Paige's recruitment story!

[GoPaige]

Haha ok this might sound lame but I'm really excited to finish my story!! I'm going to be super busy this week so I'll do round 3...right now! Yay!

So I went to the rho gamma meeting place early in the morning to see which of the sororities invited me back. I remember not being all that nervous this day, which was nice. For this day, we could attend a maximum of 5 parties. I got my list and saw that I had only been invited to 3.. My list said stocking, lights, and snow. I was really really disappointed that Candy canes didn't invite me back. I had a feeling that Santa wouldn't invite me back, just because the day before was super awkward. I still had 2 houses that I liked, and still stocking...oh stocking. Round 3 was skit day..

Stocking It seemed like this party was never, ever going to end. It just kept going and going..mostly because that girl I talked to told me that she had trouble making small talk...hmm maybe she shouldn't have told me that. To be honest, that creeped me out a slight bit. I wouldn't say something like that to someone if I was trying to get her to like my sorority. Oh well everyone's different I guess. Then all of the pnm's sat on the floor and watched stocking's skit. It was interesting to say the least. I thought it was going to be funny, but it was more serious. I'm not a super serious person, and this gave me the impression that they are. I still don't think I will fit in. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Snow Snow's house was decorated soo cute! I was so happy to be there. Girls that I had talked to from the days before came and said hi. That was so nice and polite of them. I talked to one of the same girls from the day before and we got along great. We didn't just talk about my dorm and my major, but we actually had a conversation. Their skit was really funny and cute. These girls seem to have awesome personalities and I think I would mesh well with them. I am DYING to be invited to pref! Please!!

Lights I was suprised by the "lights" today. I talked to 2 girls who were both super cute and nice. And their skit was hillarious!! I was dying of laughter the entire time. It was sooo funny! These girls seem amazing. I got this feeling today that they do enjoy being "lights" and maybe those first few days were just off days for them. I really like these girls and see myself fitting in with them. I would love to be invited to their pref!

So since I only had 3 houses out of a possible 5, I had to rank all of them 1. But its ok.. I really want to be invited to snow and lights!! ahhh

[GoPaige]

And so its finally PREF night! It was hard having to wait until 6-ish to find out which invites I got (I knew I got at least one because my rho gamma didn't call). Today was probably the most nervous I had been during the entire process. I got all dressed up and did my hair, but tried not to look over done. I decided that if I was only invited to stocking that I would drop out. A significant amount of girls had dropped out by now, probably a little more than half of my group was left. This was definitly the sadest day by far. So we got our invites and I only saw 2 names..my heart sunk. But then I read it and saw "Snow" and "Lights"! YAY! But where was stocking? Did they actually cut me?? Girls began crying all around me and many dropped out right then and there. That was hard to see...

So on to pref night...

Lights The ceremony at lights was absolutely beautiful. I was in awe! I was paired with a girl that I had never talked to before, but she was nice. She talked about how much lights meant to her and how stronly of a bond she feels with her sisters. She told me stories about their sisterhoods and different activities they did. I want to say that I loved this house on pref, but I just didn't. I really, really liked it...but I didn't love it. I left feeling like they really wanted me to be a lights and would love to have me in their house. I think if they offered me a bid, I would accept.

Snow When I saw snow on my list I was thrilled! I actually thought they dropped me, as opposed to stocking (*because our invites are individual pieces of paper with the sorority name on them and what time. My first one said "free time" so I, being pessimistic, assumed it was snow...not that I actually got their names confused.. sorry for the confusion*) Their ceremony was amazing. These girls love being snow! And I can really tell. They had their seniors get up and talk about their time in snow and what it meant to them. They told amazing stories about their sisterhood. I knew right then and there that I wanted to be a snow. I wanted to live in this house with these girls and be their sister. I left that night feeling amazing. I would be heartbroken if I didn't get a bid from them.

So after the final party we went to rank our houses and I ranked as follows
1. Snow
2. Lights

Bid day was the next day and our rho gammas were supposed to call us if we didn't get bids. I didn't sleep well that night at all!

[texas*princess]

[FSUZeta]

arrrrgh. i can't wait!

[thetaprincess]

I cant wait either. I wonder where ?

[GoPaige]

Ok so its finally BID DAY!! woooohooo! I was so excited and nervous the entire day thinking about where I got a bid (or if I got a bid...) We were supposed to meet our rho ghammas at 7. The rho gammas did their revealing which was super cute... and then it was time!! ahhhh! They handed out the envelopes and had us sit on them until everyone had theirs. Then they said... ok go!! and everyone started opening their cards...I opened mine and it said....



















SNOW!!!!!!!!!
