My senior year of high school I knew I wanted to go greek. My second oldest cousin was a Sigma Kappa at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, and one of my other cousins was prepping for rush when I decided I wanted to join a sorority.

Coming from Massachusetts or really anything north of Virginia Greek life isn’t a big thing, some schools had local chapters that were only present at their school, and some universities had a few nationally recognized chapters, but it wasn’t very common. A complete 360 from what I’m currently going through at Ole Miss with 11 National Panhellenic Chapters on campus.

I had never heard of terms like Gamma Chi, or, PNM, or Suicide Bid, before I started here, but a lot of these girls had been prepping for rush since their junior year of high school, and if you asked a double legacy they've probably been set on their dream sisterhood since they were born. The thing that Brough us together was that we all wanted the same thing. A place to belong.

There are only two more days until bid day, and I think I'm as nervous as I was going in. Early in the week I saw my schedule shrink, and more girls started to not come back. I want more than anything to find my home away from home and to look back 4 years from now and think I found my sisters, and I found my best friends 1300 miles away from home. No matter what the outcome is I'm happy with how this week went and I hope to open my bid card on Sunday and run home to meet my new sisters.
