My experience was much like adpiucf's except it happened 2 years later.
Even funnier that she was a PX in my Recruitment Counselor Traveling Group so she was there when I got my bid card.
I remember sitting in the back of the room with the girls in my PX group and we were all talking about how nervous we were. Our PX called us up one by one to the front of the room. We opened our bid cards in front of everyone. I really wanted my #1 choice and would have been happy with #2. I was really scared that I was going to get a sorority that I hadn't even put on my bid card and I'd have to just put a fake smile on my face so that my PX group wouldn't see me burst into tears.
I opened my bid card and it said "The Eta Kappa Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha cordially invites you to pledge". I was so excited! I started jumping up and down and gave my PX a huge hug!
