I attened an informal rush, so we didn't know when the sisters decided who to pass out bids to. Me and Eileen (a sister of mine, but she wasn't a sister at the time) had just gotten back from a rush party. We headed back to her room because she lived on a smoking wing and I didn't (I smoked at the time) we had no idea the sisters were going to hand out bids that night--we had JUST come from a party, we figured it would be at least a week before we'd know even the smallest detail. So we are sitting around talking about how 'cool' and 'great' it would be to get a bid. My roommate walks down the hall and into the room and says that someone called and said that they wanted me to come outside (our dorms were locked all the time, only people who lived there had keys). So I went downstairs. There were all the sisters holding a bid card and a TON of balloons.After my initial shock was over, they called Eileen. They didn't want to tell us at the same time because if they called up at the same time for us to come down, we might figure out what was going on. It was so cool. That is my Delta Zeta experience. My Sigma Alpha Iota experience, the sister called me down, I knew it was them because the door was under my window so I could see everyone outside. I went down and they sang to me and offered me the bid. It was so cool too. I was so excited. Anyway. . . that was long.
