Recruitment Story (Finally Sharing It)

[M.Pennybags]

When I got back to my dorm my excitement for Thimble hadn’t faded. In fact the more I thought about Thimble to more I wanted to be a Thimble. I realized that in high school I was never one to worry about popularity, I surrounded myself with great people and because of that I had formed true and lasting friendships. I knew Thimble would be a lot like this, so what if their stereotype was the “fat girls”, it was only a stereotype and it wasn’t really true. They seemed like great girls and somewhere I would form great friendships.






The next day was pref night. We would get our party invites in the afternoon and then go to our parties in the evening. For the first time during recruitment I was nervous and worried that I would not get an invite from Thimble. Things had not gone my way the first two days, what would make today different. I met up with my GRC and….


Thimble invited me back to pref!

I was so happy to see Thimble still wanted me back. I knew during pref I needed to let the sisters know that I was interested in being a Thimble.
Go to Jail had been invited back to Boot and Thimble. She told me the Thimbles had been so nice to her the whole week and could see me being a Thimble. However, she really wanted to be a Boot. Go to Jail and I got dressed up in our cocktail dresses. Free parking even curled my hair for me and did my makeup. Go and Free Parking decided they wanted to dress up too, so they got dressed up and went to a fancy steak house together.


Thimble Pref- All the other groups on campus wore black for pref night. Thimble instead wore all different dresses in their color. It made the room so cherry and bright and showed the uniqueness of the chapter. Going to pref at Thimble only reinforced my feelings for this chapter. I talked to one of the sisters and another sister I hadn’t talked to during the week. They told me stories about their experience in Thimble and told me that I would make a great Thimble. I told the sister I had talk to earlier in the week how much I enjoyed being at their parties this week and could tell the girls in the chapter were very genuine. A few sisters got up in front of everyone and told their stories, their words were very touching. Last there was a very nice ceremony and I left the party with good feelings about Thimble. Right after the party I walked to the auditory where I signed my pref card. I hoped that the next day I would be a Thimble.
