I definitely caught the OUR sorority thing. And I chuckled.

To the OP... PLEASE realize quickly that you are in no way guaranteed a bid to this house. It could happen, which would be amazing for you, I'm sure. But you also need to be prepared for the "worst" (and I put that in quotes because I'm sure the other chapters on campus are wonderful, too). Trust me, I say this for your own good. Remember that the chapter can always cut you.

.. OR.. you could cut this chapter. It's great that you're interested in this house right now (hopefully for all of the right reasons, and not just because of their social calendar), but remember that you haven't even met any of the sisters yet, outside of your family members, of course. You might find that you get to campus, start recruitment, and you don't click with the chapter that you're a legacy to.

Just PLEASE, whatever you do, don't treat the other chapters poorly because you only want a bid to this one house. I'm not saying that you would, but it has definitely happened... especially when girls are extremely set on one chapter.

Why do I have a feeling that she's saying "thanks! I forgot to put "treat all the other sororities like dog doo" on my checklist!" And meaning it in all seriousness.

Honey, I hope that you aren't as arrogant at rush as you have come across on here. Legacy or not, active sister or not, you don't know the current politics of the chapter.
