the end of my story!
So as mentioned in the last post it was bid day for formal recruitment which I had withdrawn from before house tours. Although the colony sounded like a great idea, i was beginning to realize what i would be missing by not being part of a established chapter. The whole day I had been beating myself up over my decision to withdraw when I only had two houses jasmine and aurora because i knew girls in both those houses.
So bid day was at 7pm and around 530 and a friend of mine from a sorority on campus called me. I didn't even know what to think when i saw her name on the screen. She called and asked why I had decided to withdraw and said that the girls I had rushed with at her house had really liked me. I explained myself and talked about the colony. She then said that if i wanted to do the colony i should go for it but if i was having second thoughts that she wanted to offer me a bid! WHAT!? i thought i withdrew how can this happen? I was so overwhelmed that I told her I would call her back in a few. I called my rho gam but she was busy. So i called my parents and told them what was going on. They told me it was my decision. Urg! I had to make my choice soon because I had to go to bid day to accept my bid if i wanted it. So go with the colony and take a big chance not knowing if ill get a bid or who the other girls will be? Or do i accept a bid to a chapter that wants me and where I had had good times during recruitment?
I called my friend back with my decision and what did i say? I told her i would love to accept the bid they had offered me! I was so happy and then I even got to bid day and open my envelope! It was the most intense two hours of my life thus far packed with so many emotions!
I also got to catch up with my friends! When I showed up to the field I couldn't believe how many girls weren't there. My rho gam said that on house tours almost 200 hundred girl withdrew! A lot had to do with swine flu which really sucked for those girls who would have continued with recruitment if they weren't ill. Anyways Lily only had preffed at belle which she was really happy about, so she knew she got her number one on bid day! Tink had gotten cut from alice after house tours which she was a little upset about because they were her number one. She had aurora and jasmine and had ranked jasmine number one on pref night.
So which house did I get? Well when we ripped open our envelopes Lily had Belle, Tink had Jasmine and I had...
AURORA!!!
