Bumping so we can get new stories from this year! I love bid day stories!
I did COR at Kappa and JUST Kappa... I had decided that would be the only place I'd be really happy. (I wouldn't encourage that mindset, but hey, I was young and stupid!) I went to about 5 events at the house, had a TON of fun, met so many great girls, and was really hopeful, but because there were so many great PNMs and only a handful of spots, I didn't really think I had a shot. It was super competitive that year. I remember them telling us they'd let us know by Wednesday... I was a TRAINWRECK all day, shaking and on the verge of tears. I came home after work and just cried my eyes out because the day had come and gone and I figured the worst. I remember it was absolutely pouring rain that day and I thought it was appropriate. I got an email the next day asking me to watch my phone and all I could think was, "well, crap... I don't want to hear the 'thanks but sorry' talk..." When I actually DID get the call, it was the rush chairman offering me a bid and I was totally shocked! I was on a freakin' bus at the time and could hardly hear her over the noise, but I definitely teared up. A lot. I pledged that night and the rest is history!
