So, I went home that Wednesday and told my mom all about it. Come to find out, not only was my maternal grandmother in the high school sorority, she was also an Alpha Gamma Delta at University of Georgia. WOW! She passed away five years before I was born, and I had never ever thought to ask. Too bad there wasn't an Alpha Gamma Delta at my school. My mom really didn't want me to drive up there just for a meeting on Sunday and told me she would prefer if I joined the sorority that met on Monday. I told her that I would join whichever sorority I felt I belonged to.

I immediately got on the computer (surprise surprise) and went to both sororities national websites and read just about everything on both. (I was under the preconceived notion that we had a to take a test over the founders and philanthropy and such BEFORE we got our bid) Haha. I was very naive to greek life.

I barely slept that night, very excited about theme night the next night.

Theme Night
FINALLY, it was here! I was super excited about theme night. I loved all the girls right off the bat from both sororities. All the pnm's met in one room at the University and each of the sororities had their own room. We were separated again into two groups and each group visited a sorority then after a while, we switched.

***Side bar***
I see all these things about Rho Chis and rush leaders or whatnot... that's really all foreign to me. We were just split into two groups and two members from the University's panhellenic escorted us from one room to another. (The universities panhellenic was composed of two girls from each sorority who were of course disaffiliated during the time of recruitment.)

Anywho...

I walked into my first room. They had different corners set up. First, the pnms were split up into groups and each pnm group decorated a clay pot with paint. That was a lot of fun! The girls then just kinda chatted with us and time was up.

Then I was escorted into another room with the other sorority and it was a super cute candy land theme. They had us paint onto children's aprons. Each pnm was then whisked away by a current member. I am not good with names... which is why none are included. =/ Little did I know that the members were using rotation groups on me... sneaky sneaky. So, I learned about everything! (Not that I didn't already read and memorize it all via their national websites! =) ) Time was up and we all returned back to the original room.

We were informed about the party the next night and how it would go. We were explained how the pref cards worked and then the greek advisor took questions.

I drove back home very excited about everything! I felt so close to both groups and I knew that it would be super hard to choose one over the other!
