Hey everyone!! Oh my goodness I think I have been more busy this last week than ever before in my life!! I don't remember where I left off so i'll just give a brief summary of rush week...
After tour events when we saw all 16, we went wednesday morning and got our invitations back, and could only go to up to 10. I got invited back to 13...and so had to drop 3 (tough decision!!) but ended up dropping Sigma Kappa, Alpha Xi Delta, and Alpha Delta Pi. With so many girls going through rush, the cuts all week were really harsh..there were 2 girls in my section group who got no invitations back from any of the 16,and others with only a few.
So Wednesday and Thursday had me going on house tours of the 10 ("first period events"), which was really exciting! I had never seen the insides of these houses...and it turns out they were all beautiful mansions. I started sort of favoring some houses more than others..those being Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Gamma, and Alpha Phi.
We got our invitations back from the 10 houses we went to, and had to choose only 6 to go back to for Friday's skit day ("second period events). I got invited back to all of the houses that I really liked, and had a tough time deciding who to drop for Friday. I can't even really remember...but I went back to Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Delta, Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, and uhm...I actually don't remember the last!! I know that I dropped Chi Omega which was tough because I really liked them...and had to drop Sigma K's and AZD's again because they invited me back after regretting with interest. Can't remember who else I dropped!! Sorry guys, long week

Anyway, Saturday was Preference, and I went to Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Phi, and Delta Gamma. Gamma Phi's dropped me :P I was sort of surprised, because I thought I had connected with the gals I talked to, but I guess they know if you're going to fit into their house or not. Delta Gamma was my absolute fave going into pref night...and I was SO excited to have been invited back. They were my first house of the 3 parties, and it was absolutely amazing. OH my gosh was it amazing! There were testimonials while we sat and had cheesecake and chocolate decadence with chocolate dipped strawberries, vases and vases of the Delta Gamma Cream Colored Rose everywhere in beautiful overflowing arrangements, and sparkling cider in champagne flutes. The girls sang to us, and we went into the formal living room and they did a special ceremony with us and said some extremely touching things. I knew it was the place I wanted to be as I walked out, but I thought I should give the other houses a chance before totally getting my heart set on DG in case it didn't work out.
AGD was next..and they had a nice plate of snacks for us..cheeses and crackers and fruit, etc. They also sang to us and did a candle lighting ceremony, and it was also beautiful but I didn't get quite the same feeling from the house.
APhi was the last party of the night, and I really did like it there and could see myself as a part of the house. They had desserts for us, and it was also beautiful, but not quite the same as at DG for some reason. I think I just knew I wanted to wear that anchor pin!
I preffed DGs, then Alpha Phi, and AGD third...and was happy with the notion that any of those places would make a great home for me.
We got our bid cards after the Rho Chi revealing at 12, and I didn't even have to open the envelope. I could see through the top.....that golden anchor!!! I was allowed to be a part of DG PC '01, and i'm very happy about it as you can imagine
We've been extremely busy with bonding and eating and what not..just getting to know each other..there are 38 girls in my Pledge Class...so there are a lot of us!! Anyway, sorry I kept you guys in such suspense, but now you know...i'm a DG girl!!!
How'd Wednesday go?
keep us in the loop
Congrats and Good Luck!
