This is one of those times when I'm glad I'm a girl and we do everything in rush like the happy well-organized Communists we are.  |
Yeah, rush is very unorganized here and I wasn't too familiar with the process.
I got a call from the fraternity I'm in now at 8:30 saying to meet them at 10:00. 10:00 was the official time for bids to be handed out. 10:00 rolled around and I hadn't been contacted by anyone else. I assumed that if I were given a bid from anywhere else, they would have called prior to 10:00 to tell me to meet them at 10:00 (the way that the other fraternity had done), and since no one else had called me at that point, I went to where I was told to meet them. When I got there, there was a small ceremony thing and we were all given our bid cards and asked if we accept or decline. I know I want to be a part of a Greek organization, so I accepted under the impression that no other fraternities gave me a bid, with the hopes that I'd get comfortable with the fraternity that did give me a bid.
After the ceremony it turned out I had gotten a call around 10:20 (at which point my phone was turned off because of the ceremony going on), but by then I felt it was too late and I'd be better off sticking with where I accepted my bid and trying to make the most of it. But like I said, it's been a week and I'm still not really happy here; it wouldn't be as big of a deal for me had I not been given a bid from the colony, because then I can say "well this is what it is." But since I found out I was given that other bid, I feel like I'll be missing out on something really great if I don't pursue it.
