The three most wonderful things happened at Bid Day today....
1. GAMMA CHI GOT QUOTA WITH 20 NEW GIRLS!!!! I'm really excited, because so many of them came back to us from Pref night. They're an incredible group of girls who will bring a lot to the chapter.
2. BOTH MY GIRLS CAME HOME TO PHI MU!!!!! I saw the first running to us, and threw a shirt over her head and hugged her like crazy. I was so happy, I was shaking. Then I turned around and saw the other girl with our bid day shirt on. I ran over and hugged her, too. Then, I was so happy, I cried.
And, last but not least....
3. MY BIG SISTER CAME HOME AGAIN!!!! She did an amazing job as a Gamma Rho Chi. And you know what? Even though they had her pegged as belonging to a different chapter, 7 out of 13 in her group went Phi Mu. How cool is that? (Both my girls, incidentally, were in her group).
We had a great Mardi Gras-themed celebration, and then the ribboning ceremony. My big and I stood side by side again to sing "Picture a Girl" and the benediction. Let me tell you, all the hard work and frustration in getting here has been repaid a thousandfold. I am SO fortunate to belong to Phi Mu! And now I'm getting excited about getting a little this year!
