how i joined DZ is actually an interesting story.... when i rushed, i had a definite favorite house, Delta Gamma, i knew a ton of girls in the house, loved it, loved them. also up there with DG was Alpha Chi Omega and Tri-Delt - Delta Zeta wasn't even on my mind! Thats probably because DZ was new to my campus this year - so i'm a founding sister!!! Anyway, as rushed was nearing its end, and i was going to preference parties for DG, AXO, and Tri-delt... i went and although they were really nice, i just didn't have that feeling i thought i would have when i found my perfect sorority - and that got me scared! this is a lifetime committment! so i decided to not sign my bid card! people were shocked!!! well, DZ immediatley contacted me and let me know that they were very interested in me coming to their formal rush, which was set apart from the other houses since they had just recolonized. I met with national representitives from DZ, interviewed, and was chosen with 33 other fabulous women to be founding sisters of the Iota chapter of Delta Zeta. I think it was the best choice i could have made - and it really reminded me that you have to go into things with an open mind - because i was so set on DG - and that really wasn't right for me! I'm very proud to be a DZ
