Bid Day!
I had asked my Rho Chi about a million times what would happen if I did not get a bid. I had imagined standing there with a bid card and finding it empty having to retreat while everyone else screamed with joy. THANKFULLY, she told me that she would call if I didn’t receive one. I didn’t receive the call.
I showed up and we waited and waited… Finally we went outside to find all of the groups with their letters cheering their little hearts out. The Rho Chi’s did their little reveal tricking us about a million times. It was so funny to see everyone’s reaction to whose ours was since I knew their guessing was all wrong (as it usually is!). Next, they handed us our envelopes that we had to keep behind our back. After a long anticipated pause we were allowed to open them! I ripped mine open very scared of what I would find. I turned and gave my Rho Chi a big hug and ran/jogged (even though I said I wouldn’t) over to:
Glue!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otherwise known as:
CHI OMEGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to do a little follow up on this a year later! It turns out I was “the girl who I talked about Harry Potter with on the first day for only fifteen minutes’” rush crush. She is now my amazing big sis!! Who would have thought that a conversation like this would have helped me to get in to a sorority! I ended up really liking many of the older girls in my chapter as they do so much for our school and our community. The members of my pledge class seem/are very different from me, and thus I haven’t gotten to know them very well. But I move into the house in a few weeks and can’t wait to see how things go. I found this amazing quote from Greek (the tv show and one of my favorites). Cappie says to Rusty who feels out of the loop with his pledge brothers that “the beautiful thing about brotherhood is that it makes you bond with different people outside of your comfort zone”. I hope to see this come true and cannot wait to start my next year and start recruitment as a proud Chi Omega!
