Okay, so I know many of you Greek-savvy ladies are thinking, "What? IU's recruitment isn't until December and January?" Well, have no fear, you are still absolutely correct. I've decided to start my recruitment thread now so that you can experience the long months of waiting with me! I know, I'm sooooo nice!
So why today? Well, I am officially registered for recruitment! YAY!!! (*big cheesy grin*) I have the two emails in my inbox from this morning, and I get so excited every time I check my email!
I'm a little nervous, too...actually, more than a little. I'm a sophomore and I'm worried that that will affect my chances of getting a bid, especially considering the percentage of girls that don't receive bids here at IU. I did go to a lot of "Go Greek" meetings last year, so I'm not totally clueless.
I don't know when we get to meet our rho gammas, but I can't wait to meet her! I just know she's going to be so nice and helpful. I have some questions for her. Like, how soon do we find out after 19 party that we did(n't) get a bid? I have some pricey plane tickets to purchase for the winter holidays, so I'm hoping we find out soon after 19 party and not after New Years. I couldn't wait that long! And then I'd have to try and change my tickets to come back from break early. hmmm...
So it's the 26th of October, meaning that I have a little over a month to get some work done. I'm hoping to get a few letters of recommendation and house visits under my belt before December 2nd.
What else can I say? I hope that during recruitment I will meet a ton of wonderful ladies and form some friendships, and I hope that I have fun. But most of all, I hope that I will find a house that is just right for me and that they feel the same way about me! Even though I'm nervous, I keep reminding myself that the nervousness only makes the whole process that much more exciting and potentially rewarding!
I'm so thankful that GC is available to me, and that I can write about and sort through my thougths and feelings. I don't have any friends that want to hear about my recruitment questions, experiences, hopes, and fears. But I know that I count on many of you ladies for encouragment and support during these next few months. And that makes it so much better! Thank you all for letting me share my story...more to come soon!
Much love,
