Post Bid Day - My thoughts afterwards
I do regret not fulling embracing Pine right after I pledged.
When pledge retreat rolled around, I was again overwhelmed. At least half of my pledge class was cheerleaders, drill team and homecoming queens. I was math team, quiz bowl and theatre. I felt like I did not fit in and that I was a fraud. That I had acted my way into Pine.
But these girls in my pledge class were SO SWEET. And the actives were so kind and supportive. Overtime I realized that Pine supported differences. And I bet Cedar did not have any math team/quiz bowl pledges either.
It's not about finding someone like you - It is about being part of a group that will support you.
Slowly I embraced Pine though I still was involved in all my other campus activities and did not hold a sorority office until my senior year. By that time the house was built and I lived in it. My senior year made me wish I had jumped in full steam ahead my Freshman year.
I have lived in different cities over the years and have always been a member, while not always super active, of my alumnae association. It really is a life long membership. I have a daughter going through rush this fall and I hope she finds a sisterhood where she can thrive.
Oh and I forgot to mention Pine is
