delta gamma was colonizing at nc state and i got interested a little too late to become a founding sister. but in one of my very boring classes was the most influential person for me in regards to greek life and delta gamma. i didn't know her, but i overheard her talking to a guy she sat beside about her dg experience. eventually i inquired about it and she was very encouraging. i went through their first "formal rush" which was really in the spring and i got to pref night and didn't get a bid. i was absolutely crushed. she was very upset as well and couldn't believe i didn't get a bid. a few weeks later she told me that there would be a COB event coming up soon and that i should go to it. i told her, why would they want me now if they didn't want me then. she told me, don't worry about it, just go and you'll be fine. she said DG just needed to get another look at me. so as painful as it was, i swallowed my pride and pushed myself to go. and now i'm so happy i did because now i am part of a wonderful organization! when i asked all of the girls what they thought when i came back to the COB event, they all said they really admired me for it and that it was very impressive. so, thanks so much meredith turnbull!
