Not boring at all! Plus I like that your school has just a few sororities... it's easy for me to keep track of.

Not boring to me either - I want to know what happens next!

Ahh sorry Im so slow! Thursdays are really busy days with me!!! SO! On with the tale. But first a little background that I've kept a secret so far. I didn't want to mention this at first but I decided i will: I am a legacy at one of these sororities. I honestly didn't realize it at first. I knew my momma and grandma were in sororities, because in 3rd grade I always wore my mom's letters to school. I remember not knowing what it meant because there was/were some/a weird shape/s on it. Anyway, I wont say which cause I dont want it to get ruined, but this may or may not come into play later. [/COLOR]
Anyway. I got my list of pref parties and I got

1. Lo and 2. Audrina

I was so excited to get my faves again! I had a feeling it was going to be a complicated day.

I went to Lo first. When I walked in, I was grabbed by one of the girls I had LOVED the previous night. She was so sweet and told me how excited she was that I was back. She told me all about their badges (which were SO cute) and then we had this ceremony involving Lo's flower. It was so sweet, and I actually almost cried, which is surprising for me. A few of the members told stories about what Lo meant to them, and I almost lost it. I loved how close they were, and I could totally picture myself in their position the next year. I kept looking around and thinking that I would be thrilled to be their sister. I loved it when they said, "I didn't join Lo, I've always been a lo". When I left, my girl hugged me and said she knew that I would have a great experience in greek life, which I liked cause it wasn't too pressure-y, and still made me feel good. I love Lo.

By the time I went to Audrina, I swear I was in a haze. When I walked in, I got picked up by the girl I had talked to about Audrina's party rep. She looked gorgeous, and we had matching dresses on, which was funny. Hers was white, and mine was black. Anyway, Audrina had a bunch of girls stand up and talk about how much they loved being in Audrina, but they didnt have a sweet ceremony like Lo. I tried not to hold that against them though. I was having a good time, but then a new girl came over to talk to me. She said that a bunch of her sisters said we needed to talk because we were a lot alike. She was really cute so I thought that would be fun. Apparently she was the twin of the girl I talked to on the first day, because she asked who I also preffed that day. I felt sort of awkward talking about it, but I told her that I was going to Lo later (I didnt want to tell her I'd already been). Then she said, "its always between us and Lo. Lo is nice, but the only reason they get girls over us is because they have a really good name nationally. If you are interested in a sorority for college, we are way more fun. But if you are interested in name dropping or getting a job, join Lo." i was shocked! So I said, "I like everyone I've met at all of the sororities". I really wanted to just walk away! Luckily, the girl who I was originally talking to tried to save the conversation by saying, "don't mind her, shes our jokester. Lo is very sweet and you would have a wonderful college experience in either." By the time I left, I was pretty torn, because there were a couple girls that I absolutely adored, but two of them had given me a horrible taste in my mouth! I talked to my Rho Gamma about it somewhat, I didnt want to get too in depth because I was convinced she was an Audrina and I didnt want her to get upset or anything, but I just told her a couple girls had been a little tacky.

In the end I decided that while I loved girls in both, I didnt get that tingly feeling at Audrina like I did at Lo. I knew I'd be happy in either though, and a part of me still felt like I should join Audrina, so I ranked them both:
1. Lo
2. Audrina

My rho gamma told us that we'd get a call the next day by 1pm if we hadn't recieved a bid. By 12:30 I felt nauseous. I kept waiting and waiting and at 12:45 the phone rang..........

It was my Daddy, calling to see if I'd heard anything yet!!! We talked for awhile and he pointed out a little later that it was 1:05, so I must have gotten a bid! He also told me that my momma and grandma had been talking multiple times a day and they were so nervous and excited, but they didnt want me to know. I was surprised, because every time I talked to my mom she was so calm and didnt seem to be leaning toward either. It made me think about the names I wrote on that bid card a lot.

Mine definitely was, anyhow!

I was so nervous!. I had classes all day and I could barely concentrate. Plus, I kept seeing Los and Audrinas all over the place, and we're not allowed to talk. It was SO HARD! So finally at 8pm, all of the PNMs who had recieved bids gathered together in a building on campus. We walked to the quad/lawn area together and lined up in alphabetical order. We could hear the sororities chants and I swear, Lo was louder than everyone else. I'm embarrassed, but I had my fingers crossed the whole time. After what seemed like FOREVER, our rho gammas, who were wearing their letters, lined up and did a chant. I was shocked because my rho gamma from the last two nights who I thought was an Audrina was a Whitney! Then they all took off their sweatshirts and traded them around. They had tricked us! Once they revealed their true houses, we got to open our envelopes. My fingers were SHAKING as I tore it open..........................I pulled it out and saw:

We offer *my name* a bid to join the sisters of Lo on *my school* campus. (thats not exactly what it said. I dont remember at this moment.) I WAS SO EXCITED! I WAS A LO! I started running with all the other PNMS, while at the same time trying to pull out my phone to call my momma to tell her the news.............................................. .................

that we had one more legacy in the family!!! Momma and Grandma are Los!!!!!

She (through her tears) said she'd already sent me a package with her sweatshirt that I stole in 3rd grade (and a picture of me wearing it!) because she knew I was in...She didn't tell me the rule about being accepted if you make it to your legacy's pref night. (i guess she wanted me to suffer!) Then she had to put my daddy on the phone because she had to call grandma!!! Daddy said he wouldn't have let me join another sorority, but he knew from the day I was born that I was a Lo. ( i was named after a friend of my parents who is also a Lo!!!)

Sooooo....I arrived at my new house in tears after talking to my Momma, but it was ok because everyone else was crying too!! Then, the active surrounded us new members, got on their knees and started singing the best song ever.......

do you know what I am yet??

.....................

The words go something like this...............
