On Bid Day '97, we met in classrooms at the College of Education. Each Recruitment Counselor Traveling Group (4 counselors and their groups) had its own classroom. (Prior, anyone who had not received a bid was called, so all the women in the room that morning DID have a bid.)
The PX's handed out white envelopes and we were told to wait until everyone had theirs. The wait was AGONIZING! The night before at Pref, I knew in my heart where I wanted to be, but there was that nagging "What if" pestering me to also consider my second choice... and perhaps to make it my first. Ultimately, I realized as much as I loved #2, #1 was my home from the beginning.
The PX's finally finished handing out the envelopes and at last, allowed us to open them. The frenzied sound of ripping paper filled the room, punctuated by exclamations and tears of joy. Beaming, I carefully read the words:
The ladies of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority at the University of Central Florida cordially invite you to join their sisterhood.
Joyfully, I ran down Greek Row to my new home with the other new members, and 7 years later, ADPi still is and will always be my #1.
