Actually the call wasn't from Purple...
or Red...
or Green...
it was Blue!
I went to the COB event at Blue and had a great time getting to know the sisters. it was a much more relaxed setting than the parties during formal rush. I left with a great feeling about Blue, and accepted the bid they gave me the following week. I jumped into the pledge class that had been given bids through formal rush and was initiated with them a few weeks later. It was hard though because I felt like since I came in late, I didn't get to establish that bond with my pledge sisters that they had from the beginning. Until this day I'm still not as close with them as I would like, and sometimes I feel like we just have nothing in common. I have become friends with a lot of the older girls, including my Big who I'm very close with. I love Blue as a whole. It is a great sorority with great ritual and traditions, and it is very hard to get a bid from Blue at other schools. There is a long line of famous Blue women, and the house is well known and great nationally.
It is still hard because I feel like I would have been much closer to the pledge class in Pink than I am with mine in Blue. I know that everything happens for a reason though, and I know that Blue will be a great experience if I put effort into it. I plan to move in the house my junior year, and I would love to hold an exec position. I also want to make more of an effort to hang out with my sisters outside of Blue meetings and events.
Im proud to call myself a Blue, but sometimes it is just a little bittersweet!
