I too joined as a freshman when I was attending University of Arizona. I always knew I wanted to rush a sorority when I went to college. Blame it on tv or whatnot, but I knew.
Anyways, U of A had an informal meeting at the MU with all the chapters present who would be participating in spring rush.
I should mention Spring Rush is much more laid back. Which I think it's like that at most schools. You go to the house you want and you can leave when you want.
I should also mention that my friend from high school is a Chi-O, so I actually wanted to rush them because of her. But on the way to the meeting I ran into some girls and sat with them. One them, Michelle I think her name was, went through fall rush but had to drop out because she got sick and she had made it to the third round with ADPi, so I agreed to go to the house with her.
I spent the entire time at the house. I just loved talking to all the girls, I didn't even realize that I had spent 2+ hours with them.
I felt so horrible though the next day because Elise, the president, invited me back. I ran into Michelle the next day and she wasn't invited back. I felt horrible because she really wanted to be an ADPi, at the time, I really didn't care. I just liked them, I liked talking to them.
So that night I recieved my bid. I remember I was talking to like 5 or 6 girls and Elise came over and said that she needed to talk to me and tell me somthing, not even assuming that it could be something bad, I told her she could just tell me in front of the sisters. Looking back, they were all smiling cause they knew what was coming. Elise said okay and told me that the girls wanted to offer me a bid and she told me I could think about it. I replied I don't need to think about it, I want to accept it. Suddenly I was being hugged by her and the entire group of girls I was talking too.
It was really the little things that made me want to be with them. They were a great much of girls. So different then one another, different views, different opinions. What I really loved about them, this is so lame too, I wear contacts and the night I got my bid, they were going dry on me. One of the sisters actually went around the house looking for contact solution for me. It was actually my diamond who did that for me. I know you're probably thinking 'how sweet' and it was and that's what made me want to be there.
I have never regretted joining ADPi, I have made have the best friends. Plus, I love meeting sisters from other schools and other states.
Sorry my post is so long.
