I went through formal rush, and knew that Theta was the house for me. I loved each and every girl I met, all open, caring, and intelligent women I knew I could bond with. I was running for a Miss America Local title and ended up winning, so I felt I couldn't balance it all, and couldn't accept a Bid from Theta. From the day that I turned down the bid, I knew that I had made a huge mistake, but there wasn't much I could do about it. During the next year, I kept in touch with several Thetas, and met new ones, but never really thought of going back since I was still active in pageant. When I was getting ready to give up my title, a Theta ran in my pageant, and I instantly bonded with her (she picked me up during rush), she convinced me to go to an Open House, and the next thing I knew, I was a signing a bid 4 days later. I have never been so happy in my life, without my sisters, I wouldn't be who I am today.
