OK, I am having trouble with the concept of NOT having Chi Omega at your school. I thought it was some kind of rule that all Greek systems have Chi Omega.

KitKat - I'm so glad you had a good time. I wish you a great new member period and much success in out Sisterhood.

I'm glad you had a great time...I know you will have a wonderful new member period with Chi Omega! Remember you only get out of an organization what you put into it! Good luck and keep smiling!

KitKat, I am so glad you've decided to give Chi Omega a chance. I definitely have to cosign with everyone who is raving about XO.... they're an INCREDIBLY strong national organization, and all the Chi Os at my school say that they can wear their letters anywhere and people will comment on the great reputation of their sorority.

I'm so glad you enjoyed bid night. Congrats to you and your new sisters

KitKat!!! I'm so happy that you decided to give it a shot. If I had realized where you are going to school, I probably would have paid more attention! I got my Masters from UMass Amherst (Class of '04). Chi Omega is a great organization, and the UMass chapter definitely has spirit!

Please go get a cookie from the Black Sheep and a piece of Antonio's pizza for me. I miss BBQ chicken pizza

KITKAT you have the potential to be a great 'preffer'. Your story is a great one and you told it so well. When I read your post (and forgive me for this) it actually brought tears to my eyes. Alot of us have been in your shoes and know almost exactly how you feel.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND XO - and it will be funny for you to read this thread 4/5 years from now when you are graduating and you will be totally surprised that you ever questioned joining XO . . . and don't forget you will get out of your sorority what you put into it. SO HAVE FUN!!!!

Congratulations on Chi O! I think it's great that you're at least trying it out through pledging. Based on my own experience, it's definitely what I would suggest too! When I went through recruitment several ago, there was a group that I fell in love with and thought was perfect for me. I didn't get a bid from them, though, and I was confused and hurt. But I tried my second choice and loved it. After I had been in the system for a little while, I realized that I really wouldn't have fit into the other group. Chapters generally have an idea about who will fit in best even though you don't see it through recruitment. I'm glad everything worked out the way it did for me- I wouldn't change a thing!!
