When I sang those lullabies, I was hoping it would actually embed those songs into her brain associated with warm, loving, happy feelings so when she went through recruitment at an AGD chapter, she would instantly feel that connection. Don't you know she picked a school without an AGD chapter...lol. As much as I would have loved for her to be an Alpha Gam, in many ways, it takes a lot of pressure off of both of us to NOT have it be an option for her.
She did say she wished the re-colonization activities happened at the same time as the rest. She's worried she will love their initial presentation but is nervous about the idea of dropping out of recruitment to only do that one, just in case she didn't make it through that process. Mom's suggestion was that she stick with formal recruitment through preference but if she thinks AOPi is more appealing after Prefs, to drop out before signing her MRABA. Mom's only other pieces advice at this point were "Have fun and keep me posted!" and "Send me the financial info as soon as you know it so I can work on the budget." LOL
She is determined to just be herself and trust she'll end up where she is meant to be, in the same way she conducted her college search.
