AMAZING day today!!! I was ecstatic to find out that I received invitations back fromDr. Pepper and Cherry Coke, the sororities I ranked numbers 1 and 2!
I knew from the moment I walked into Dr. Pepper that I wanted to be a sister. The girls are just like me! They were the very first house I visited on Day 1 and had been my favorite choice ever since.
Cherry Coke was a little bit different. I really liked them, but it was their philanthropy that put them in second place rather than third. I would have been fine with getting my third choice, but I was really happy to see them on my list this morning.
I visited Cherry Coke first. The second I walked in, I wanted to cry. Everything was so beautiful--the decor, the girls, their song...I was so honored to be there with them. I sat and talked with three different sisters, and felt like I was one of them. The speeches were so meaningful, and I knew that this was where I was supposed to be. People had always told me that you'll just know...and I thought I did know--that is until I walked into the room and spent an hour with the girls I will hopefully be able to call my sisters.
Dr. Pepper was next. Last night, I was so excited to go back. I thought Dr. Pepper was the house for me. This time around, it wasn't the same. They greeted me with so much love and affection, but my mind had already been made up. I didn't get the same feeling of sisterhood as I did at Cherry Coke. Their ceremony was beautiful. The sister I was paired up with told me how much she loved me and how happy she was that her and I were able to spend more time together today. Out of all the girls in each sorority I'd been to, we had had the strongest connection. Leaving absolutely broke my heart. Before we left we were told to make a wish, and she said to me, 'i hope your wish comes true, and I hope it's the same wish that I have for you.' I could have cried I felt so awful! But I just knew it wasn't the place for me.
My final ranking swapped and is now:
1. Cherry Coke
2. Dr. Pepper
Bid day is TOMORROW! I know I'll be happy with whichever sorority I get a bid to, but I'm really hoping that it'll be from my top choice. CAN'T WAIT! (:
*Reminder to girls going through rush-seriously, keep an open mind. My 2nd/3rd choice ended up being my favorite, and my roommate's original 7th choice is now the one she's hoping to get a bid from. Anything can happen!
