Retro Recruitment

Okay, so I didn't sleep all night. It didn't help that I was in the room by myself after my roommate left and that several of my friends had dropped out of rush after being cut by their favorites. My friend who had wanted the Go-Gos so bad had been cut. I kept waiting for that knock to come because I was sure it would.

But it didn't.

I can't even begin to tell you how happy I was when I went to pick up my bid that morning. I could never have imagined I would have wanted something so much. My rush counselor handed it to me with a smile. When I opened it, it said --------





Go-Gos.




Better known as



















Delta Gamma!





It was so weird to have to call my parents and apologize that I joined a sorority. They definitely came around over the next year as they saw what a positive experience it was for me, and met some of my amazing DG friends.
Because so many people in the house were so involved, I became much more active in campus life. And I met some of the most amazing women - women I'm still friends with today.

On a side note, it was interesting the reaction I got from some of my friends from freshman year who weren't in sororities. One called it a cult, while my friend who had been cut didn't talk to me for a month. It all ended up okay.
