A Hunger Games Recruitment!

Bid Day

On bid day, I woke up feeling awful. I had a sore throat, headache, and fever. I had to leave my first class early, so for the next two hours I was lying in dorm preparing for the call to let me know I had been dropped. Finally, my phone rang with my Rho Gamma’s text alert. I knew it… it was over. I read the text. And I read it again. And again. It said, “Don’t worry, you won’t be getting a call from me today.” I could hardly believe it… I was getting a bid!! I called just about everyone I knew, before I decided to go to the doctors to make sure I wasn’t contagious. After this, I went back to my dorm to get ready, then to go pick up my bid with some of my friends. It seemed like forever until I finally got my bid card, which read…

AKA….































KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA!!!



Last night was one of the best nights of my life, and I absolutely love my sisters. All the sororities have their largest pledge classes in the history of my school. In fact, the number of pledges in all the houses is half the current members! However, because of so many girls going through recruitment, only half of the girls participating in recruitment girls got bids. I know how lucky I am that I not only got a bid, but to the house I loved from day one. As it turns out, 3 of my friends are my pledge sisters, and one of my Rho Gammas is also in Kappa! I’m so excited to begin my life as a Kappa and with my new sisters.

Also, I would like to thank everyone here on GC for all the advice they have given my (many) questions. Without you, I don’t think I would have been prepared at all! So thank you all very much and I’m sure I’ll stick around to continue reading all of your great advice ☺

Congrats on getting your choice! Kappa is absolutely wonderful everywhere I've been.

I'm sorry about your horrible start to pref. I would have been freaking out. Those guys were huge jerks to heckle you for being late.

Are you okay now? Was it just strep or something else?

Congratulations on KKG.

I think someone gave you some misinformation in regards to the large # of girls participating in recruitment vs. the amount of girls who received bids. There are only a couple-I believe 2- of campuses that we know of where girls may play be the rules, attend all the parties they have on their schedule every day, and still not end up with a bid. Ordinarily, quotas are determined after bid cards are signed after pref. parties, so that every PNM who signs a bid card has the best chance to receive a bid. Now girls on your campus may not have liked their choices through out the week and dropped, not liked their pref. choices and not signed their bid card, or single intentional preferenced(sip, aka suicided) one sorority and ended up with no bid, but it is unlikely that half of the PNMs that started recruitment at your college simply did not receive a bid due to the high volume of PNMs participating in recruitment.
