Bid Day
So, I didn’t get a call, which meant I had a bid to either Hold On or From a Distance. I went to the field and stood in circle with my recruitment group, and we all opened our bids at the same time. We opened our bids, and I had received a bid from . . . .
HOLD ON, also known as
CHI OMEGA

So to update the rest of my story, Amy got a bid to From a Distance. Heather and some other wonderful women later joined the sorority that was colonizing after formal recruitment, Love Takes Time. Jen (my friend from my Summer job) ended up joining It Must Have Been Love. Her sisters went through recruitment at this same university, and they all ended up in different sororities.
My recruitment counselor with the anchor earrings ended up being a member of Hold On (Chi Omega)- I was totally surprised. The woman from Chi Omega who I was paired with on House Tours, Activities Day and Preference Night ended up becoming my big sis. I had a blast as a member of Chi Omega and now know everything worked out for the best.
I believe all of the sororities made quota other than Vogue. Unfortunately, Vogue’s recruitment numbers continued to fall, and this chapter of Vogue closed a few years after my recruitment. The late 90s were not kind to the greek system at my university, which was the University of Oregon, and I believe Pump Up the Jam, From a Distance and Love Takes Time eventually closed as well. This is really sad because I think Pump Up the Jam and From a Distance had been at the U of O for well over 50 years, maybe even 75. Last I knew, Chi Omega was fortunately still going strong.
