I prefed Phi Mu (I'm a fourth generation legacy, and my grandmother chartered the chapter at NSU), ASA, and AOII. AOII was the best, of course!

I just read your post. That is an interesting fact about your grandmother. Of course, we are happy that you chose AOII!

It caused quite a stir with my grandmother and aunts and what-not. My aunt (who was a charter member of the same chapter) was totally mad at the Phi Mu chapter and wrote letters to their nationals. I didn't think it was such a big deal (still isn't to me, c'est la vie)! The only reason I wanted Phi Mu was because I was legacy, the girls there were awesome, and still are, but not for me. Besides, our chapter "lodge" is bigger and it has a fireplace!

I did COR. Got a bid from DZ...but didn't accept.

Waited a while and went through formal recruitment...had my heart set on a chapter. My best friend and summer roomie was a sister there. Got released from that chapter. Decided sorority life was not for me. Dropped out of recruitment.

Waited a while and did COR. Got invites from KD and AOII. Went to Watermelon Bust and attended Monday night dinner at AOII. I was excited because there was this really cool girl in my nursing class who was an AOII..and she was so friendly and nice to everyone. A new member whispered to me at Watermelon Bust (when I was apprehensive about getting in the mud)..."These girls aren't like that. We don't care about messed up manicures!" I smiled and knew that I had found my home!

I only Prefed ADPi

some of you might know my story - I will do a retro recruitment in a couple weeks after the hoopla died down, because it was hell but ended great.

I preffed:
1. DZ
2. ADPi
3. AOII

Completely dirty rushed at ADPi but put DZ first because I thought they were socially a better house and that I would definitely get ADPi if I didn't get DZ.

I told myself on Bid Day if I got AOII I was not pledging so I was miserable!!! But I toughed it out and changed my tune and never looked back.

Crazy, amazing story but it was rough.

I want to make sure to say I definitely ended up where I needed to be. My 18 year old mind was too focused on what others where saying and reputations, especially at such a large greek campus where everything is socially stratified, that I didn't know how to find the right fit.

Sometimes I think 18 year olds should not be picking majors or rushing because there is too much noise that blocks out what the heart wants.
