When I went through recruitment, I fell in love with XYZ from the very first round. It was my top choice all week, and when I got invited to pref night, I was sure that this was the chapter for me. I attended three parties on pref night, and I preffed XYZ first. When bid day came, I didn't receive a bid from my first choice. I was really upset...I couldn't understand what had happened. Everything had gone so well!
I did receive a bid from my second pick, a chapter that had slowly been creeping up during recruitment week. I decided that everything happens for a reason, and embraced my new chapter. It was really the best thing that has ever happened to me. My chapter gave me so much....wonderful sisters, leadership opportunities, amazing traditions and lifelong friendships.
I was a recruitment counselor my junior year, and the head recruitment counselor my senior year, and I was asked both times to tell my story to the prospective members. I stood up in front of the 800+ pm's right before the recruitment counselors handed out the pref invitations. I have had dozens of girls tell me that my story really helped them when they were put in the same situation. I guess everything really does happen for a reason. I ended up a member of an amazing sorority, and I was able to help others through my story.
Sorry to be so long!
