First, let me say that in the brief time I've been an Alpha Phi, I don't think I've been this happy since the day I was initiated.
Quota at UBC was 15 this year. We've been doing really well all week long, but emotions and nerves were still running high. We cross-rushed heavily with another group on campus, but even so, we were confident that this would be a banner year for the UBC Alpha Phis.
I just got back from Bids Day, and I'm proud to say that the UBC Alpha Phis welcomed...
wait for it.......
are you sitting down? you NEED to sit down....
ELEVEN BABY PHIS into Beta Theta chapter!! Everyone we welcomed back had us as their first choice, and the new members are all SUPER excited to be Alpha Phis!
I'm on such a high right now - I cried twice at Pref, and I cried when the NMs came into the chapter room. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who sent us well wishes and happy vibes - as Chapter Advisor, I'm so proud of the UBC Alpha Phis, and I'm especially thankful to our VPMR, Director of COB, our amazing Recruitment Team, and to Zara, the ELC who visited us during polish week. None of this would have been possible without your help!
Okay, I'm going to stop gushing now.
PS - of the 8 chapters at UBC, 3 made quota and 5 (including us) are eligible for COB.
