When did you KNOW?

Oh I know, I debated for some time whether to post what I did. But then I realized that almost every recent PNM I knew pretty much chose from what she had left after the massive cuts (and did not necessarily get to choose the group where she felt like she clicked). Then I started thinking--almost all the recent recruitment stories reflected that as well. Yet most of them are happy and grew to love the group they ended up with!

I hope that any PNMs who read this will take it to heart and remember that rush ain't over until it's over; who knows? Maybe you'll end up in the sorority you loved from Day 1 and maybe somewhere else but particularly if you're in a competitive recruitment, please don't get your heart set on one group!

Sorry for the hijack of sorts! Back to the topic!

I knew the first day of recruitment. I had gone through several other houses and had petty conversation, very forgettable, and I really felt like I was not meant for sorority life at all. The singing, chanting, clapping, screaming... maybe I was wrong about myself! The last house of that day I reluctantly chanted and walked in, and- maybe I just got lucky- but the girl I spoke to actually CARED about me, and what I said, and my goals, and my interests, and didn't just "yeah okay" them, we talked about them. I felt natural, like I didn't need to put on a show. That's when I knew that they were the one for me!
