I had been really active in organizations in high school and was feeling lost in college. I joined a group called The Ambassador's Society that was an honorary (meaning, you had to be invited and had to have a certain GPA) service organization on campus which focused on recruiting students to campus. My best friend from high school went the same University that I did although he was a year ahead of me. I was dating his roommate. They both became TKEs and a lot of the Ambassador Society people were greek. I definitely wanted to be Greek because I was surrounded by Greeks all the time.
Why AGD? Well, there were only 4 choices at my school at that time. I knew some women in one of the sororities and they were like mother hens to me, which bothered me, so I didn't even consider that group. Another group was large and popular, but none of them spoke to me at first rounds. They apparently had no rotation plan. Yet, even though I dropped their invite at second rounds, they invited me to Prefs, which I thought was weird. The third group was really super small and nobody had really heard of them. And then there were the Alpha Gams. They were warm and friendly and inviting from the start. At that time, they were a group of campus leaders and had the highest GPA and the fraternity guys thought they were "stuck up" because the Alpha Gams wouldn't sleep with them all the time..lol. I knew that's where I wanted to be! In the end, it was definitely the best option. Recruitment was different at my campus back then. After going to only two of the four first rounds, and only one second round and one preference, I did the ISP thing. It's the only place I wanted to be.
Alpha Gamma Delta has been such a huge part of who I am for 21 years now. I can't imagine having made any other decision.
