Dumb question. If you felt that comfortable at the colony and that UNcomfortable at the group you signed a bid for, why didn't you wait for the colony to contact you? Are you saying the group you're in now just said "meet us at so and so" and when you got there, it was a bid signing/pledging ceremony???
This is one of those times when I'm glad I'm a girl and we do everything in rush like the happy well-organized Communists we are.
