So my roommate who joined Java Blue ended up dropping ON bid day. She just didn’t want the time commitment and she was out of state so she didn’t feel comfortable with the money.
We have Christian sororities on campus, and I had never looked into them because my whole summer had been devoted to getting ready and excited for Panhellenic. Two weeks into school my roommate asked me to go with her to this Christian sororities rush. She didn’t want to go alone, and she thought that maybe it would cheer me up. In my head I was like “I CANNOT get dropped by another group of girls.” But she convinced me so I tagged along with her and three other girls we had met. There were only about 15 of us that showed up to carpool. I was reluctant because you go from being in a room with 800-900 girls for Pan and then you have 15.
We all drove to the location that they told us to meet. Immediately when I walked in, I felt at home. I don’t know what it was, but I was like okay this can work.
For the entire week I looked forward to going to the rush event that night. Just like pan, it got a little bit more formal throughout the week. After the last night, they delivered our bids to us In person. And the following day was bid day.
It’s been a little over a month and I’m already so in love with my new sorority and my sisters. I’ve been initiated and I can’t wait to spend my next 4 years with these girls.
Rho Gamma’s are right. You end up where you belong. For me, it just wasn’t Panhellenic. I’ll never know what happened behind the scenes. If they lost my card, got my schedule mixed up, or it just wasn’t the conversations I thought I was having. But I know that at this moment I’m where I belong and I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else(:

I am very happy for you and wish you a lot of fufillment in your new sorority.

I do have say how upset it makes me to read that your roommate accepted a bid (from one of your favorite chapters) and immediately threw it away There were SO many girls who probably would have cherished that bid that she took. Sad, sad, sad... just seems like a very selfish & inconsiderate thing to me. Hopefully they were able to extend a bid to a more appreciative girl via COB.

From my knowledge, they extended a snap bid that morning and the girl was able to participate in running home(:
