My daughter bawled her eyes out after opening her bid...and of course called me (450 miles away) just crushed (my heart broke too, for her). She actually REALLY liked the house she got a bid from all throughout rush, but the house that she ranked #1 dirty rushed the daylights out of her, saying things like "you KNOW what you are, you are a ________", and "We all talk about you after the parties, everyone loves you...blah blah blah...". Really does a number on the pnm's, you know? Anyway, she wiped her tears and reluctantly went to her bid night events, arriving 30 minutes after everyone else! She was warmly and affectionately greeted by some of the older girls who may have had an inkling as to what was going on. Well, fast forward four years....my daughter just graduated from college and had the most fabulous collegiate experience as an ALPHA PHI!!!!! No regrets, no what ifs. Wonderful in every respect!!! It does get better
