So i am not an alum, yet...(i have one more year to go)...but i wanted to share my story. My school only has 2 sororities...so it's either, choose one, the other, or none. The entire week was a blur, I made great friends with all the girls that i rushed with (it was still RUSH when i went through it). I knew a lot of them were going to put the other sorority first...and i didn't want to loose them as friends (silly me, i thought you loose the friends who pledge the other sorority). so i put the other one first. i went back to my dorm, sat down in the common area and my friends came in. they saw the look on my face, said i looked like my dog just died...i told them what i did, and i started crying. i knew i had made a mistake. so i ran back to the bid-matching room, banged on the door and told the panhellenic council that i NEEDED to switch my bid-card. i cried and cried, and they finally let me. i woke up the next day and left my room so my PX could drop my bid-card off. I sat at a table eating breakfast w/ a girl who would soon be my pledge sister. I ran back and grabbed my bid card off the floor. The moment I saw the purple pen, I knew I was in...I ran to the front of this georgous building on my campus to where all my new sisters were cheering...my soon to be big sister ran out of the crowd and gave me the biggest hug (she was also the rush director). We got inducted, got to know the girls, etc...and when i went back to my room it was decorated with balloons and a sign welcoming me to the sisterhood. I am now the recruitment director for my chapter and love bid day most of all when i get to be the one welcoming in new sisters! P.S. I am still great friends with the girls who i went through rush with.
