house tours, preference etc. were all fun but we all know that one of the most exciting days of recruitment is bid day! The day where you finIally got to go to your new home!
I remember that bid day was on a monday and it was supposed to start at 4pm! That was one of the longest days ever! I couldn't wait to find out what house I would end up in..I arrived around 3:45pm (could you tell I was excited?) and there were already a huge line of girls waiting. On my campus, we met with our Rho chi's individually and they gave us our bid cards. It was done privately just in case someone didn't get a bid or didn't like their house. Finally my Rho chi called me in...she sorted through the envelopes and handed me mine....The sorority that gave me a bid was....
THE LITTLE MERMAID!!!
also known as....
Alpha Omicron Pi !
At the beginning of the recruitment process, I couldn't see myself as an AOII but now I couldn't see myself anywhere else. I love AOII with all my heart! Actually, the girl who ended up with me on preference day became my big sis!
