sammie17,
I have had so many great memories of being in my sorority but I think my most favorite one is when I received my bid. My biological sister, who is also my sorority sister, was a Rho Chi that year. She thought that I was going to go ADPi, hands down, and she was totally freaking out about it. However, I knew all along that I was going to go Zeta, even though I really liked the ADPis.
I have to explain a little about how Panhellenic on my campus went about distributing bid cards that year before I go on with my story or it'll make no sense. The bid cards were handed to the girls behind the stage while the Rho Chis are on stage ready to put bid day t-shirts on the new members. The collegiate members were on the ground below the stage awiating the new girls. Once a girl gets her bid card, she runs up on stage and goes to the sorority she got a bid from and the Rho Chis put a bid day shirt on her and they hug her and let her go into the audience of her new sisters. I hope this makes sense.
Okay, that being said, so when I was handed my bid card behind the stage, I was so excited! I waited my turn in line to go up on the stage but by this point I was already balling my eyes out. I ran up on stage and my sister had her back to me and I just grabbed her and started hugging her. At first she didn't realize who I was but after a few seconds, she started hugging me back and crying hysterically and we stayed on that stage for 5 minutes hugging and crying. It still makes me start tearing up every time I talk about it. Anyway, I think that that was my favorite memory from being a collegiate member.
