Being an RA at my school was really more of an inconvenience for the chapters, rather than the Residence Life Office. Some of our "best and brightest" sisters were neutral RAs, and therefore unable to help with recruitment. This became a big problem my senior year because we had become more popular, but we looked small because a lot of PMNs came back and we had to double rush them. I think it's a shame when both organizations can't find a way to agree - we are all trying to help freshman women feel more at home on campus!!

Okay so I suppose I should finish up my story now that I've sparked so much conversation on RA's and Rushing.

So I went to Sensual Amber for the informal party. I was paired up with a really nice girl who showed me around the house & we talked for quite some time, then 3 more girls came over and all three of them were talking with me, we watched a really cute video about what it means to be a Sensual Amber, then I talked with one more girl. I saw several people I knew, including the girl who had shown me around a year ago at 07 informal spring. Many of the girls who I had met before knew me and mentioned how glad they were I was back. I had such a great time at this house! I was so nervous and excited I really hoped I would hear back from them!

The next day I was sitting in English when my phone started vibrating for a call and it was a weird number, obviously being in class I didn't answer, but checked my messages IMMEDIATLY after class... it was someone from sensual amber & they wanted me to call back. So I returned the call and I was offered a bid to Sensual Amber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Before I accepted/signed the bid I needed to make sure it was okay with my bosses, and tell my parents. I hunted down my bosses; my male boss (direct supervisor) gave me the okay with no hesitation (which was SHOCKING) especially after the hard time he had given me before. Then just to be certain I found the building director to make sure it was okay, and she Okayed it too... Then I had to tell my parents, who were totally fine with it as long as it was my number one choice this time. (Which it was :)) So that night I went over to sign the bid.

Things are just really starting to get going now which is very exciting...
But I know what everyone is really waiting for (maybe I should have one more cliff hanger.....:p)

That would be too mean I've already given you guys enough cliff hangers - -



I'm proud to say that I signed a bid with...

Congrats to you and DELTA ZETA!

Congratulations to you and DZ!

And my apologies for starting the RA hijack ;)

The college where I joined wouldn't allow RAs to rush their first semester as an RA. I didn't rush my freshman year because of a sports team rule, and I ended up turning down an RA position so I could rush sophomore year. I thought (and still think) it was a really stupid rule, but since there are a lot of local organizations on that campus that engage in hazing, I can see why they have it.

Congratulations on your bid to Delta Zeta!!! Welcome to the sisterhood!!

tell us your code!!
