[AOEforme]

I dropped out of recruitment during my freshman year (it was orientation week) because I realized during it that I was anxious for the end of parties. I would rather go back to the dorms and hang out with the girls there. I thought that it meant that I liked the "idea" of sororities better than the actuality.

I went to COB for ΑΩΕ recruitment because I was still interested in joining a sorority and I found that I never wanted to leave the parties. That's how I knew ΑΩΕ was something I wanted to join.

I knew it was "home" later that year when we had formal. The next morning I went out to breakfast in the freezing cold with my pledge sisters and we were still laughing about things that had gone on the night before. I barely noticed the cold. That's when I knew I had made the right choice.
