hello!!
Hi all! THis is my first entry here and I want to say hi to all the other Alpha Beta girls. So yes, I'm Judi from Alpha Beta at University of Michigan.
Why I Joined AGD...interesting story acutally. I joined fall 2001 as a junior and i was one of the oldest people going thru formal rush. I wasn't planning on rushing but a good friend in another house convinced me to rush and was really rooting for me to join her house. I knew alot of girls in her house and thought that her house was the one for me. I went thru rush thinking that when I had to go to the other houses I just had to entertain myself bc I thought I knew the only house I wantedn. I had convinced myself and told everyone else that it was that house or nothing at all. The next day, we got our invites for 3rd sets and my heart was (temporarily) crushed when I didn't get invited back to that house and I dropped out of rush. At the time, I thought dropping out was the right thing to do but I knew there was soemthing missing in my life. I wanted sisters and a place to call home. I kept thinking about rush and all the "what ifs" such as "what if I had been a freshman going thru rush" and "what if i had been feeling better the night of 2nds so then i wouldn't have been spacing out quite so badly". Oddly enough, when I looked back at the houses, the house that I thought was my top choice wasn't really the one I thought about. What really stuck out in my mind was AGD. Those girls were definetely genuine, REAL girls and they were the ones who I remembered as genuinely wanting me as one of them. About 2 weeks after the original bid day, I heard that AGD was doing COB. I couldn't bear the thought of finishing the rest of college with all the "what ifs" and knowing that I would never have girls to call my sisters so I emailed Webbie (who I knew somehow thru HS), got a reply that same day, and went to COB at Cava Java. I was nervous but at the same time I wasn't. Jessica gave me the bid that very night and I didn't hesitate to accept. Joining AGD was the best thing that has happened to me and ever since then, my heart hasn't ever been empty. How could it? I have sister's who are always with me in my heart.
(ok sorry for the sappiness but I really luv u guys..beware of funny jokes in the fall...heh heh heh...)
