Hi Hi Hi!
First of, I would like to say thank you everyone for your support. It has
meant more to me than any of you could ever know!!!
Okay so here is the story:
On Saturday, I went to Alpha's ritual event first. It was amazing. Hearing
the women tell stories about what the sorority had done for them and how
much they loved their sisters truly brought tears to my eyes, and all the
PMN too actually. When I left to go to the Beta event, i was so full of
emotion and I wanted Alpha so much I honestly did not know if I should
even go to Beta's event. After a lot of consideration, i decided to
anyway. Just because i loved Alpha did not mean they loved me too you
know...
So I went to Beta's Event and I had a truly great time. An Amazing time
actually, one that was in a very close competition with Alpha. One thing
that upset me was the way that Kristin was acting. She was so warm and
affectionate to the other girls at the event. Giving hugs and saying that
she was so happy that they were there, but to me it was more of a Hi, how
are you type of thing. Very short. Despite Kristin, all the other Beta
girls were amazing. They made me feel really included and i really loved
them.
I left the Beta event totally confused as to where i wanted to end up and
finally i realized that it may truly not be my decision to make and that
first i need to see who is actually offering me a bid before i make any
decision. But i knew i could be happy at both places, and that was a
pretty good feeling.
All of Saturday I sat in my apartment practically bitting my nails off,
and finally my phone rang at 5:30. It was the recruitment chair for Beta,
and she was calling to let me know that they had offered me a bid. I was
so happy to finally hear that i was wanted in a sisterhood. No sooner than
I had hung up, my phone rings again. I picked it up hesitantly and was
told by the recruitment chair of Alpha, that i had received a bid to their
house. I was completely overcome by emotion at this point and cried on the
phone with her for a good 2 minutes.
I had spent all summer worrying about this and just like that the worry
was gone. I drove to campus and picked up my letters of invitation and
went home to try to figure out where i truly belonged. I knew that
regardless of whether i picked Alpha or Beta I was going to get great
women to call my sisters, but where did i really fit? Which sorority was
my true niche? I did not sleep too well Sunday night.
I spent most of today going back and forth back and forth, not really
knowing for sure whose event i wanted to show up at..lol.
But at around 6pm. I knew. I was cleaning my room, and came across a
journal from last year. The last entry in January was about my feelings
after not getting a bid to alpha. I cried after I read over the words i
left about pain and rejection and how much i would love to be apart of
Alpha and what they represent. I knew right there that my heart belonged
to "Alpha",
Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority, and its sisterhood.
When I walked into that big room of Deephers i was so happy, so at home
and so thankful that God had listen to me. I love those girls and in 6
weeks, i get to call them my sisters, and that is just plain wonderful!
