I would bet that that "bittersweetness" ends up becoming the sweetest thing you've ever tasted.

I received a bid from my second-choice group, after seriously considering suiciding during recruitment (my recruitment story is posted here as well). I took an office in my second semester in-house. Becoming a sister in Alpha Chi Omega became the best decision I made during my freshman year. You may not realize it right now, but give it a semester or two. You'll see it.

Because she's really twisted and hated you with every fiber of her being, and because if she'd said "alexa is this and that" the first night, it wouldn't have sunk in as much, and because she wanted to lead you on during rush and make you do exactly what you did, suicide. However, that is on a Cartman making chili out of Scott Petterman's parents level. I seriously doubt anyone hates anyone that much.

More likely, the girl who told you is stretching the truth - it's possible the girl from your hs said "I went to hs w/ alexa and I'm not nuts about her, but whatever." If she's dropping out of her sorority and it's the least acrimonious, she's going to make an effort to show them in the worst light as much as possible so she looks like the poor wronged little lamb.

Don't worry about not being close to your pledge class. It's really overrated. If the sorority's small everyone gets to know everyone and pc is not an issue, and if it's large and classes are mainly by class year, you'll get to know them better over time.

I would say its about medium sized. We have about one hundred girls, and there were about 35 in my pledge class. I figured that living in the house would help me to get to know the girls better.

I can say that there is someone who replied to my story that is also a blue, but i think she may be an alum. I wasn't really planning on revealing my code, but if anyone wants to take some guesses you can message me! I know that half the fun in reading these posts is finding out the code, so im sorry..but feel free to guess!

in your case, i think it is wise(and honorable) to not reveal the code. let everyone guess in pm's to you if they want. i know the last thing you want is for one of your new sisters to figure out who you are and that you are in your second choice.

FSUZeta, i completely agree with you. I was not planning on revealing my code over his thread. And my sisters in Blue do know about my experience and they are very supportive, but I still would not want to name it.

I'm glad your story ended with a happy ending.

I literally had a "Pink" during rush and ended up with a "Blue" haha. Not in the same way as you did though, I put blue down as my second after pref and ended up loving my "Blue" more than I would ever love my Pink. I look at the pledge class that went through pink and I really can't see myself in there now that I look at it. Good for you for finding a new sorority!

I love reading these storys. Sometimes the one glo that a pnm has their hearts set on do not work out, but I have never heard of a bad Sorority which in the long run can work out for the best. Normally, one is an active for 1-4 years, but, the Sorority life is and can be for ever. There is life after the college days. Congratulations and I truely hope it comes out the very best for you and your sisters.

Nope. The spelling is too good, and the sentences make sense.

No, it's him. He's just trying really really really hard and maybe wasn't as drunk this time around. Looks at his other posts too. Classic Earp phrases and interests. Classic spelling errors. Jumped right in as a new member with common GC acronyms that aren't so common IRL. Definitely Earp.

So the bittersweet ending to this thread isn't the OP's ending...it's the fact that Earp's back.

FML.
