I had never been so excited to walk the long walk to campus as this day. I walked to my group leader, they gave me an envelopeand told me to sit on it (they did not want us to try to decipher where we got a bid to till they did their speel). my leaders revealed themeselves (a Marissa and a Ryan). They talked about hw much they enjoyed this process with us andtold us as soon as we opened up our envelopes to RUN to the house to join our sisters!
1.........2........3.......
I opened up my letter!!!!!!
This is a bid for 'aprocess' to join the house of....
Marissa.....
I was devestated. But like the other girls who ran to their house, I speed walked to Marissa. As I walked I could not figure out where I went wrong. I thought it was all good. I knew I wanted to be affiliated. Espescially since I had been so envious of my roomate and the memoreies she created her college year. So I continued to speed walk.
i passed several other houses--including serena. That one made me so sad. I saw all the girls I had met during the week. I started to walk slower now.
It stuck me.
I did not know one girl's name in marissa. I knew at least 12 in Serena, but not one girl stuck out or I had a memorale time with. This depressed me. I thought this was my decision, i thought both houses wanted me and I got to pick where I ended up. I did not know what happened.
I decided to make a left at a street away from the houses. I called my roomate so she could pick me up.
I no longer had a boyfriend I could cry to like I did last year. I felt so rejected.
My roomate came and picked me up and took me home where i wasn't just depressed about recruitment, but that i had n one to share that feeling with who would understand.

Honestly, I'm surprised too. It might just be me, but if I were rushing a girl who said "I found my home is XYZ" I can't say I would want her to be high on our bid list. Like I wouldn't want someone in my chapter or even give that "spot" to someone who has said that they basically wouldn't want to be there. Does that make sense?
Something tells me that this sounds like it was a computer glitch. That you were supposed to be matched with Serena but somehow you got matched with Marissa.
