Preference Ceremonies

Ok, I am so sorry for keeping you waiting for so ridiculously long. I really am. I’ve been very busy with school and… well you can probably guess

! So anyway, I was really nervous for prefs! I was so excited when I got my schedule though!

Tennis
Gymnastics

Tennis– Their house was decorated absolutely beautifully! I talked to a few actives I had never met before. They said they had heard a lot about me and were looking forward to meeting me. A couple girls got up in front and told stories of how supportive their sisters were when they were going through rough times. I looked around and saw a bunch of sisters tearing up and some crying. I do not cry really easily but this definitely touched my heart. They had such a strong sisterhood. I would be honored to be a part of that. When it came time to leave, I didn’t want to go. I really wanted to be a Tennis.

Gymnastics - I was so excited to go back here! Their preference ceremony was beautiful. The girl I had been paired with for the past two rounds came up to me and we talked. She told me about all the wonderful things her sisters did for her when her mom died. I started tearing up. I talked to a few other actives while there and I loved every one. Their ritual was beautiful. I wanted badly to be a part of their sisterhood. Once again, I didn’t want to leave.

I was freaking out when it came time to fill out our bid cards. I LOVED both and knew I would be thrilled no matter which name I read on my card. It took lots of thinking which probably wasn’t necessary but finally ranked them like this.

1. Gymnastics

2. Tennis

After thinking it over, I realized that if I wasn’t a legacy to Tennis, I would rank Gymnastics first. So I thought I should follow my heart instead of picking one over the other just because of my legacy status. It was definitely close though. I would have been happy in either.

Uh oh...is it just me or did you forget to delete something out of that post? I guess we'll find out soon enough!

What a smart way to think of things. It sounds like you'll be happy in either house! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Very exciting... waiting to hear more... ( and yes, I saw it too) and still very exciting.

lovespink88 · #84 09-03-2009, 04:10 PM

lol, no worries...I agree, just cause I saw it doesn't make it any less exciting! Can't wait to hear your ending!

Bid Night!

I'm just going to post this now so I don't forget and make you wait another week.

Anyway, I was incredibly nervous. I knew I would be happy as long as I got a bid. I waited with my cell phone by my side just in case. Bid night finally came! I was ecstatic! Like I said before, if I didn’t get a call I knew I would be happy for the next four years. I was handed an envelope by my Rho Chi (who by the way a Football, the other is a Hockey

) When it finally came time to open them, I ripped mine open. I screamed when I saw the beautiful letters of …

GYMNASTICS!!!! So most of you know already what Gymnastics is, thanks to my silly mistake!

For those of you who don't know, I am very proud to call myself a...

Kappa Alpha Theta!!!!

Yay, thats the end of my story! Thank you so much for reading , I really enjoyed telling it! I am so glad I went through rush, it was one of the best decisions of my life! I almost forgot to tell you; my roommate Jenny is now a proud member of Golf!! I’m so happy for her! I called my mom soon after receiving my bid and she is so happy for me. I love my new life as a Theta, even though it hasn’t even been a week! I’ve met so many wonderful sisters and I love my pledge class. Well, I’m sure many of you have probably guessed my school. I would love it if you kindly refrain from posting it. If you haven’t figured it out or want your guess confirmed feel free to PM me. I also am not planning on releasing my code to the public (besides, well Gymnastics) so if you really need to know the names of some chapters, feel free to PM me for those as well. Once again, thank you for all of your support and knowledge! If it wasn’t for you helpful GCers, I might have flunked out of rush!

Congrats to you and Theta!! I spent last weekend with your Executive Director - she is wonderful - I am sure you will have many happy Theta years ahead!
