A Lucky Charms Recruitment Story

[~sunflower~]

Hey Everyone!
Well, I thought that since you guys had all been so helpful with me trying to decide to rush, I thought I would share my recruitment story with you! I am going to be posting these a few days delayed though so you won’t be able to figure out what school I am going to.

For a link to my previous post:http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...d.php?t=119660

There are seven sororities at my school. Six are National, while one is local. Since everyone else had creative code names I decided to use the marshmallow shapes from Lucky Charms They are:
HEARTS
STARS
RAINBOWS
CLOVERS
BLUE MOONS
GOLDEN TREASURE
RED BALLOONS

And these names have no connection to their symbols or colors or anything, and if they do, it was completely random and by mistake

Here is a brief description of what happened last year though: I decided as a sophomore that I really wanted to go through recruitment and signed up and was really excited for the process. After the Open Parties I was invited back to :
STARS
CLOVERS
BLUE MOONS
RED BALLOONS

My absolute favorite was STARS and I also really liked RED BALLOONS. The other two were not my favorite and I had ranked them at the bottom of my list. For Prefs I was invited back to

RED BALOONS
CLOVERS

I was disappointed to have lost STARS, but was really excited about RED BALLOONS. Our Rho Chi had pretty much assured us that if we were invited to Prefs that meant that they really wanted us, and in pretty much 98% of the time you get a bid from the one you rank #1. Well, I ranked RED BALLOOONS as #1 feeling very confident that I would be soon joining them the next day. I was completely shocked the next day to see that I had received a bid to CLOVERS. I was pretty upset, but ended up signing the bid. A few days later I ended up telling them that I was unable to join.

I was very disappointed in both having received a bid from them, but also for the fact that I hadn’t even given them a change and regretted my decision to quit a lot. I kind of wish now that I hadn’t, but I can’t think about regret, so here I am trying again. I honestly have no idea how the process will go, but I am determined to give it my best shot and see what happens.
