I posted this a long time ago.......but here it goes again
In the LBC, we have:
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Delta Delta Delta
Gamma Phi Beta
Sigma Kappa
I rushed my sophomore year at Cal State Long Beach, and I knew that rush was going to be a tough time for me. I was/am a double in-house legacy to Alpha Phi and Tri-Delta. In addition to that, my best friend who had rushed the year before me was a Delta Gamma.
On preview night in the student union, it was absolutely insane. But I distinctly remember making a connection with women among all of the commotion at three different houses, Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, and Sigma Kappa.
One day one, we went to all of the houses and again I felt a connection with Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, and Sigma Kappa. This time at Gamma Phi Beta, too, but I still felt that I didn't quite fit in with the image that they were portraying. Needless to say, narrowing down the seven to four that night was really easy.
On day two, I went back to Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, Sigma Kappa, and Gamma Phi Beta. I didn't feel the same connection at Alpha Phi and Gamma Phi Beta as I did at Sigma Kappa and Delta Gamma, so it was again relatively easy for me to cut houses that night.
Pref was absolute hell for me. I went to Delta Gamma first, and my best friend in the whole world preffed me, and she told me that either way she would still be my best friend (and still is to this day).
This girl that I absolutely adored at Sigma Kappa (Michelle) preffed me, and it seemed like we had known each other forever, and she told me something that stuck with me, she said "Tonight will be full of decisions for you, but no matter what you choose, make sure you go where your heart tells you to"
I was the absolute last one to fill out my bid card, and just sat there, paralyzed. I couldn't decide. But, what Michelle said had really stuck with me, and I chose Sigma Kappa, and haven't regretted it a day since.
As for my best friend, she's still my best friend. Michelle became my guardian angel sis.
