My daughter recently pledged AGD at UGA. She was not invited to prefs at the sorority that she had loved all week and really had her sights set on. She went to prefs (under some duress) and completed her bid card (reluctantly). When she received her bid she was very hesitant. She knew without a doubt that she wanted to be Greek, but she was still in a fog of disappointment and hurt.
For one week the calls and texts were neutral and measured and then all of a sudden everything shifted and the enthusiasm and joy burst through! She is one very, very happy AGD at this point and, as cliched as it sounds, she says she can't imagine herself anywhere else. I had read stories like that on this site, but was so afraid that she wasn't going to be one of the happy ones and I am sooo glad that she is.
Tell Lucy to just keep attending, keep meeting new sisters and to stay open and willing. Sometimes trusting the process just takes longer than expected.
