okay--i just started pledging about three weeks ago but that day is always going to stand out in my mind. pref day was in the morning and they were extending bids at 8 o'clock that evening. i was excited about pref day because i liked all three of the sororities i was pledging but i had my heart set on tri-sigma and was really nervous about getting my bid. so i'm already a bundle of nerves, and then my boyfriend of a year and a half decides to break up with me and so now i'm a crying, heartbroken bundle of nerves. my rho-chi called to tell me that i had gotten a bid and to meet in the student center where we'd all find out where we got our bids from. i met up with all the girls in my rho chi group and they handed us our envelopes and i opened mine with another girl who wanted tri-sig and we had both gotten in. we all ran around excited, meeting the people who were now our pledge sisters and taking pictures and stuff. then we went into the auditorium and all the girls from all the sororities were there and the rho-chi's were all onstage and they took off their panhellenic shirts and had their sorority's bid day shirt underneath. then we ran across the stage and they put our sorority's bid-day t-shirt on us and then we all ran back in the pouring rain to the house.
