Small School Recruitment

I don't have time for a full update, but I did want to add that, yes, I work with a greyhound group. Funny, I've come across some other Greeks with greys recently. Very neat! I've had my pup for a little over a year now and she is so sweet.

Oh! I did want to leave a clue for everyone to chew on: All the information at Recruitment at Small School I gave in the last few posts is very important, but not necessarily for me...*evil laugh echoes*

Does Coco COB?? She must be relevant somehow because I don't think you would have mentioned her otherwise!

Pref came around and I opened my mailbox to...1 invite. Was I sad? Maybe. Was I still surprised that I had gotten an invite at all? Definitely!

I remember wearing a very cute dress with a shrug and that it was COLD. Boarded the bus to take my group to the appointed destination and I stepped out, in heels of course, in front of a very nice home (an alumna's) with a limo out front. Yeah, you heard me right--there was a limo out front!

The girls of this GLO lined the porch (oh! wait, I might have just given away my locale), holding candles and singing a song I actually knew very well, despite word changes, because of my Girl Scouting days (I'm positive someone will have figured out what GLO I am talking about by that reference). We were led in and taken by the arm by the elegantly clad ladies lining the stairwell inside. I was paired with a girl I did not know, but who happened to be one of my friends in this organization's Big. We had a lovely conversation and the speeches were nice. Frankly, I was so nervous, I've blocked out much of the night! We were given a special item at the beginning of the night and we were asked to leave them behind for us to (hopefully) return to collect on Bid Day. I boarded the bus back to campus and spent the night fretting and freaking out. Would I get a bid? Would they want me? Was I good enough?

At the end of Pref, we of course had to do our rankings. At Small School, suiciding is (basically) not allowed, so my card listed both groups I went to for Skit Night.

Bid Day dawned bright and early. My friends and I headed down to the oldest and dankest and, ugh, thank goodness it's been torn down, dorm to wait for our Bids. All of the girls (and me!) who had survived thus far, we crowded into one large room. We were called out in slow trickles. It felt like forever until I heard my name called.

I was led down the hall to another room where one of the RX's handed me an envelope. Hands shaking, I opened the envelope, pulled out the Bid, and started nodding and jumping up and down. Yes! Yes! Yes!

Two RX's ran me down the flights of stairs and outside into the waiting crowd of my new sisters! In this same group were L'Oreal, CoverGirl, and Burts Bees, as were countless other great girls! I was so excited when my Bid Day shirt was pulled on me and I was "lei'd" and showered with confetti. It was so exciting watching all the other girls run down the stairs and into this group and others. Avon ended up in the other of my two contenders, as did a few girls I knew from my honors classes.

After the festivities on the steps, one of my friends (an active) led me back to my dorm to pack a bag for an overnight. We raced to the designated spot and we all spent the night getting to know each other, singing, dancing, enjoying some ice cream, and having a great time.

That year none of the GLOs on campus reached quota. Well, one of them almost did; but, they were all looking to COB. During NM, we were asked to come up with a list of any girls we knew who were interested but didn't go through Recruitment. I knew just exactly who to put down, but I had to check with her first. That night, I went to my boyfriend's dorm with a mission. I hunted down Coco and said, "I know <boyfriend> doesn't want you pledging, but...Would you want to be one too?" She was ECSTATIC and the next night went to a COB party. Within days, Coco and several great girls nearly doubled the size of our class!

Now, what GLO did all these classy ladies decide to join?

Have you figured it out yet?

Are you sure?

I, and my sisters, are

Maybellines!!!!!!!!!! Also known as

Delta Gammas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
