I walked up to the little office where I was supposed to meet my PX. We chatted for a minute, and them she told me to close my eyes….
Something was laid in my lap, and she said, “Open!”
There, in my lap, was
A BANDITS SHIRT!!!!
My hands were shaking so hard as I tore open a little card, which was my
PHI MU bid!
I was so excited! I ran back to the dorm, and the first person I ran into was my across the hall neighbor (whom I hardly knew) and she had on a Phi Mu jersey, too. “Hey, I’m a Phi Mu, too!!!” I said. (interestingly…that stranger is now my bestest friend, roommate for 3 years of college, and was my maid of honor!!)
One hour later (just enough time to get really BIG hair, and put on my new jersey) we met at the amphitheater, where I learned my PX was a Barkeep, and then ran to our houses on Sorority Row.
Great memories!
My four years went by so quickly. It really was the time of my life. My mom got to come down for initiation, which was amazing. It’s funny…even after all the questioning during rush, and worry that Phi Mu was way too cool for me, I loved it so much. Yes, my friends are all WAY prettier than me (hee, hee)…but our whole chapter was full of diverse girls that were all brought together by an outstanding passion for life. Its funny, from one sister who was passionate about her artwork, to another who was passionate about Pom Squad, to one who was passionate about academics….all these strong personalities were able to unite very well and become PASSIONATE about our chapter. I think I saw an inkling of that during rush, but really was able to put my finger on it later on….
Ahhh, memories!
