Barely Retro Vera Bradley Recruitment

I see a Marrakesh ending coming....

Now, when it came to rank, I thought I knew what I wanted. But I had come along a little website called GreekChat, and they said never to “suicide” at recruitment. So I ranked them:

1. Marrakesh
2. Sierra

We had to wait two days in between ranking and bid night. Bid night, I headed with my dorm floor girls (who graciously invited me to walk with them even though we were not great friends) to get our bids. See, they were extremely excited as all of them had suicided and knew they’d be getting. I definitely did not. I even wore a specific shoes that were a color of both groups.

We all gathered and were one by one handed our bids. We sat on them until everyone was there. I opened it. Didn’t hesitate. Signed it.

Then I ran home to Marrakesh, which is Alpha Gamma Delta.
I went from “sure, recruitment!” to obsessed with Alpha Gam. I was on Exec Council for 2 years, lived in the house, and am now an advisor to two chapters.

By the way, my favorite Rho Gam is also an Alpha Gam. She serves on our Volunteer Service Team and was a great friend to me in college.

I felt like I wanted to post this to show how recruitment, even though it's crazy and stressful, can really help guide you to where you're meant to be.

I graduated and have been honest about my school on here. So the key is…
Pixie Blooms is Alpha Xi Delta
Ziggy Zinnia is Gamma Phi Beta
Lucky You is Phi Sigma Sigma
Sierra is our Local Sorority
