Yes I did.
I was completely cluess when I went through rush. I basically decided to give it a shot because my sister's college boyfriend (at a different school) had been Greek, and he'd always spoken well of it, I thought it might be worth a try. I had no idea about anything.
During summer orientation, it seemed every where I went, another girl (who was also going thru orientation) was there. We randomly ended up sitting next to each other during a general orientation session, then went we broke into majors, we had the same one. I went to the meeting about recruitment and to tour a house, and there she was again. (I realize this doesn't tie in right now but it'll make sense)
A lot of the first day (fifteen parties) was such a blur, I remember starting out a Chi O's but that's about it, but I still remember going to Theta, I can even remember the songs that they sang on the way in and out. The first girl I meant I immediately clicked with, she actually became one of my twinstars on bid day.
The second day I remember getting back to the house and just feeling a complete sense of relief and just a genuine sense of happness, and it pretty much reinforced my feeling of wanting to be there.
The third day, I meant a sister who later on became my pledge mom, she was awesome and I just hoped that they'd invite me back for pref.
Pref night came and I went to Theta and XYZ. I went to XYZ first, the girls there were nice, but it just didn't feel right. Then I went to Theta and everything just seemed to click into place and I knew it's where I wanted to be.
Bid day came and I got my first choice, and when we got back to the chapter house and I was meeting all the other new members, there was the girl from orientation. She was a double Theta legacy, and she became one of my best friends. We always thought it was funny that we met at Orientation.
