GreekChat.com Forums - Greek Chat Lover's Spring Recruitment Story...Under Alias!

Lets fast forward to Pref day! I woke up, straightened my hair, put on my dress, makeup, and heels. I walked over to where my Rho Gamma group met and sat nervously, waiting for my invites.

The Rho Gammas talked for quite a while, warning us that the sororities had made a lot of cuts. I wanted to throw up at that point, I was so nervous. I sat there for what seemed like hours, shaking in my chair and waiting for my Rho Gammas to stop talking and give us our invites.

I was among the last to recieve my invite slip. It read:

Pinto
Hoover
Boon

I was psyched! I was so happy with my invites, and I was also so relieved that I didn't have to fake interest in Babs anymore. It wasn't fair to them that someone like me, who didn't fit in at all, would have to keep faking it for them. I ran outside to stop shaking, and Lani, who apparently had good news (she had Pinto, Hoover, and her favorite, Dean Wormer), ran outside and nearly knocked me over in a bone crushing hug. I hugged her back, and we did the screaming crying thing.

Bad idea. I turned around and saw Amanda crying. She only had Babs. Other girls were there, crying as well. It was really emotional, and I hadn't expected anything like this. I started to feel awful, like I didn't deserve my invites when other girls were so upset.

I walked back into the room, and the Rho Gammas started to go over protocol, when Lisa walked in. One of the Rho Gammas handed her her schedule. She looked at it and said, "No otter? Fuck this! Fuck all you dumbshit sorority girls, I'm legit out of here!" She turned on her Marc Jacobs clad heel and stalked out of the room. Gooood grief. Some people.

I had my break first, and I sat in the student center and learned where everyone had gotten invites to. Alexandra had Pinto and Hoover, and to her dismay, Babs. She only wanted Pinto. It took some time, but I convinced her not to drop. Jamie only had Pinto and Hoover, and didn't like Pinto but was okay with Hoover. She was pissed that I had Boon and she didn't. What was I to say to that? Kirsti had Pinto, Hoover, and Bluto.

Break ended, and I began pref.

Boon- It began with a very solemn ceremony. We were called in, and they welcomed us by announcing each pnms name. The sister preffing them would hand them a candle, and we blew it out together. I had a wonderful chat with my sister, and then we were led to another room, where the sisters sat in a circle on the floor. There were testimonials, and I felt my eyes welling up with tears. I knew here that I really loved Boon.

Pinto- The tone here was serious as well, but far less solemn. We were handed a flower as we came in, and I went to sit down with the sister who preffed me. I was served raspberry sherbert, and sparkling cider. The ceremony was gorgeous, and it was here that I really began to cry. I knew that I loved Pinto, and was going to have a very hard time making my choice. I had a hard time leaving. When I walked outside, tears were still streaming down my face.

Hoover- I was announced alone as I walked in. A girl came out of a seperate room and welcomed me. I hadn't met her before, but she told me she had to pref me when she found out what the other girls had said about me. She led me to a room where there was a cookie with my name on it, and chocolate covered strawberries. We had a great conversation, and I knew I liked it at Hoover. However, when it came to the ceremony, which had singing and testimonials, I couldn't cry. I tried to cry. I loved Hoover, and I loved the girls. I wasn't emotional at all though. Still, I knew that filling out my pref card would be hard.

I went down to the large room in the student center where we filled out our rankings. It took me an hour to walk into the computer and finally make my choices. I had unexpectedly felt very comfortable at Boon, and I loved the girls there. Hoover had been amazing each time, but I was less sure. I loved Pinto, but I didn't know where to place them on my preference card. I couldn't ask my Rho Gammas, because I knew that it was my choice. After an hour of deliberation, I walked over to the computer, and made my choice.

I ranked:
1. Pinto
2. Boon
3. Hoover

Though I knew that I had maximized my options, I was still nervous. Who knew what would happen? The Rho Gammas would call me by 9am if I did not recieve a bid, so I still had twelve hours to go. I didn't want to talk to anyone else rushing, so I went over to my best friends room (who was not rushing), and cried it out. We watched a movie, and I went back to my room, took Tylenol PM, and went to bed.

The next morning, I awoke around 8:30, and started to get dressed for Bid Day...
