Hahaha the candy bars thing only came about because I happened to have a Dark Chocolate Twix in my hand at the time that I was munching on.
So I woke up today, showered, and walked to the meadow area where they were handing out bids, my heart pounding and my head feeling a little light.
Would I get a bid or would I not?
I go to the table, where the guy is like, "You're Jestor Jestor right?"
"Yeah."
"I just saw you in here. Let me take a look."
He flips through the cards and I'm getting more and more tense by the moment.
Then he hands me the card and says something that I don't really hear because I'm too busy staring at it.

I got
two bids!
Dark Chocolate Twix and
Three Musketeers both extended me an offer!!!!!!
I quickly thanked the guys at the table who told me that if I was going to accept a bid to just go to the house in question.
Then I dashed away from the table and just stood under a tree for a while, wiping away tears of joy that were in my eyes. I've wanted to be Greek ever since high school and I was afraid by this time that I was too old to be accepted and I thought I'd blown it with Dark Chocolate Twix. Being Greek seemed like just a pipe dream and now, not one but *two* fraternities wanted me as their brother.
This probably sounds silly but that was a huge deal to me, to know that more than one fraternity wanted me and that I had a decision to make. It made me feel like I was somebody really special and that I was wanted.
So after I calmed down from my teary-eyed outburst of happiness, I looked at the card again. While you might have expected that I would have dashed off to Dark Chocolate Twix right away, I wanted to take some time to reflect on it. After all, 3 Musketeers had grown a lot on me over the week and I gave some very serious consideration to their bid.
But in the end, my footsteps carried me to the house of Dark Chocolate Twix and I became one of the newest members of....
Sigma Chi!
