yeah, thats right...basically we get to choose which one want. If they don't want you...you get told.

btw...i'd finish my story tonight, but i just got back from the bar, and i'm totally drunk.

Its now thursday and Tanner isn't with colby and I anymore. I'm pretty sure he had already signed with rice crispies, but in actuality i didn't care. I had my list of houses to visit a second time. And i went in no particular order. When I got back to the Cap'n Crunch house the guy who talked to me didn't even remember my name. It was quite a turnoff, and since i wasn't introduced to anyone else, i had no one else to go off of. I immidiately scratched them off my list. The closest house to me at that point was the cocoa Pebbles house, and I knew that I'd sign their house if i went there. I decided to skip it and come back to be fair to the other houses. So i went to the rice crispies....if you remember it was 4th on my list, and the only real reason i was going was to see it more...

Then I got to talk to an someone i knew from highschool...someone that I wasn't too fond of.. that was a brother of rice crispies. He gave me a quick tour of the house...and while we were upstairs we just talked for probably two hours about the house. He asked which houses i was interested in and I told him about cocoa pebbles. He told me "those are a bunch of good guys. You probably would do very good as one, but I see you in my house a lot easier." he gave me the reasons why... and what stuck out to me the fact he didn't talk bad about the other houses like everyone else did....

It was a crazy moment. We went back down stairs and played some table tennis for another hour, and by the time i knew it, it was nearly 11. I hadn't been to the other two houses yet, but i had this feeling that I didn't want to. This house had turned the guy I knew in highschool into a caring compassionate person... and I realized that not every brother you're going to get along with. I turned in my bid card to rice crispies that night and shortly after colby did as well (I think he would have pledged the same fraternity as me anyways... but it was nice to have him as a pledge brother). The brothers were thrilled, and colby and I were taken to the front of the house and made to stand on the table while two GDIs read aloud "BROTHERS OF KAPPA SIGMA PLEASE WELCOME THE NEWEST PLEDGES COLBY AND STYROFOAM!!!!" Immidately after that the brothers cheered and went into an inaudible chant (we later learned the words to the chant).

I feel bad for not giving hte other two houses my time... but I just knew this house was the house for me. KAPPA SIGMA!!!!!

BTW... if you were wondering what the houses were, i'm not going to tell you which corolates. But i'll list the houses in whatever order.

Sigma Nu
Tau Kappa Epsilon
Alpha Tau Omega
Acacia
Pi Kappa Alpha
Sigma Tau Gamma
Kappa Sigma

Thanks for sharing your story...a question though, what do you mean when you say you had to stand on the table?

Thanks for clarifying . . . I was picturing two guys perched on the table tennis table.

Yay for Kappa Sigma!

I know lots of great guys in our chapter of Kappa Sigma, so I'm glad to hear a story that ends with them.
