Okay so I was thinking about this today and I guess I should tell you whats happened so far, in September, before I started this board.

There are three sororites at my school and Ive decided to give them these code names: snowflake, candycane, and icicle. In the spirit of the winter holiday season.

I am freshman, and at my school freshman arent allowed to rush untill 2nd semester. My godmother was an Alpha Chi Omega so she really encouraged me to go informal rush events even though they couldnt offer me a bid. She is the one who explained to me the bonds of sisterhood she experieced in her sorority were the most important relationships for her adult life.

So I did go to the informal rush events in the Fall even though I couldnt be offered a bid. There were signs plastered all over campus that said "Your mother called, she said go candycane" ect, ect. I figured that way I wouldnt be so nervous come next semester when I had to make that decision because I would know what to expect. (Turns out informal rush and formal rush are completely different but, oh well!)

The first night, Monday was snowflake's info night. We were separated into groups and we went around to tables that were set up to represent each committee. I was one of the only freshmen that was there, but the sisters encouraged me to come back the next day. Tuesday they were making cards and writing letters to soldiers coming home from Iraq. I was originally planning on going to one of the other sororites, because I had not met any of them. But, because I have family members who have served over seas and because its something very close to my heart I decided that I would go back to snowflake. Then the next day, Wednesday they were having a purse party. I really needed a new purse and I had already made really good connections with most of the girls. So I went to snowflake again. During the purse party the recruiment chair pulled me aside and told me that she was going to make an announcement saying that everyone who was there was invited to an invite only night, but that I couldnt go because I dont have a GPA. She said that if I had one and I was a sophmore that I would definately be invited. But she didnt want to say everyone but Nell is invited, because she didnt want to be mean and that she hoped I understood. And I did understand, actually I was grateful! I thought that it was so nice that she had considered my feelings. She had been rushing around like crazy and it was really sweet that she took the time to consider me! And then I bought my purse, its adorable and I still use it today. Its a fake Kate Spade. Anyways then the president came over and pulled me aside too and said the same thing. It was really sweet. I didnt have the heart to tell her that I had just heard the same thing, because she was so sincere.

Side note, the other day I was walking to class trying to scarf down a bag of chips as quickly as possible so that I didnt starve and the president kinda walked over to me and picked the chip off my sweater that was kinda just chillen there on my chest. I have never been soo embarassed in my whole life.

So moral of the story, have breakfast before you have to go to class all day, and I havent met anyone icicles or candycanes.

I think thats it. I kinda have a slight prefrence to snowflakes. But everyone keeps on telling me not to put my eggs in one basket. If I didnt get a bid to snowflakes I would legit cry. So, thats all I wanted to say. P
lease leave me a response tell me what you think!
