I'm so glad you chose to attend Doug's pref party. You have succeeded at keeping an open mind during recruitment, and hopefully you'll be rewarded with a bid. Good luck.:)


PS- I don't curse, fight, or eat fried chicken constantly either. Stereotypes are so silly. :p

Good for you for hanging in there!! Let us know what happens!

whatever happens, you did the right thing and finished the journey. glad doug's pref was positive and you had a good time. now, hopefully no early phone calls and you can see what the next step is.

noone will ever know which order you ranked the sororities, so don't fret about that. i hope you have good news this a.m.

*good vibes* way to keep an open mind :) Hope you have a great day no matter what happens.

I don't fight, but I do cuss and eat fried chicken- and I really like rap music- but I am white, is that okay?
-- just trying to point out that stereotyping is beyond overrated.

Good luck with bid day and as weird as it sounds evrything works out in the end for the right reasons- whether you get Doug or PepperAnn. Finding a home is an incredible thing!

Good Luck sweetie!!!!!!


Sending positive vibes your way that you get you top choices of Pepperann or Doug.




Let us know when you can!!!! Inquiring minds have to know. LOL.

I am so happy that you enjoyed the pref party!!!! I have to say that just by reading this thread, I know that ANY of those 4 organizations would be LUCKY to have you as a member!

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and hoping that you get your home! Can't wait to find out how it went. :)

Best of luck today. You sound like a great young lady with alot of common sense and a very bright future. Hope the day goes just as you hope.

Well its 9:05 and I havent gotten any messages so I think I got a bid. I can't wait. I will definately update as soon as possible. Thanks again to all of u who have been more then supportive. ;)

I remember reading a quote somewhere on GC that a girl heard from a brother. I am paraphrasing but "Its not whether u pledge the best sorority, but that u graduate from the best" I know thats not exactly right, but I totally understand this quote now. And I know that no matter what I will graduate from the best;)

I think she said they pick up their bids at 10:00! YAY! :eek:

Yep 10! Ummm I'm excited.

I really hope that things work out for you! I am so impressed with your character that I think any sorority woud be proud to have you as a sister. You seem to have a lot of class and a good head on your shoulders. Best of luck to you!

GOOD LUCK!!!! Hoping that a home is in your future!

Well since she isnt around and it is past 10AM I imagine she is with her new sisters!

I have a feeling I know which org it is, but that's just a gut thing!

OMG I'm so impatient.

I can't wait to find out which house she got a bid too.

(of course I'm hoping that it happens to be ADPi ;))

Me too, I keep checking back to see if she has returned!

The suspense is killing me http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...ad/nervous.gif

I cannot wait to find out :)

OMG I'm seriously getting so impatient.



Hey, who has the bamboo shoots? Has she posted her? If so tell her to get them out. Let's go ;)

Though I've been silent so far, I've been following this thread and ALL day at work I was thinking about this girl!! I hope things worked out! I thought for sure when I got home there would be some results!!!

Don't make me break out the vice grips and bamboo shoots. I got them right here...after the day I had at work, I am ready to bring on the pain :D

I have to admit I sped home from work to check this thread out. I am kinda a betting woman (blackjack and craps were good to me in Vegas) :D

I am betting that no news is good news and I am betting that she is kicking it with her new girls!

It is 7PM in Texas so I think we should chill :)

Its 7pm in her part of Texas (cause not all of TX is in the Central time zone).

Ive been coming back to see if she's updated and she hasn't!! UGH! I dont know how much more suspense I can take. But at least we can hope that she's having a great time!!!

Cool, that is me that she quoted. I am so excited for her. I mean it is kind of funny that all of us have check this forum a million times, but I remember BID Day and the first thing on my mind wasnt telling a bunch of GC'rs what sorority I chose. (then again GC wasnt around when I was in school actually WWW wasnt big yet when I was in school)

So she is either pepperann or doug (or the other 2 but i forgot them) I assume Doug since that is where she preffed.

woo hoo

Being the dork that I am and being how internet dependent I am (LOL). I'd probably find a way to post to let y'all know. LOL.
For me personally, I'd be like "they were supporting me I have to tell them". But that is just me :D and I'm a dork. :)




I just hope she is happy. With whatever happened.

I keep checking in too. I am at home with nothing to do. So what else do you expect me to think about? :)

Argh! :mad: I"m dying here :(

Ladies (and Gents) -

Please calm down. When and if she posts, the thread will get tagged as unread and you can find out the outcome at that time.

Hi ladies. So I guess I owe yall an update. Well my internet at my apartment isn't working yet so I couldn't post. So sorry. I bet yall were as excited as I was b/4 ten on bid day. well I am now a very proud sister of Doug...........











































Or as they are better known as Sigma Sigma Sigma. Yesssssss! I really had a great time with them and now I know I made the perfect decision. But yeah all the sororities at my school are great. PepperAnn was ADPi, BraceFace was ZTA, and Lizzie was AXO.

I feel a real connection with these girls so all is great. I went out to eat twice. First with all my new sisters, and then later with a select few. I really feel a good connection to the girl I talked to on Pref night. Thanks so much to you all for all your encouragement and good wishes that helped me see the silver lining and not miss out on such a great experience. Next weekend we are having a sisterhood retreat. Yay for getting even closer to my sisters.

Congratulations!! I just had a feeling it was going to be Sigma Sigma Sigma

Yay, Welcome to our sisterhood!!!!

Be sure to come over to the Sigma forum and introduce yourself and tell us about the other new Sigmas at SHSU!

Congrats!

*SLAM*

:D

HEY GREAT!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Wonderful thread. Thank you for everything you posted.

I really hope you enjoy your first sisterhood retreat.

Congratulations to you! I'm glad you found a place to be happy, and I'm sure that since you put SOO much thought into your decision, it is definitely the right one for you. Now, a thought.... While recruitment is fresh on your mind, take a few minutes to write down some thoughts about your chapter's recruitment process. Remember things you liked and things you disliked (I know you have them cause you've mentioned them in your thread!). Chances are, your chapter's recruitment chair will do a survey / questionnaire to get some feedback from the new member class. Remember to be constructive in your criticism - it is important to know when they are doing something wrong that could turn potential members off in the future. Things like saying "We really really really want you," (which could even be an infraction depending on SHSU's recruitment guidelines - it is at ETSU). Even if one of the officers doesn't do a written survey, you'll have your notes for when the new recruitment chair takes office and begins planning for the next formal recruitment period.

Then to a lesser extent, make a note of things you might have liked in other chapters. And I'm not talking chapter-specific things like philanthropy and skit that you would be "ripping off." I'm thinking things like how many of their members you talked to, something that was said to you that made an impression....

Again, congratulations and best wishes in your new sorority! We don't have a Sigma Sigma Sigma, so I don't know much. But I know JocelynC seems awfully cool on GC! :D

Congratulations!!!




Okay I must admit I just screamed NOOOO, OH MY GOD!!!! Because pepperann was us. (I'm actually laughing like "omg" laughter)


Either way...


I am so happy that you stuck with it and found your home!!!!


If I could give you a hug I would.


Next best thing...



(((((((((silmil20)))))))))))

Thanks so much for sharing your story with us. I'm so glad that you stayed with it and found your home in Sigma Sigma Sigma! Congratulations!

Congratulations on Sigma Sigma Sigma !

Enjoy your new member period!

Ditto! :) (((HUGS)))

If you don't mind my asking, did your roommate pledge Sigma Sigma Sigma as well?
