How did you know?

I might have said this before, but I wasn't really certain Tri Sigma was for me at first. My favorite story to tell PNMs is that the day I got my bid day bag (complete with Sigma letters on it) I turned it inside out so that no one could see that I was in a sorority! I was SO not sure I had done the right thing at all, thank goodness I was with my friend who had also received a bid at the same time.

The moment I realized I was a Sigma though was when I was headed to a new member meeting looking like a complete mess, no shower, no makeup, probably wearing jeans and a ratty hoodie. I hadn't had time to change prior to the meeting and for every event before that I had made sure to look my best because I still really felt like I had to impress these women. But sure enough, when I showed up at the meeting, no one cared what I looked like, everyone was just glad to see me and treated me just the same. That was the moment when I realized that these women really liked me for me, and that they cared about me and wanted to be my friend. That was the moment I realized I was a Sigma, and that feeling has only intensified over time.
