It was the most stressful week. I could not sleep, I could not focus on anything other than the fact I may be running home in a few days! I researched all of the sororities but when I walked into the room, all of the research quickly went away. I walked into each of the rooms with an open mind and with the thought that I may be walking into my future home with all of my sisters.
The first group I had visited, I quickly felt this sense of relief wash over me. I spent thirty minutes in that room but it truly felt like I was in there for five. I left and my face hurt so bad from smiling so much.
The next day, I visited them again. I had talked to such beautiful souls and I truly did not want the conversations to end. What was forty-five minutes had felt like ten. Instantly, I knew that was where I wanted to spend my college years.
The last day, I visited the same group again, I loved talking to each and every one of the girls. I wanted to call this sorority my home, these girls my sisters, and their philanthropy mine, too.
I went home that night and I prayed. I could not sleep not knowing if that was actually going to be my home or if I was going to call another one my home. But I had told myself, "what is meant to be, will be."
Bid day... oh, the day every girl going through recruitment is excited for!
I remember opening my bid day card and wanting to jump up and down screaming, these girls were officially my sisters. This was my home.
I never run but boy, did I run home that day!!
