I did SIP. So did my roommate.
I will admit that I knew enough about the Greek system at that point to know that all the chapters would still be below total (which back then was 40... but no chapter had been above the low 30s in years) and that COB would be a possibility.
I still think back and wonder what would have happened if I had not gotten a bid initially. That happened to three girls and they all got bids at 4:01 pm. I think my 18 year old self would have accepted it but my 41 year old self wonders if I would have felt bad about myself knowing I was not that high in the bid list? (And now being WAY involved on the other end having watched manual bid matching, I very fully understand why it's never a great idea for bid ranking to be seen by too many eyes!)
I wonder if I might have been persuaded to join
Bears but I don't think so. Funny, but today my mom days she just cannot picture me being in her sorority at all. (She always says this like its going to offend me somehow!). I remember that my perceptions changed a bit as I grew older but I never came around to feeling a bond. It's funny too - their ladies would often be over at our house during the summer when I was home from college (my mom was later their Rush Advisor) so i'd help them paint banners and listen to Greek life stories but I never did feel any "click" like I'd fit in with them. The two girls from my high school were super-popular so high school friends thought I was crazy not to pledge them. And the girl who I'd gone to Russia with eventually became my "sister" when she married my step-brother. Funny, huh?!
