Hey everyone! So to finish up my story, I talked a lot with the friend who helped me decide to continue with Round 3. I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I didn't want to make the wrong decision and then wonder what might have been if I had done it differently. I wasn't sure how I would know if Flamingo was me, but my friend told me to go anyway. So I went into pref night almost 90% sure I wouldn't take a bid from Flamingo, but I went anyway.
PREF NIGHT.
I walked into Flamingo not nervous at all. I was almost sure I wouldn't accept a bid. The girl who picked me up at the door was beautiful, sweet, and hilarious. We talked and talked for the entire hour long party and there was not one awkward moment or a time where one of us didn't know what to say. The pref stories brought me to tears, and I'm not even an emotional person (that was the SECOND time I cried during rush LOL). I walked out of the house and walked straight over to the holding room and signed my name on the dotted line without thinking twice. The woman helping out with the voting process told me when I signed my name that it meant I would be accepting a bid from Flamingo, and I had no second thoughts. My Pi Chi even came up to me and asked if I was okay with my decision.
I went back to my room later that night and when I had time to review my day I literally thought to myself OH CRAP. What have I done? Am I really fit for this sorority, or was I just overcome with emotions from pref night, or just wanted to be in a sorority no matter which one?
Anyway...bid day rolled around, and I was so excited. My bid day buddy and I got along incredibly well (she ended up being my big)
And I am so happy and lucky to say that I am a.......
GAMMA PHI BETA!!!!
I can't express how happy I am that I made the decision that I did. The reason that I named my story an "unusual" one is because many girls who don't get asked back to their top houses drop out of recruitment and don't give their bottom choices a chance. Gamma Phi Beta is and will always be the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I would not change a thing if I had to.The moral of my story is that everything truly does happen for a reason. And to give everything a chance, because you never know what will happen. I hope this story will remind future PNM's to not give up when the going gets tough. And in the wise words of one of my beautiful Pi Chi's, "Recruitment sucks, but it works."
My Pi Chi's ended up being Bunny and Zebra, and this makes sense because I loved these two sororities and I was OBSESSED with my Pi Chis.
Thanks everyone!!!
