and now for the moment of truth......
The next day was bid day. We could go pick up our bids as early as 8AM. Again, all girls had to go pick up something. There would be a letter—either a bid or a “sorry”, so walking to the student organization center didn’t mean I was guaranteed a bid. I woke up at 8:45 (a little later than I wanted to, but oh well), got dressed and made my way to the office. Knowing my personality, I was relatively calm on that walk there. I made my way up the stairs to the office where I could get my card. A few panhellenic reps were there waiting for the PNM’s… A woman asked me for my name, and soon handed me an envelope...Still calm as ever I turned around and started to walk down the stairs and open up my envelope… It read….

I was so overwhlemed with happiness! I did tear up a little, I admit. It was just something that I was so excited for and couldnt wait for it to come and it was finally here. I kept wondering what it would be like if I finally got that bid, and to be holding it in my hand was just an amazing feeling! I went home, because we had a few hours before events would start. Later, we went back to the house for formal pledging, and bid day activities! I had such a great time meeting all the new girls. I realized that any doubts I had the night before were just nerves. I had finally found my home and it felt so good to be there!
WSPNM 1, 2, & 3, Grade School Friend, and Mean girl all received bids as well. I haven’t officially talked to Mean Girl yet, but we have given each other polite waves and smiles whenever we’ve seen each other around so far. I really don’t know what will happen with that…but whatever happens I know it will be for the best!!
Well that’s my story! I know it was long so thanks for bearing with me! But thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
