I'm glad it worked out for your guys.

When I was pledging the local that I pledged before I pledged SDT, we were asked if we were able to get a certain day off for a sleepover three weeks in advance. I knew I couldn't, as it was my sister's 16th birthday and I was throwing her a surprise party, and I told them that. We (the pledges) were aware that most likely, we were going to be initiated that day. To me, it didn't matter, my sister was more important (family, school & work first). I was told that if I couldn't make it I had to drop. It hurt, but I dropped. It sucked that Monday after to see my ex-big show up in class wearing a sweatshirt that she admitted to me after I would have had a matching one if I stayed because it was supposed to be a big/lil gift.

In the end...I'm glad that I dropped even though I knew it was only another 3 weeks until I became a sister. After the hell they put us through...I'm shocked I stayed that long to be honest.
