Skit Night

I had been told over and over again that this was the best night of recruitment so i was extremely excited, until I talked to my rho gamma and she told me that Belle had dropped me. I was very upset again, but happy that I still had Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, a couple of the other girls in my group had either 1 chapter or had been released completely. I again would later find out that Belle had been going through somewhat of a restructuring over the summer and wasn’t allowed to take any grade risks whatsoever. Anyway, going to 2 out of 4 wasn’t great, but it could have been worse.

First again, I went to sleeping beauty and they did an adorable casino theme. The skit was AMAZING and they made me feel like I really belonged there. I didn’t want to leave I was having so much fun.

Snow White’s skit wasn’t as memorable as sleeping beauty’s, but the overall party was great! The mardi gras theme was adorable, and the girls I talked to were great. It was crazy thinking how my opinion of this chapter had changed since the beginning. I was looking forward to and *hoping* to go back for prefs.

Rank *though I didn’t really need to, my rho gamma made me anyway*

1. Sleeping Beauty
2. Snow White

Only prefs and bid day are left. While I had my fair share of heartbreak, the next few days were def. the most difficult...

Thanks for reading!!!

Well...thank you so much to the ladies who are reading my story!! I'm so excited that people are actually looking at it hehe Anyway, instead of dragging this on for ever...here is prefs... I wish that I could have remembered more, but it was almost six years ago and my notes from pref pretty much are non-existant...

Prefs

So finally a meeting with my rho gamma where I wasn’t disappointed. I was going back to both sleeping beauty and snow white! And I will let you know now that one of these chapters is a legacy chapter for me. My grandma was sooo excited!

The first pref I attended was Snow White. It was beautiful, their flower was everywhere and everything was just very elegant. I felt a real connection with the girl I was talking to, and their ceremony was very touching...I honestly left here feeling like I could be one of them, and again, I was amazed, because my first impression was so horrible.

Next I went to Sleeping Beauty. Their “A night in Paris” pref party was nothing short of amazing! I could tell that I was going to have a hard time ahead of me when I had to sign my bid card, and I think that made me stress out instead of enjoy the party as much as I should have. However, I remember hugging the girl that was preffing me at the end and wanting to go back. They had a huge window in the front of their house and were all holding candles and blew them out at the same time, and it was just a really amazing effect. Needless to say I didn’t know what to do.

one chapter I was a legacy to, the other I wasn’t. I was the second to last girl in the pref signing room, but felt very happy with my decision in the end.

I didn't know whether to pick the chapter I loved the most or the one I really really liked and was a legacy to...

and unless I get really distracted with something later, bid day should be up later tonight!!

Can't wait!

Well, for my lovely sister, howtheSunrose, who seems to be the only one reading anymore , and anyone else out there, here is the end of my recruitment story... bid day!!

Bid Day

I swear this was the longest day of my life. My rho gam said she would call me by 2 pm if I didn’t receive a bid. My mom kept calling me that day to see if I had been called and she was driving me nuts!! Luckily that call never came and I went to bid revealing with all of the other girls.

I was anxious the entire day, but I ended up getting my first choice and becoming a new member of Sleeping Beauty!! which is obviously Kappa Delta! I couldn’t be happier with my decision and the way that things had turned out.


My grandmas and aunt weren’t as happy as me, because KD wasn’t one of my legacy chapters, but they were happy that I was happy!

I guess you all probably want me to reveal what chapters are what, huh?






Well, I am a legacy at Snow White, which is Theta Phi Alpha, and Pocohontas, which is Chi Omega.

Jasmine is none other than Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Belle is the lovely ladies of Delta Delta Delta

which leaves the amazing ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta as Cinderella.

Like I said in one of my previous posts, I had the opportunity to be a Rho Gamma and it made me realize that I could feel at home in almost all of these chapters. and ironically the one that I almost accepted a bid from in the beginning is the one I don’t think I would fit in well with now. Crazy how things work sometimes!!

Well ladies, I hope you enjoyed it!!!

Good job - I really enjoyed reading it and am so glad you are happy in Kappa Delta!

Grats to you and Kappa Delta (though belatedly)! Great thread
