Alright, I'm going to go ahead and finish this story up if you don't mind
I will reveal which sorority was which as far as my code goes, as well!
So, the morning of Bid Day came, and to say that I was nervous was the understatement of the year. I checked my phone to see if I had gotten the dreaded phone call from my gamma chi literally every five minutes, and when noon passed, I figured that I was in the clear (and had succeeded in making all of my professors angry as well). So, I went about my day trying not to think about which bid I was going to get, or if there was some sort of mistake and I would be opening an envelope containing nothing in it.
Finally, I made it to our gymnasium, where the bids were to be handed out. They didn't let us inside automatically, and it was really difficult to talk to the other girls, just because we were all nervous and sort of short with each other. However, they let us inside the gym about fifteen minutes later, and we had to sit through presentations from various members of our Panhellenic Council and find out what which sororities our gamma chis belonged to. My gamma chi belonged to
Black Tied, which I had actually guessed from the very first day that we met!
Finally, after what seemed to be a hundred years, we finally got our bid cards and were told not to open them. After a couple more minutes, on the count of three, we were told to open our bids. My hands were shaking as I carefully opened the envelope, not wanting to rip anything up. As I pulled the card out of the envelope, I looked down and saw the crest of...
Carbon!
The one sorority that I never thought I would get a bid to actually gave me a bid. All I remember after that moment was that the girl sitting next to me, Katie, had also gotten her bid to Carbon, and we were both overjoyed, crying and hugging each other. In a blur, we both met up with the gamma chis from our new home, and headed off toward our bid day party.
That was a year ago, and I am now an initiated member of my sorority, and I could not be any more thrilled with my choice. During this past year, I have made so many friends, had so many fun nights, and even won my university's Greek Sing with my sisters. I would not trade any of this for the world
So, many of you are probably wondering what the actual name of this mythical Carbon actually is, and I am a proud member of...
Delta Delta Delta!
And, I have decided not to reveal which house was which, due to the fact that some people will undoubtedly know where I go to school.
And, the house that had stuck with me through recruitment was...
Digit=Alpha Sigma Alpha
I have no hard feelings against any of these houses, and I do have some friends in these houses as well, so please don't think that I hate any of these houses based on what happened during my rush, because I don't Rush was definitely a learning experience, and I was just happy to make it through and accomplish my goal of finding my home.
