Is it typical to have a cell phone at the parties? I can't imagine carrying a phone into the party and with a recruitment as large as this one how would the Gamma Chi's keep up with everyone's valuables? It just seems needlessly cumbersome.

I turned my phone off during the parties since I didn't want any distractions, but on days that I had long breaks I got in the habit of texting between parties. I had bus rides between each house for Prefs where I quickly checked my phone, gave my mom an update on how I was feeling, and turned it back off.

It surprises me that this is allowed. It certainly seems to violate the spirit of strict silence. Interesting.

Bid Day was the first day of classes. I was SO antsy to find out about my bid! I was freaking out all morning that my Gamma Chi was going to call and tell me I hadn't been offered a bid...but once I got past 10:00 I started getting excited!
We all got ready to go to Gamma Chi reveals and to get our bids, and then we would get changed into our dresses and take the bus to our Bid Day parties. My group was super nervous but I was BEYOND EXCITED!

After the Gamma Chi reveals (I had NO IDEA what mine was, by the way. She was good! She ended up being a French Vanilla) we finally circled up for our cards. They called for us to flip and mine said...

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP!

I started jumping up and down and squealing! My Gamma Chi came running over to hug me- she knew how hard the choice had been for me!
I ran to get changed and hopped on the bus to the party...and had SO MUCH FUN!

Now, several weeks into it, I can tell you that I LOVE MY SORORITY! The girls are AMAZING, so incredibly fun and smart and active and involved! I have made great friends already and am so looking forward to meeting even more of my amazing sisters!
