Missing Bid Night?
My boyfriend goes to USMMA, the United States Merchant Marines Academy, and he has a ring ceremony coming up in a few months that he wants me to attend with him. Its a major thing for them, it being the mark of the beginning of the senior year as well as being a way for us to see each other (hes in NY, i'm in the midwest) which is really rare and would be amazing to do.
The problem?
That weekend is also formal recruitment, with me missing the preference tea as well as bid night!
My parents, while iffy due to possibly missing classes the first week of school, will only allow me to attend if I get a written and signed letter from my sisters saying its okay for me to miss then I would be able to go, but I'm nervous on asking.
(I've only been in the sorority for almost a year, having been a junior transfer student, and I'm nervous about missing something as big as recruitment. I've never missed an event before either.)
What should I do?
