So tonight was skit night, and the one sorority I had on my plate was scheduled for six. So I dressed myself all nice and neat, and went out. Some girls there seems rather sour about being there, as if they wished to be elsewhere, but one of the Rho Chis said I was absolutely beaming to be there. I think I look a bit like this:
So the president walked out and said hello, welcome, and girls walked out in pretty dresses of XYZ's color, calling out people by name and walking them in. I was surprised to notice that a lot of names were called and a great deal of htem had no person to answer them! They just didn't show up! Time goes by...my name isn't called, and I start to panic inside. Finally they come out and say the list of girls who was to be there at that time had been cut short and they were missing a lot of names, so they invited us in, took our names, and sat down.
I sat with a wonderful sister who really made me feel at home, and I got along with her great. They did a skit (can't describe it, though, for the sake of discretion) and it was so funny, I loved it. Then they showed a slide show, which only deepened my resolve that this is my sorority. This is the sisterhood I would feel at home with. The girl with me told me a lot, answered my remaining questions, and joked with me a bit. And it seems like just as it all started, it was time to go. I left more determine than ever and with highest hopes.
Pref night is tommorow. The suspense is KILLING me!! Thank you all so much for all these kind words. It's helped keep my chin up!
