At F&M we have deferred recruitment, so we have all first semester to get to know the girls. Day one I knew I wanted to go greek b/c the orientation advisors that were assigned to my hall were greek. The girl, was a sigma.
Throughout the semester I got to know the girls through various events at the house, and seeing them out at parties. When it came time for formal recruitment in the spring, I was sure I wanted to go Tri-Sigma. Though as i got to know the girls in my group i found out a lot of them were going to go to the other soroity(there are only two sororities on my campus).
I was tossing every scenario back and fourth in my mind. I had also started to hear so many rumors about the NM process in sigma, that i was scared.
On pref night I was torn. I got to the room to sign my bid card and put the other sorority first. I got back to my dorm, and burst out in tears. My friend told me i looked like my dog had just died or something. After sitting for a few minutes i ran back to the room where i signed my card and banged on the door. I told them i needed to change my bid card.
I knew i had made a mistake, and that i had let the rumors being spread around get the best of me. I changed my card, had sigma first, and ever since that moment i have been thankful because i have found something in sigma that i could not have found anywhere else. I love all my sigma sisters, and will always be thankful to those few panhellenic people that let me do what i had to do.
