Recruitment Story! :)

[iceprincess1234]

So Bid Day was here! I didn't get that phone call, so I went to the room where they told us to meet. All the girls who were offered bids were there. At the count of three were told to open our envelopes. I opened mine and I got a bid from Project Runway!

When it was time for all the girls to run out to their new sisters, I have to admit that I was envious of the girls who were running out to American Idol and I was still upset by the fact they didn't choose me. However, I was still psyched for my bid to Project Runway!

When I ran out, it felt really good and the girls were just so welcoming! I knew Project Runway was right for me!

One year later....I'm still a member of Project Runway and I love it! I was definitely right about the strong sisterhood I felt about these girls during recruitment. I really feel like we have the strongest sisterhood of the three NPC sororities on my campus. Also, I love the fact we aren't the "typical" sorority girls, which I am not, so I really feel at home. After getting to know the other sororities better outside of recruitment, I liked them all a lot but I realize they weren't really the right fit for me, so I feel not being invited to pref by American Idol and ANTM was actually a blessing in disguise. I know that I have made friends/sisters for life and that's all that matters!!

My advice for anyone going through rush or will rush in the future - Don't let tent talk influence your decision, even if it is an organization other PNMs aren't too keen on. It's YOUR decision and not theirs. You have a different personality than they do; what you like might not be what they like. I almost let tent talk ruin the awesome experience I'm having. Also, your second choice in the end may just be the right choice. Even though I didn't get my first choice, I'm glad I didn't because another choice was the right one for me. Just because you may be cut from your first choice, don't drop out right away. Recruitment is a short time to get to know girls and the best choice may not be so obvious at first.

So, just to let you know Project Runway is..........................................
