Delta Gamma Rocks My Socks!!!!
So, this was the most intense week i have had up here, it was of course, rush. I came up here so anti-sorority but i fell in love with DG and so i decided to go through with it.
Day 1: Today we went around to all 6 houses and talked and met with the girls to see what they were all about. It was 7 freaking hours, but it was so much fun. By the end of it i was so incredibly exhausted. I never knew that meeting people took so much energy out of you. Each house had a theme and a little presentation. The DG house theme was cowgirl, and it was soo cute. They were so incredibly welcoming and as i was talking to some of the girls, Kelli the president came running up to me and gave me a big hug and said how glad she was that i came. Two other seniors in DG did the same thing, i was so excited that they remembered my name and took the time to say hi and talk to me. The other house i really liked was Chi Omega. Everyone in that house is very mormon and i loved the environment because it was totally different then any other house. All the other houses i could just tell was not for me at all. One thing that sucked is that every house the fed us soo much food...i felt so gross after, oh man. So finally around 8 it was all over and i just crashed when i got back to my room.
Day 2: Today we had to check our bids to see who invited us back. We had to eliminate one house and go to 5 today. I ended up getting invited back to every house so i had the choice of eliminating the houses i wanted. I really wanted to eliminate 3 because i knew for sure they weren't for me, but i felt bad so i just eliminated Kappa Kappa Gamma and Alpha Chi Omega and went to DG, Chi O’s, Pi Phi and Tri Delta. The houses today were way fun. I absolutely loved Chi O and Pi Phi which was weird because they are the biggest praters on campus. But they were just so freakin nice. The Tri Delta house absolutely sucked and i hated every minute of it and of course the DG house rocked my socks. It was absolutely amazing, i loved every second of it there. All the girls were so freakin nice to me and just w ere so curious about me since i was from CA. They kept commenting on my earrings and my “style”. So, i just had a blast and the girls wanted me to meet everyone there, so i did!
Day 3: When i checked my bids today i got invited back to all the houses again but today we were only allowed to go to 3 houses. So i went to Pi Phi, DG and Chi O. I really hated the Pi Phi house today, they just seemed sooo freakin fake, i couldn't even handle it. I had nothing to talk to them about anymore and it just sucked. The Chi O house was so inviting and i really thought i might love being with them. I started to really get to know the girls and i felt like i could totally fit in. The only problem with that house was that everyone is from utah...no joke. And everyone is a legacy so it would be super hard to get in because they want to keep the tradition going. Then I went to the DG house and the girl taking me around made sure i talked to everyone there so that they would keep voting for me to keep coming back. I honestly felt like i could be myself and i wasn't worried about impressing anyone because i felt so comfortable there. I had never felt so comfortable in place where i didn't know anyone before. All the girls were soo sweet and soo cute. Oh man, they were all so hot, i couldn't even believe it, haha...anyway.
Day 4: Today was the most intense day to check my invitations because i was so scared that i might not get invited back to Chi O or DG. I didn't care about any other house, just those two. In all honesty i wasn't worried about getting into my top two choices earlier in the week because i kinda knew i would, but today i was just freaked out and soo worried. I just couldn't imagine the thought of not being in one of those houses. I had a stomach ache the whole day until i found out what i got invited back to. When i called in to find out the houses i was so relieved to find out that i got invited back to both of them. Tonight was the formal night where we had to dress up and we would go to each house for an hour, one for dinner and one for dessert. I thought that tonight would just be just like every other day but boy was i wrong. I was bawling the whole time in both houses. I just loved both houses so much, i knew i was going ot have such a hard time deciding what house to list first. I just loved both houses. I cant say what each house did because it is so secrete and so special that i would never want to ruin it for any girl who might rush. It was honestly the best night that i have had in such a long time, i just absolutely loved every second. After the second house we were supposed to walk back to the Union without talking to anyone to just think about what house we wanted to list as our first preference. The whole entire time i had no idea what to do, i just prayed about the right answer and then as soon as i got to the Union i just knew. I ended up putting DG as my first choice and then Chi O as my second. I knew i would be happy in both but i just wanted DG more.
So, what happens is that if your first choice doesn't want you in their sorority you have a chance of getting into your second choice. But there is a possibility that neither would actually want you.
Day 5: Today was the freakiest day ever, I was so incredibly scared. I heard that DG took about 15 legacies and 6 non and that Chi O took the same amount. Since i wasn't a legacy i was freaking out even more. I knew i would be fine in Chi O but i just wanted DG so freaking bad. If we didn't make either of our choices we supposed to get a call from the Rho Chi’s telling us that they were sorry but that we didn't make it into anything and that we should stay home. So the whole entire day i was waiting for a call, freaking out because i didn't know when they would call. So finally 5 o’clock comes around and we meet at the union and i still hadn't gotten a call...THANK GOODNESS!! So, i go in there soo freaking scared that they made a mistake and forgot to call me or something, all the worst possibilities were running through my head. The meeting started and everyone got handed their envelopes of which house they made it into. I got handed my envelope and we weren't allowed to open it for like 5 minutes, i was soo freaking scared. Then finally we were allowed to open them, all my stuff was on my lap and i read it and, i got into DG!!! i was so freaking excited, i just jumped up and everything flew off my lap. I couldn't even believe it, it was such a surreal feeling. The one house i wanted soo freaking bad, i got into. I was freaking out soo much , i just ran up to all the other girls who made it into DG as well, we were all just going crazy. So,all the actives took us down to the house and they taught us their song, so we were singing all the way there. I was just in complete shock. When we got to the house all the other actives greeted us and gave us our Bid Day t-shirts, which might i add are soo freaking cute. We all then went down to some stairs and took a bunch of pictures. Then we all got kidnapped and we went up to some girls cabin like 45 mins away. It was beautiful and soo freakin big. So the whole night all the DG’s just hung out and we danced the night away, haha. It was honestly the most fun thing ever. All the DG’s are soo crazy, it was gt gt... We didn't end up going to bed until like 4 am. I was sooo tired but it was so worth it.
Tonight all the frats were having parties and so everyone met at the DG house first and then went out to dinner. OMG dinner was so freaking good. We went to this place that totally reminded me of Freebirds, it made me miss home soo bad but i was just stoked to get good food for once. After we got back from dinner we all went over to the Beta house. I absolutely hate the Beta house, it is soo horrible. We like walked through and met everyone and i just felt like all the actives just wanted to show us off, it sucked. Whenever i walk into the Beta house i feel so dirty, like i shouldn't be there...i just hate it there. So finally we left and we went into town to the Wells Fargo building (on of the biggest buildings in SLC) where Sigma Chi was having a fat party. They rented out the 23rd floor of this building, had a DG and everything. It was such a blast! Only Sigs were allowed in and all the sororities, but no other guys were allowed. But, that was fine bc there are soo many freaking Sigs, like 150. So, anyway the party was a blast...we just danced the whole night. When ACDC, You Rock Me All Night Long came on all the DG’s just like rocked out, it was the most fun thing ever. The Pi Phi’s think its their song, but its totally ours...so there is a big rivalry, haha.
After hanging out at the party for a few hours Lauren and i went to hang out with one of our pledge sisters and we ate her food, bc we are starving college students, haha.
The next day was Sunday and i was soo freaking stupid, but i didn't go to church again bc it was way too early. I felt so bad but i was just sooo tired, there was no way i could do it. I have only been to my ward once up here, i feel so bad...man oh man. I thought being in Utah would strengthen me but so far it has just made me worse...
Day 1: Today we went around to all 6 houses and talked and met with the girls to see what they were all about. It was 7 freaking hours, but it was so much fun.
