Well...mine is kinda a long story, so bear with me.
When I came to college I decided not to go through Rush due to lack of money and time because of my hectic major (Music Education, emphasis in Saxophone). I really wanted to be Greek though. The first day of marching band(which was my first day at college), I saw all the Tau Beta Sigmas with their letters on and doing their chant and I thought, I want to be part of this! I mean, I had no idea music Greeks existed, and I thought, wow, could it be any more perfect??!
However....
I never clicked with anyone who was in TBS at the time. They are, and always have been, SUPER nice, SUPER spirited guys and girls(they're coed here)..but I just didn't click with them. Besides, at the time, I was very shy and felt intimidated by them. So, I decided not to rush Tau Beta Sigma. I was totally depressed, because I REALLY wanted to be Greek.
Then, a local music GLO we had at the time, Phi Theta Sigma(who are now inactive) gave me a bid in the spring. I was once again excited by the idea of being Greek, but I just didn't click with them either.
Then, a friend told me how she was rushing Sigma Alpha Iota. I had heard of them, but I thought they were only for girls in choir because everyone in the chapter at the time was in choir, or had been, or was in choir as well as band. I commented how I wished I could rush to a member who thankfully informed me that I was very much eligible to rush because SAI is a MUSIC GLO, not a choir one. So, I rushed...and pledged..and never felt so at home with a group of girls in my life. It makes me glad I didn't just accept a bid from the other two groups; not that they're bad groups. They're wonderful. But, I didn't click with them. SAI became instant family.
