JessSigKap's Retro UMD Recruitment

I am rooting for wicked just cuz I love the book!!!!

I can't believe your preffer set a girls hair on fire! How horrible for the pnm!!

[AnatraAmore]

Can you imagine going to the next pref party with slightly burnt hair? Eeek! What a story to tell down the road though! Especially if she were to pledge that chapter!

[FSUZeta]

well, we all know how flammable hairspray is!!

what a shame that your hostess shared that little bit of info. with you. that would have been uppermost on my mind and i am afraid that i wouldn't have gotten much out of their ceremony, being too worried about a repeat performance by the hostess!

I'm still rooting for 42nd Street... but it could be Wicked... TELL US NOW!!!

I talked to Annie, my technical but mostly absent Rho Gamma about what I should do when we got back to the Armory. I was pretty sure that 42nd Street was going to be first and Wicked second, but I wasn’t sure if I should rank Hairspray or not. I had heard that when you don’t rank all three chapters, you have a lower chance of getting a bid. Now we know it makes you ineligible for quota additions. Obviously that is way too complicated to explain to a PNM. Annie put it plainly, “I don't think you have to worry, but would you rather have Hairspray or no sorority?” I was thinking no sorority given the dichotomy, so I ranked 42nd Street first and Wicked second. I guessed that LaRhonda was in Phantom of the Opera and that Annie was in Sound of Music, only because I had overheard a conversation, but I really had no idea which chapter she was in based on her personality. I felt good leaving the Armory that I would be happy in either chapter.

It is Wednesday finally, and it is bid day. I did not get a phone call from my Rho Gamma and that means that I got a bid! I went to the Union and decided to hang out outside the PG Room and do some homework for 45 minutes before bid pick up---I had to be first!

Noon rolls around and PHA calls out the numbers of the Rho Gammas that are there, and of course like my crazy self, I got in there first from my group...

I walked up to Annie's table, and smiled. She handed me an envelope...






































and it wasn't mine. Rinse and repeat once more before I had to tell her my name because she couldn't remember. Then she handed me an envelope with my name on it...









































for 42nd Street or Sigma Kappa as many of you have guessed by now! Annie asked me if I was happy, but I was already jumping up and down, but LaRhonda knew I got Sigma Kappa! I gave both of them big hugs and thanked LaRhonda for making me stick it out!

My friend Danielle went Anything Goes
Stephanie went Phantom of the Opera
Both Annie and LaRhonda are members of Phantom of the Opera

Katie, from my theater class was my heart sister on bid day. I saw Sarah and Kelly on bid day and they were so happy that I joined Sig Kap! Our bid day shirts were really cool. They were baseball tees, white with red sleeves. The front left had what looked like a Special K logo but it said Sigma K instead, and the back said, "Treat yourself right!" We took pictures and went to Hard Rock Cafe in DC. I was so overwhelmed but in a good way!

Sarah later became my big. She told me that she wanted to pref me and be my heart sister but other people beat he to it and she's not one to fight.

[Leslie Anne]

Yay! for a happy ending! (even though we already knew there was one)
