B-Day!

We had to fill out our pledge cards by noon, so of course I put it off until 11:30. I had known all along that I really wanted one of the two, but the second was so close, I started to have second thoughts. Meg was wiser - she just burst into tears and sobbed!

After much angst, I finally ranked my card:
Garnets
Rubies

I turned it into the Greek Advisor and left as quickly as possible!

We were to go home, and if we did NOT get a bid, we would receive a phone call between 6pm and 7pm. How I got through that day, I'll never know!

***


I don't think I mentioned that I was commuting at the time - remember, I started college at 16, and planning to transfer after my freshman year! I was home, scared to death when anyone even got near any of the phones.








The phone rang, and my mother answered. It was the Greek Advisor!

Is it bad that I read this and went "YAY! She'll rush again and I'll get descriptions of more prefs!" ? But only because we already know it ends well!

I hope the dentist has to drill in your teeth. It's a fair punishment for leaving all of us hanging like that. (I'm only joking I wouldn't wish that torture on Sadaam Hussein)

Seriously, update, please.

Honey, since your were planning on transfering did that have anything to do with how you ranked/evaluated chapters during rush?
