My little sis (bio) also came through recruitment when I was a senior. I convinced her to rush even though she had a negative opion of greek life(too many movies!). We've been awfully close our whole lives and I think she agreed because she knew that I was cool, so how bad could it be? She had met and hung out with a lot of my sisters and loved them. I was an officer at the time and let's just say I would've cut (with a razor) anybody and everybody who denied her. She was fit for us, and really any of the chapters on campus would have been lucky to call her their sister (though many cut her because of her biological ties to my house), she was and is a sweet, beautiful, funny, lovely young lady. I know one house in particular (we battled them for girls a lot)that she preffed at told her that she had to be tired of living under my shadow and being know as my little sister, didn't she want to use college as a chance to become her own person? Biatches. She didn't fall for it. And like littleowl, it was the highlight of my college experience seeing her run onto our lawn on Bid Day. After, two of my sisters took me aside and told me that even if she hadn't been related to me they would have had her at the top of the list. But the icing on the cake, was little sis telling me four years later that regardless of what my affiliation was, my chapter and her chapter was the only chapter for her!
And P.S. this is where I confess that I would have been heartbroken to see her in another's letters.
