So I woke up early on day four(house tours) of recruitment even though we didn't have to meet up until the afternoon. I barely slept that night because I was so confused about what to do. After talking to both my rho gam and the colony consultant I made the decision to withdraw from formal recruitment and pursue the colony. I was very relieved when I made this decision because I was done with recruitment for the next week. I also knew that I had really good chances with the colony because I had rec's from alum and fraternity members who were asked for a list of potential members. Also being a junior was a plus to the colony as opposed to a negative thing for the established chapters.
Two days later I went to sign up for a membership consultation with the colony. I was very excited about it but nervous too. It was bid day for all the other girls and I was a little jealous that they got to find out tonight where they were going. As the day went on I began thinking about all the aspects of a sorority i was going to miss out on by doing the colony like no big sis, no house for the first year, and no traditions. I also realized that i didn't know who the other founders would be and that I might not even get along with them. I had a small panic attack about this and really regretted withdrawing from formal. There was also the chance that I wouldn't even get a bid to the colony. I had made my decision though and I had to deal with whatever the consequences would be.
My story isn't over yet though...
