A Hunger Games Recruitment

To anyone who may fault this poor girl for not being ecstatic with her bid, hold off. She is trying. She went to bid day. Give her a chance. Recruitment isn't always sunshine and butterflies...even when it ends up being our beloved sororities. I can tell you that more than once I was the sister pulling the crying NM into a room on bid day for a pep talk before taking her to the bathroom to wash her face. Those sisters frequently went on to be the best AOIIs. It can be hard to process rejection and put on a happy face in front of a bunch of screaming happy people when all you want to do is have a pity party. If you had a day or two to think it over, you'd probably thank your lucky stars that you got a bid at all and move on, but the shock is more than some girls can take. I hope she finds a Sigma Kappa sister that bonds with her at bid day and comes back lavender and maroon to the core!

When the criers transfer their affections, they can be just as strong for their love or stronger, because it is based on more than unicorn farts from rush.
