When did you KNOW?

It was the first night of recruitment--theme night. I had a random conversation with one of the girls I was paired up with about glasses vs. contacts. We literally spend almost the entire time on that conversation and it didn't feel akward or staged. I never had that same feeling at the other sorority, so that is when I knew.

I knew the first night, the first party. I walked into the house, saw the girls singing and clapping on the stairs, and I immediately felt this overwhelming sense of being home come over me. There isn't any other way to describe it.

I went through informal rush and was encouraged to rush by a woman in another sorority with whom I worked. I received a bid from her chapter as well, but I never felt there what I felt at Tri Delta. It was hard to tell her that I was choosing another sorority, but she was so very supportive, even buying me DDD gifts after I pledged.

The biggest confirmation after the fact was during initiation. I was so amazed by how well the beliefs of Tri Delta fit with who I was as a person. I remember being overwhelmed with joy that DDD was the perfect fit for me.

I rushed in fall 2005. But by spring 2005, I knew Phi Mu was the place for me. Many of the girls had spent the entire '04-'05 academic year becoming my new friends and making me feel very welcome on a campus where I knew barely a soul (even though it was sophmore year) and my closest friend at the time had flunked out. I was going through the process of putting my life back in order, and Phi Mu fit in really well into the scheme of that.
