Bid Day
After last year, I was a nervous wreck. I couldn’t concentrate in my classes, which were over before noon. I tried to do homework to no avail. My phone was turned on high and my room was spotless. By about four, I felt safe but still nervous. I drove some other girls over to campus and we walked trying to seem calm. I couldn’t believe that I had made it this far. So many people were at the field! I felt like it took forever to find my Rho Gammas. They had their letters on but the Rho Gamma sweatshirts over. Photographers were everywhere having groups get together to take pictures. A half hour after I had arrived, it started. The Rho Gammas all got in a line in the middle of the field with their backs toward us and their fronts to the eight sororities, all of which had banners or cut out letters. Their sweatshirts were off now and their letters were facing away. Just like every other meeting, the Rho Gammas began with the different cheers of all the sororities. Only this time it was different because when the cheer got to their sorority, the Rho Gamma would turn around.
One of my Rho Gammas was a Trojan. The other, the really cool one who had driven me home the first night, was a Cardinal. What are those chances? Either way, I already knew a sister pretty well.
They then came over and began handing out the cards. My name is of course last. I swear I am marrying someone whose last name begins with the letter A.
The count down begins and I’m holding another PNM hand.
ONE
TWO
THREE
CARDINALS!!!!!!!!
So I jump on my Cardinal rho gamma and then run to my sisters who have the banner, which includes the girl who had preffed me. I then called my mother and told her. The groups began to run to the houses .
