I don't know if anything I say is going to be as pithy as the wonderful advice you've already gotten. I will add that the bid matching system is more complex than you realize, and could have played a MAJOR role in why you're now an XYZ.

That said, a good friend once said to me, "If you go somewhere, and you're not having a good time, you have nobody to blame but yourself." Great advice for a party, great advice for life!

The change in XYZ starts with YOU! Your demeanor can start a tidal wave of excitement, and might be the beginning of the crowning achievement of XYZ! Once you decide - you, and you alone! - that you're pretty darn proud of sorority and everything it stands for, your enthusiasm will become contagious!

Good luck, and know that you DO have it inside you to be the best!!
