In my sophomore year of college I met a girl who was already in AGD. Despite several attempts to get me to go to some of the AGD events, I decided to pledge a local sorority.
Boy, that was the worst decision I made. I was subjected to forms of hazing, and one night, after a pledge meeting, I broke down and cried at our campus commons.
Lo and behold, the AGD chapter meeting had just adjourned, and 6 AGD sisters immediately came to my aid and wanted to know if there was anything they could do to help. I was at my lowest of lows, I felt like crap because these local sorority girls disrespected me. But the AGDs took me under their wing and made sure that I made it back to my dorm okay.
After that night, I called my friend and I told her what had happened. I was ashamed that I turned down AGD for this local sorority and I apologized to her (she was Recruitment chair at that time). I didn't want anything to do with the Greek system anymore, but eventually I got to know those AGD angels better, and I decided to give it another try at their next formal recruitment.
I share that experience about my AGD angels at every Preference and Presents ceremony because I want the new girls to realize how special it is to me to have my sisters in my life.
