Part Two: Orientation and my Amazing Rho Gamma!
In my past week of being in my new city before recruitment started the weather has been perfect, sunny, pleasant and bright. Then this morning, the morning of orientation I woke up and looked out the window to see a dark grey day, wet but not rainy. On my way to class it felt like I was constantly walking through a mist! Not enough for an umbrella, but enough for it to be both unpleasant and very bad for the fate of my hair. All day I just thought, thats just my luck! Especially seeing as how I have an appointment for airbrush tanning a couple hours before orientation, I don’t know how the tan will every dry in this weather!
Orientation was held in one of the schools big auditoriums, and it was full. Like, really full. The sound of girls talking though out the hall gave the impression that auditorium was not full of girls, but full of twittering birds. All the girls sitting around me were freshmen, it made me feel absolutely ancient! My nerves were building as information began. Most of the actual information they gave I already knew, but then they played a video. It was a video produced my the Panhellenic national council, dare me to move was playing in the background. I was watching this video, when I suddenly realized my eyes were tearing up! I was so moved by the video, the words on the screen, the music, my own excitement and apprehension. I couldn't believe that I was actually crying, and recruitment hadn't even started yet!
I pulled myself together to meet my Rho Gamma’s and my Rho Gamma group! They talked and introduced themselves and we introduced ourselves to each other. I met another girl who was a sophomore also, we commiserated on how incredibly old we both felt. But the highlight of my night was meeting one of my Rho Gammas, for the purpose of this thread I shall call her Tinkerbelle! Tinkerbelle and I are kindred spirits, after everything was over I went up to ask them a couple questions and we hit it off right away! I absolutely love Tinkerbelle and I am secretly hoping that she is a really a Cinderella… and that I might be a Cinderella as well.
