk be seen at parades. I earned my beads the old-fashioned way: yelling at the top of my lungs. Ahhh, tonight was so much fun, and if you all havent been here this time of the year, I would definitely reccomend it.

Anyway, this afternoon was beautiful. I went to Slater and then to Jessie, which is funny because I went to Jessie after Slater every single time.

Slater was absolutely beautiful. Their decorations were beautiful and all of the girls looked so pretty in their black dresses. It started to rain right as we left the meeting area, but one of my supportive guy friends called asking if I had an umbrella, which he then ran over to me...awww. Anyway, I ended up getting to Slater after girls had already entered the house, so the order was all messed up. Anyway, I was preffed by one of my good friends, which was really nice. The girls had made little pref books for everyone, and mine was written by all of my girlfriends that I love and miss so much. Unfortunately, I didnt have time to read it all, and I was assured that if I was there tomorrow it would be given to me as a keepsake. I had nice, comfortable conversation with her, and it wasnt really about the organization (I think I already know a lot more about them than I should as a PNM, just from osmosis) The girls sang a beautiful song and the ceremony was really nice, but my heart just wasnt in it. Even so, if tomorrow my bid says Slater, I will be ecstatic.

Jessie again blew me away. I was preffed by three girls (actually the three girls I talked to yesterday) and they did such an amazing job of making me feel so loved and welcome. TravelGirl especially told me so many nice things and even said that she loves me. My favorite thing that she said went like this:

"You know, everyone always said that at some point in my sorority career I would meet a girl in rush that I absolutely click with and really want as my sister. Well, you are that girl"

I wanted to cry!! I was so flabergasted that I could hardly speak, let alone make coherent sentences, but hopefully that wont be a big deal. All of the girls talking to me said that I am "So Jessie" Which made me really happy. The ceremony was beautiful as was the singing (they sounded like Angels, sheesh!) Then, at the end, a girl that was in one of my classes last semester that I really never spoke with said "I am really sad that I didnt get to know you earlier, but hopefully that will change. I really hope I see you tomorrow" It was sooooo nice.

Anyway, you already know how I ordered it, so I guess now it is time for the great reveal:

Slater = Theta

and

Jessie = Chi Omega!!!

So, I will update tomorrow!! Ahhh!!

go girl...
may today be nothing but wonderful for you.
fingers crossed.

Good luck today! :D

Whenarebids?

Whenarebids?

AHHHHH!!! That's all I can say, *tear*:D

I am sooo excited for bid day today for you. I woke up today and thought "oh my gosh, check GC, did she post yet" haha. Of course hoping you are jessie (and no biases here wink wink)


Kim

11am... They were issued a hour ago.

Ahhhh this is an exciting thread! I hope you get Chi O, Rollwave!

It's killing me!!! WHere are you celebrating today?!!?!?!

She has to go home eventually. Maybe she can just use a computer at the bid day party?

I'll bet she is so happy. She is not thinking about us on pins and needles.

Man oh man, I have chapter in a little and I wont be here for when she announces her new home is..... AHHHHH What is a girl to do!

Im sure she is having a blast tho :)

Let's just remember and respect the fact that not every PNM is happy as can be come bid day...She will post when she is ready.

And even if she did get her first or second choice, she is probably living it up with her new sisters right now.

Rollwave, I hope you are happy right now, wherever you are!

Hey Ladies!!!

I just got home and I am a proud new member of

CHI OMEGA!!!!!

AHHHHH, I am so happy, I am so excited, and I am on cloud nine.

Today was a lot of fun... Bids werent handed out until like 11:30 (those thirty minutes in the Auditorium were KILLING me!) and then we found out which Sorority each Gamma Chi was in. Mine were all in Kappa, which was cool, but I never really bonded with any of them (you lovely ladies were my Gamma Chis...) Then, we opened our bids and mine said Chi Omega and we were all soooo happy.

We loaded onto a bus and headed to a Mexican Restaurant on St. Charles, where we got our tee shirts and our Bid day Buddies/ Owl Pals. Mine is the girl that rushed me on the very first day, the girl that TravelGirl wanted me to meet on the skit night, and who preffed me last night. She is super super sweet, and is from California also. Then we ate Tacos (mmm!!) and I met a bazillion girls.

Oh! On the bus we learned all of the songs that they couldnt sing to us during Recruitment, and they were all so funny and completely unexpected.

Then, we headed back to the house, were serenaded by 4 frats (all of whom told us that we were their favorites)introduced ourselves to the entire chapter, and laughed at the Seniors (who, while we were at Lunch, were at a Champagne Brunch), took pictures, and got goodie bags.

It was such a great day, and I am looking forward to an excellent pledge period and experience with Chi O for the rest of my life.

Thank you guys so much for all of your support, kind words, and advice. You all made my experience so much easier and so much better, and I will forever be indebted to the kind ladies on GC!! See you all on other boards!!
