As many of you may already know, AGD is the only NPC on my campus. I had pledged into a local sorority on my campus before I joined AGD, and I was treated horribly. Don't get me wrong, I have the biggest respect for locals, and I know that all locals aren't like the ones on my campus, but it was a really traumatizing experience for me and I couldn't believe I let myself even be associated with an organization like that [even if it was for just a short while].

One night, after a pledge meeting with the local, I found myself sitting on the stairs at the Campus Center just crying by myself. It had been a horrible night and I had made my decision to quit the local. I just couldn't take it anymore. Coincidentally, AGD was having their meeting down the hall and some sisters saw meon the stairs on their way to the bathroom. I was already familiar with AGD because one of my friends [who incidentally became my sister-mom] was already in it. Anyway, these girls made it a point to help me to the bathroom to clean me up and they even sat with me till I was okay again. I thought to myself, "hey...if these girls are any indication of how the rest of AGD is like...what the hell am I doing wasting my time with the people who treat me like crap?"

Of course I was scared to give Greek Life another shot. I knew these girls were really nice, but I didn't know for sure if they did the same things to their members.

I was invited to a waterpark outing that November and I was convinced that these girls were honest, down to earth, I found out that I shared a lot of things in common with them.

I kept in contact with my friend and she made sure that I went to the following semester's rush parties [since it was still called 'RUSH' back then ]. The semester I pledged was simply amazing.

So began my life as an AGD.
