When I first knew I was going to Akron, I knew that I would be going through recruitment eventually. At the time, I had been dating a guy that was a TKE there and he had told me that I would fit well into DG or AGD. I took that to heart but also knew that I had to make my own decisions. I ended up not even registering for recruitment until the night of orientation or what we call Sorority Forum (which I don't even remember now if it was called that at that time). I think I finally made up my mind about it because of DGs that I knew and that had gotten to know me during welcome week activities.
Anyways....after the second round of recruitment, we had to drop two houses (which ended up being AGD and KKG since I was invited back to every house).
I got my pref invites and was invited back to my top three (DG, ADPi, and APhi) but had to choose two. It was a tough decision because I loved DG, and liked ADPi and APhi, but I chose to drop APhi.
On the day of Preference, I dropped out before the parties began because of an arguement I had with my mom that morning. (She wasn't too thrilled that I wanted to join a sorority). So I called my Rho Chi and told her that I wasn't coming. Well, instead of my mom letting me be the stubborn person that I am and staying home, she pushed me out the door and told me to go. So, 45 minutes after I called my Rho Chi and 15 minutes before the parties began, I arrived on campus and jumped back into recruitment (the Rho Chi's had to go to DG and ADPi and tell them that I would be there cause they already told them that I wouldn't be).
So anyways....to finally get to the point of my story. I liked ADPi, but I didn't feel comfortable enough to put them as a second choice. I ended up suiciding DG and getting a bid from them later that day. I have never regretted it and am so proud that I am a DG.
*I guess my ex from way back then was right, huh?*
