Bid Day!
Before I get into this, I’m gonna give you some background information about my angel Pi Chi. When I went to get my packet and check in with my Pi Chi, I wasn’t paying attention to the names of my Pi Chi’s. But then my sister was like “oh, XYZ is your Pi Chi!” - it turned out that my Pi Chi texted her to say I was in her group. So I knew they knew each other, but my sister told me she wasn’t going to tell me what chapter she was in. Of course I originally was like “Oh, WCSS?” but then I figured she wouldn't have told me that she knew her if she was really in her chapter. Plus she has friends in other chapters. During open house rounds, we were talking amongst ourselves in our group and I said something about having a sister in a chapter. My Pi Chi was like “Oh, are you a legacy? Who is your sister?” so I told her and she’s like “Oh… did she live in XYZ dorm her freshman year? I think I know her” Of course I already knew they knew each other but I figured maybe they don’t know each other that well, which would mean they weren’t in the same chapter. But at the same time, she knew my sister well enough to text her, so it seemed suspicious that she acted like she didn’t really know her…
So when angel Pi Chi was handling me on sisterhood day, she slyly slipped in “Oh you should ask your sister, she knows more about her chapter’s legacy policy than I do.” But that only made me more suspicious because I thought she might be trying to trick me.
FAST FORWARD to bid day and the Pi Chi’s revealing themselves. Angel Pi Chi was in WCSS! I knew it!
After waiting for a billion years, we finally opened our bid cards and mine read…
WCSS!!
Our Pi Chi’s were standing at each end of our line. They had already seen the list (cruel!!) My angel Pi Chi was looking right at me and I ran immediately to her and hugged and screamed and jumped up and down! Then I ran over to WCSS (first one there, not quite sure how that happened since I stopped at my Pi Chi)
When my angel Pi Chi made her way over to the gathering she hugged me again and asked me if I knew. It turns out she was a WCSS legacy too! And the reason she had texted my sister was to find out if there was any chance I knew she was in WCSS. She tried really hard to convince me she wasn’t but I was always very suspicious! I’m so glad we ended up in the same chapter, along with 4 or 5 others from our Pi Chi group.
OH and did I mention WCSS is…
Sigma Kappa!
My best friend with the perfect recruitment joined Coed Elite. She told me she sort of expected us to end up in the same house since we’re so close –but the house she is in cut me the first day and I definitely wouldn’t fit in there. It’s a perfect fit for her and just goes to show that just because you’re great friends doesn’t mean you need to be in the same house.
My roommate (who’s become a good friend) didn’t participate in formal recruitment but later accepted a bid through informal recruitment to Senior Elite.
