Congratulations and best wishes.
Did everyone else catch the coincidence? The chapter house pictured in the article mentioned below is Alpha Gamma Delta! Something else a little special for <3pinky<3 -- I think 2007 is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the AGD chapter at Indiana. If that's right, pinky and her sisters will probably have some very special events and ceremonies (and work) to remember for life. Quote:

Sorority recruitment ends in smiles Bid day concludes process as sisters greet new members by Michelle Manchir Indiana Daily Student Published Monday, January 8, 2007 Freshman Lucy Rodriguez beamed as she stood among her new sisters in matching navy and gray hooded sweat shirts upon the steps of Delta Gamma on Sunday afternoon. "I couldn't be more excited," she said, clasping her fingers. Rodriguez was one of more than 800 women who received invitations to be members of one of the 19 Panhellenic Association sorority chapters at IU. The women's recruitment process, which began in early December with 19-Party, concluded this weekend with first and second invite on Friday and Saturday and, finally, bid day on Sunday. "It's a long process," said Rodriguez, who said she had witnessed crying throughout the week from other pledging women on her floor in McNutt Quad. "But mostly everyone was happy." After the freshman and sophomore pledges received their invitations in their dorm rooms Sunday, they boarded double-decker buses to their respective houses. Awaiting them were their new sisters, armed with sweat shirts, hugs and sometimes rehearsed cheers. Panhellenic Assocation's Vice President of Recruitment Kelly Jones, a senior, said recruitment started out with more than 1,600 women signed up. She said many drop out of the process on their own accord, failing to enjoy what they encounter while visiting the chapters during 19-Party. Others drop out because they don't meet the GPA requirements, which vary from house to house. Jones also acknowledged that not all women who complete the recruitment process receive a bid. A woman is chosen for a particular house when both the individual and sorority "preference" one another during first and second invite parties. Both the sororities and potential recruits rank their choices, and a chapter's picks must match each individual woman's for her to be invited back for the next round. Alpha Phi President Kait Behan, a junior, said her chapter recruited 47 new members, one more than last year. Like her peers, she expressed excitement but felt the effects of missing out on sleep from the long weekend. "My voice sounds like a man right now," she said. "It was worth it. We were so happy with every girl we got." Jones compared the recruitment weekend to being part of a "three-day long interview." "It does take a lot of time but it gives (prospective new members) the chance to experience all the houses," she said. After being greeted on the houses' lawns, new recruits were invited inside for reintroductions and photographs, but also to learn their obligations for the rest of the semester. While new recruits don't move into the houses until next school year, they must attend pledge-class meetings. Rodriguez is looking forward to the semester with her newfound friends. "It makes a big campus seem a lot smaller," she said. |
Congrats to you and AGD!

This is a fabulous story! CONGRATS on Alpha Gam!
I didn't start reading it until now, unfortunately. I'm especially interested b/c my little sister just went through rush at IU. Her story ended a little differently, though. She had full schedules every day of rush, she has a great resume and grades, she's gorgeous and dresses well, she knows some people in most houses, and she is a legacy of one of the sororities there (I'm a Theta), so she thought she had a decent chance. Of the 3 she visited on pref night, one of them was out of the question because the girl she talked to literally said "We really want you here in XYZ so tell me where else you've been asked back to and I'll tell you bad stuff about them." There were other reasons, too, for not wanting XYZ, but I'll refrain from mentioning them for anonymity's sake. So she didn't even list them when she signed her bid. Her first choice after prefs was, incidentally, AGD. Yesterday she found out that she did not get a bid back either of the two she wanted, and to make matters worse, her best friend got a bid for AGD. She was on a list of people who got a bid to XYZ, but it was the worst fit for her, so she's not sure how that happened. Sadly, that kind of story is far too common. A girl on my sister's floor had the same thing happen, she got all her top choices back each round and then after prefs did not get a bid. Other friends of hers got only 2 or 3 houses back after the first cut! IU has a truly brutal system (what is up with counting beds?? I'm sure some girls would love to be in their first-choice house, even if there wasn't room for them to stay there. Theta's pledge class was 38 there b/c of that limitation-- a fifth of the amount of girls that rushed at IU went through rush at my school, and our new member class was quota +1 at 21-not that much less!). So I'm really proud of your positive attitude through all of this, and AGD is very lucky to have you as a new sister! I'm glad your story turned out well! <3 |
