[CarolinaDG]

I was rushing as a sophomore, and I really wanted this sorority that historically didn't take sophomores, so I talked to EVERYONE that I knew to try to have them talk me up. Well, I was talking to this Sigma Nu, and saying, "Yeah, I really love (blah blah-blah) sorority and the girls are really smart and cool, but I know they don't take sophomores." He said to me that yeah, they didn't unless a girl's legacy, but then he suggested Delta Gamma to me. He said that he thought I'd really like the girls, and that they were getting a really good reputation on campus, and that the sorority was quickly improving. Well, I practically laughed in his face. My only impression from DG's was when they started screaming and squealing at Homecoming because they started playing an N' Sync song. I mean, PLEASE! Why would I be part of a sorority who's colors were PINK and BLUE (girly colors) and who squealed because an N 'Sync song started playing. I had only met one DG, she had lived on my hall, and I liked her, pretty much, but my impression of her was that she was sort of "little girl" as well (PS, Jen, I love ya now!). Well, the first day I walked into the room of the sorority that I had my heart set on, and this tall, amazon-looking girl with no personality greeted me. All of the sudden, I felt relieved. I didn't want THIS sorority, so I said straight out, "You don't take sophomores, do you?" She kind of fumbled for a response, replied something about not worrying about that, and I got cut first round. What's funny is that a friend of mine who had LOVED DG and had her heart set on DG got cut first round, but invited back to the sorority that I had my heart set on. Anyway, the point of the story... A couple of rounds later, I went into the DG room, and knew I was home. It was kind of a depressing feeling at first, because I was SO sure I wasn't going to be DG, but third round solidified that this was the place that I was supposed to be... SKIT DAY!!! There were two girls, Jackie and Ann-Margaret, who did the main roles, and I was laughing so hard I was CRYING!!! Then, the next night, pref night, I left with tears streaming down my face. I knew that's where I was supposed to be... and I begged Jennifer (the girl that I didn't like that much, who preffed me) to let me keep the cream rose. She said that if I went DG I'd get it back... I think I still have the rose, somewhere. :-)
