Thank You
Thank you all for your interest in Dark Side mom's story (oh, and Debbie's). Thank you for your encouragement and understanding. Tried to explain to my non-Greek friend with younger kids and she thought I was crazy. Thank you for the writing compliments - I give all the credit in the world to fantastic English teachers in high school and college.
Debbie is like a bungee dive. She had that initial drop that freaked her out but she's stopped falling, she's slowly swinging, enjoying the sights, and realizing "hey, that wasn't so bad". Debbie's been shopping with some of her AOII girls. She's also been hanging out with some of the PNMs she went through recruitment with. Now that everybody made it through, they're all sharing more of their details and lo and behold, recruitment was a roller coaster for everybody.
I was telling Debbie about a girl who SIP'd because she lost her early favorite. Debbie said, "You spend less than a half a day with any of the houses during recruitment. How can you really know them or anybody else?" I'm too busy picking myself up from the floor to respond. Debbie says, "Got to go, mom, love you." 5 minutes later a text comes through "don't worry about me, I'm happy". Sometimes these kids....
