This past week has been insanely crazy. Over a thousand
girls moved in early to go through rush to potentially get the opportunity to
join one of the eleven sororities at the University of Oklahoma.
Recruitment started with Round 1, which was 2 days long. I visited 5 sororities
on the first day and 6 on the second. I
absolutely fell in love with the majority of the chapters here. I could easily
decipher the genuineness from fakeness in many of the houses. After Round 1, I
anxiously awaited for my schedule to arrive at my dorm room to see which houses
I was invited back to. All the girls on my floor were told daily to not worry
and “trust the system,” but it was so hard to not be anxious the entire week. Once
I received my schedule, I had so many mixed emotions. I was so upset that I got
cut from a few of the houses I truly loved and felt a connection with, but happy
that I still had one sorority left that I was in love with- Delta Gamma. I knew
from the beginning that I wanted to be in that house. I had a feeling like no
other there. I actually felt at home. I knew the girls there liked me for me
and not for whom I knew or what I had. I stayed very hopeful, anxious, and
scared that DG would keep me throughout the week past all the rounds, and they
did. After a week of being incredibly worried and unsure of what would happen,
on bid day, I unfolded my paper to see “Delta Gamma” written boldly. I couldn’t
stop crying; I was so happy. I quickly ran over to the house to find my name
printed on one of the Anchors held up by one of my new sisters and found her.
We took so many pictures including ones with the entire sorority. All the girls
were so kind and welcoming. I was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to see what the
next four years had in store for me at Delta Gamma. I felt like I belonged,
and I couldn’t be happier.
