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.

I only pref'd AOII...not that it was my choice. I was cut by every other group after I went around talking about my sister at all their parties! Who would have thought they'd assume I was going AOII?! Anyway, my sister pref'd AOII and Phi Mu the year before. I remember she called home crying after filling out her bid card because she had put Phi Mu first and was afraid she'd made a mistake. My mom comforted her and said she was sure it would all work out fine. The next day she got a bid to AOII and was thrilled. Things did work out fine...so I guess Mama was right!

Thanks-same to you! My close friend chose Theta, so I got to know a few of her sisters along the way. But bless her heart, as long as we remained in the dorm, she was the one kiteflyer among the rosebuds, because the rest of us in the bunch were AOIIs.
