Sorry for the delay...I meant to post my last (and final) update last night but I got home super late from our sisterhood event. My bad
Pref day came. I felt such a peace when I woke up this morning - I didn’t have any idea what that peace meant, but I had prayed the night before for a peace of mind and thats what I had. After getting ready, lots of pictures in our pretty dresses, and braving the BELOW FREEZING temperatures to our meeting place, I met my recruitment group counselors to get our *final* schedules. I got my list and it read………
Meredith!!!!
I can’t really explain to you my emotions in that moment. I prayed to God for peace and clarity, and that I would end up in the place He had for me, and I was BEYOND excited that I was going back to my absolute favorite on preference day. But it still kinda hurt getting dropped from Christina. I was also super nervous about not getting a bid at all, since I only was going to one pref day party. I said a prayer and handed it all back over to God, telling myself that worrying would not help me. The excitement came back to me and I was so anxious to go back to Meredith. I had a two hour break before it was time though…
It was finally my turn and I was shaking walking in. I sat down with one of my really good friends and got to talk for a few minutes before the ceremony started. The ceremony was so beautiful and they made it really special for us PNMs. I became very emotional during parts of it. I got to sit and talk to one of my friends about what the chapter meant to her and what it could possibly mean to me. It was a very touching experience and every little detail was perfect. I walked out knowing that even if I would've had gone back to Christina, this is where I belonged.
So the wait began. At my school, our recruitment counselors call around 8-10pm that night if we didn't receive a bid. I waited very nervously to see if I would get a call. I was so nervous because although I had some I was interested in coming into the process, I really just wanted to be a part of any sorority. I had heard such amazing things about the sisterhood and opportunities and it was something I wanted to be a part of so bad.
10pm came and still no call from my recruitment counselor. I decided to wait it out until 11 before I got too excited. No call ever came.
The next morning was a whirlwind of emotions. I knew which sorority I would be receiving a bid from, so I didn't have the nerves like some of my friends, but I was very anxious to run home to my new sisters!!
I was the last group to open our bid cards, and afterwards the celebration began! Just in this first week of being in a sorority alone has been so great and I've been shown so much love. I've met amazing people and I'm enjoying myself so much. I can't wait to see what the next few years hold for me as a......
