Night 5:
Pref came around and I opened my mailbox to...1 invite. Was I sad? Maybe. Was I still surprised that I had gotten an invite at all? Definitely!
I remember wearing a very cute dress with a shrug and that it was COLD. Boarded the bus to take my group to the appointed destination and I stepped out, in heels of course, in front of a very nice home (an alumna's) with a limo out front. Yeah, you heard me right--there was a limo out front!
The girls of this GLO lined the porch (oh! wait, I might have just given away my locale), holding candles and singing a song I actually knew very well, despite word changes, because of my Girl Scouting days (I'm positive someone will have figured out what GLO I am talking about by that reference). We were led in and taken by the arm by the elegantly clad ladies lining the stairwell inside. I was paired with a girl I did not know, but who happened to be one of my friends in this organization's Big. We had a lovely conversation and the speeches were nice. Frankly, I was so nervous, I've blocked out much of the night! We were given a special item at the beginning of the night and we were asked to leave them behind for us to (hopefully) return to collect on Bid Day. I boarded the bus back to campus and spent the night fretting and freaking out. Would I get a bid? Would they want me? Was I good enough?

Congrats! I must say I loved your story! It was simple (sometimes I just get so confused with the big schools) but fun to read!

Belated congratulations greyhoundrescue for joining Delta Gamma! I joined my GLO in Spring 04 as well. You totally threw me off when you said the opening chant was "scary"---I thought for sure that had to be Tri Sigma because I have heard they have a "scary" chant in other threads. But I knew Maybelline had to be DG when you said lei! Congrats again!

Recap
I thought it would be interesting to add a few things. Right after my initiation, I found out what sorority my grandmother was so desperate to join over 60 years ago. You guessed it, Delta Gamma! (That was at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln) Also, since I've become a DG, my mom's views on Greek life have changed somewhat. At our family reunion this summer, my little cousin asked my mom (a big crafter) to make her flip flops with flowers on them. My mom asked her what colors she would like and Ashley replied, "pink and yellow and maybe blue". My mom smiled, laughed, and said "looks like someone's a future Delta Gamma!" :-)

Yay Delta Gamma! I love being able to figure it out from the little clues (like the pref ceremony with the "special item"). That was a very fun story.
