Dealing with a second choice

[kateee]

My college is very small, and there are only four sororities on campus. Going through formal recruitment, I found myself clicking with two very different organizations. One organization was very popular, pretty, great at recruitment. they had a more 'popular' reputation. They all seemed to like me, and I knew a few of them. My friend and I both wanted to get a bid from them. The other organization isn't really well liked. People like them, but they are 'dorky'. I was invited to both organizations pref 2 parties, and went to both. I thought they both went great. So on Bid day, I relieved a bid from my second choice. I am still a little heartbroken. Watching my friend go through the new member process with my dream sorority is hard some days, but other days I feel like I ended up where I really belong. I just dislike that our reputation on campus is 'dorky' and 'bland' and people don't think we are very fun. I just needed to rant a bit.
