We had a girl who wanted Tri-Delta and not us, so she was bawling on bid day (this was actually the year before I pledged, but you can tell in the pictures she was crying). I'm not sure how they dealt with her, but she went on to become very active... a choreographer for all of our skits and vp
rogramming (which is the second highest office in DG). She kept a few friends from Tri-Delt, but in the end she was able to admit she fit better in DG.
I was a different story... I had my heart set on one sorority, and after I got cut from them third round, it made me think seriously about what I wanted, and I started bawling because at that point I knew Delta Gamma was where my home was. I also went on to having several friends in that sorority (one is still one of my best friends, today), but because I joined a smaller sorority, I was able to go on and hold several different offices and represent DG on several different occasions. I know if I had joined the other sorority I might not have been able to do that, since it's such a large and competitive sorority, but I would've had the same friends in it, more than likely.
