I woke up really early on Bid Day, I was so nervous! I must have been one of the first girls to the spot where they were handing out bids. My Ro Chi was there and she told me how happy she was that I had stuck out the process. I agreed with her, I really wanted a bid to Artichokes. After what seemed like days everyone was assembled and they began handing out bid cards. We waited until everyone in my group had their cards and then ripped them open. My Card Read:
ARTICHOKES! (Alpha Delta Pi!)
I was so happy! I ran over to where all my new sisters were gathered and we watched as our Ro Chis revealed themselves. My Ro Chi was a Squash which I had guessed all along.
We ran over to our new house where the actives greeted us with cheering and yelling and finally real food. We spent the day together learning cheers, going swimming, and getting to know each other. I was really happy I stuck it out as there was no doubt in my mind that this was the perfect house for me!
Now almost a year has passed and I'm just so happy that my Ro Chi refused to let me get discouraged and drop out! I love my sisters and am so excited to meet the next back of Artichokes who will be coming soon!
