let her treasure this special night and remember and relish her memories and dreams. i appreciate that she exercised restraint and maturity in not telling us until she had time to meet celebrate with her new sisters and become part of her new family and her new life. granted, we all hope it is our beloved sorority/fraternity... and we will all know soon enough. This has been a classic thread... much like that of "curlygirly" with a wealth of the finest and best information given by so many dedicated, wonderful and caring gc members. This thread should be and will be read for many years. we have been privileged to share this thoughtful and wonderful journey with her. it has brought back many very sweet and fond memories for many of us. let her treasure and enjoy the thrills that only tonight can bring and then... when she lets us know... it will only be sweeter and mean even more. what a joy it has been to share this wonderful adventure with a very graceful and mature young lady... we would all be proud to call her our sister.

petals... i will dream a dream for you that your dreams have come true and that your new life is as fulfilling and wonderful as it has been for so many of us. we are thrilled that you found your dream and that this dream has a happy ending. you deserve only the best! thank you for letting us remember our dreams and remembering those dreams once again with you.

~sweet dreams~
dream*a*dream
blah blah, we're all happy for her, and we all "get" bid day but this doesn't keep us from wanting to know! It's really not that dramatic, it's a rush thread!

Ever seen that episode of SNL where William Shatner is playing himself at a Star Trek convention and has to shout, "People! It's just a TV show."

So, well... yeah...

Petals, congrats on your bid. Drop a line when you can and have fun!

I think we need to enforce this rule: If you start a rush thread, you must post the results IMMEDIATELY!

We're all happy for you, Petals, but we're so anxious to hear where you pledged.

We could make it part of the TOS, and when people DON'T report their results, could report them to death.

Generic and all.

Gah! I woke up this morning thinking for sure she'd have posted by now...then I went to work and just got on to check...and thought for sure during the day she'd have posted...I guess I have to keep being patient.

Hope your day has been a dream since it's your first full day as a new member of your sorority!

Ay ay AY!

I suppose now that I’ve officially had a death threat I can let you all in on who my new chapter is! I honestly didn’t mean to keep you all waiting this long (haha, really, I swear!) but with all of the bid day madness and classes today, this is the first time I’ve been able to sit down at a computer for more than five minutes. So here we go!

So as you know, I ranked my groups after preference in the order: St. Lucia, Bahamas, Miami… all of which I had great times at and would enjoy a place in, so going into bid day, I already felt lucky. Unlike most of the other girls in my Pi Chi group, I wasn’t nervous—just excited.

So…



When I opened up my envelope and saw that I’d be going to the beautiful…























BAHAMAS











I was ecstatic to see that I was a

brand…





new….






























(member of….)














































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































ALPHA DELTA PI!!!!!!!



At which point everyone headed out to the HUB lawn where, though it was nearly dark out, hundreds of sorority women were holding their chapters’ banners and giant letters for us to run to. I know that ADPi distributed 27 bids and is now at total, so I’m assuming that quota was somewhere right around there. Even though I didn’t get my “first choice”, I’m super excited to start learning names and getting to know my new sisters because I know I ended up where I did for a reason.

Before I tell you which group is which, I just want to mention again that I saw something great in every sorority I visited over the past two weeks. I felt as though I meshed better with some sororities than others, but regardless, you can all rest assured that your sisters here at PSU are representing your organizations very well. I say this because reading over some of my notes from the earlier rounds, it might seem like I wasn’t a huge fan of some of the groups, but honestly, even my “least favorite” sororities or places I didn’t feel connections at were a lot of fun.

[/ End cheeseball disclaimer ]

Alpha Delta Pi - Bahamas
Alpha Omicron Pi - Barbados
Alpha Phi - Cancun
Alpha Xi Delta - Fiji
Chi Omega - Hawaii
Delta Gamma - Miami
Gamma Phi Beta - Acapulco
Kappa Alpha Theta - Maui
Kappa Delta - Jamaica
Kappa Kappa Gamma - Puerto Rico
Pi Beta Phi - Aruba
Sigma Delta Tau - Bermuda
Sigma Kappa - Virgin Islands
Zeta Tau Alpha - St. Lucia

Thank you all SOOOO much for making sharing my story such a fun experience. Like I mentioned, I didn’t really have anyone in real life to cheer me on, so all of your support was awesome to come back to when I was tired and drained and burned out on all things sorority.

See you around GC
