Anna Jill - Love at first sight!

I did not want to go through recruitment when I got here.  I had signed up in the summer on a whim and then I hung out with my best guy friend all of the first week and thought that I didn't need to go through.  I told my parents that I would go because I spent the money and would just drop the process without joining.  I was so wrong.  I got to recruitment and I immediately made friends with some of the girls in my group.  I was meeting more people in recruitment than I had in my whole first week of school!  Then the house tours started; all of the houses were cute and the girls were so nice.  But then I went to my chapter and I really fell in love.  Everything about it made me want to come back every single day.  I knew that if I was going to stick to this Sorority Life thing, I belonged there.  I went through the rest of Formal Recruitment with a huge smile on my face.  The community as a whole was so cool and I could always tell that everyone in the chapters loved it.  For me, there was one chapter that always stood out in every round and I was all for it.  My decision wavered a little with the financial commitment because I would be paying for it on my own. The finances were broken down for me by a Rho Gamma, and I discovered that it was really manageable to pay for it by myself.  After that, I had an easy decision in front of me.  It's wasn't like that for a lot of my friends who went through.  When I got my bid, I couldn't have been happier!  In my experience here, it has become more about the community than the chapter and I'm still happier than ever.  I don't think I would have found better friends than the ones I made here. I would go through again in a heartbeat if I was given the chance!
