Hey everyone!
So it was finally Bid Day. I was so nervous that I woke up at like 8am and couldn't go back to sleep, which left me with tons of time to try to distract myself from the nervousness. I tried hard to convince myself that there was an equal likelihood of getting asked back to Pete or Jack and it was difficult since I felt a strong connection to the girls at Jack and didn't really feel swayed in either direction at Pete.
I went to meet my Rho Chi, and one by one she called out our names to open our bid cards. My heart was POUNDING. It was pretty freaky. I went to receive my bid card, and I received a bid from....
Pete! Needless to say, I was a teeny tiny bit disappointed that I didn't get Jack. But I had read a lot of the threads on GC, and even though Pete was my second choice, I decided to try it out. It took time for me to warm up to Pete, but things like pledge retreat and initiation really made me feel proud to be a Pete, and I'm happy with my new sisters and I'm almost glad that I didn't get a bid to Toofer when I rushed as a sophomore because I'm so much happier here at Pete. I sometimes wonder about what life would have been like as a Jack, but I know that if I had gotten a bid at Jack I wouldn't have gotten to know the girls that are my sisters here at Pete.
Oh, and Pete is....
Delta Delta Delta.
