So the reason it’s terrifying, first of all, is that there is about 1,800 PNMs (potential new members) coming through our floor at the beginning of recruitment. Literally SO overwhelming.
Anyway.
My big and I are literally a match made in heaven. Like the ones you see on pinterest and you’re like GOALS.
No, seriously, it was love at first Bid Day.
Bid Day 2015: I saw Alpha Delta Pi on my card sitting in Alumni Hall and proceeded to let out that high pitched squeal that every other girl did. I honestly doubt there was anyone at Penn State that didn’t hear it.
We then all DEAD SPRINTED to Old Main lawn to find our new homes.
I saw those glorious, perfect letters, bobbing across the top of a sea of sorority girls and half sprinted, half skipped (literally idk) over to my new family.
Actual panic—I couldn’t find my name, like anywhere. So. Many. Girls. So. Many. Names. OMG THERE IT IS. The girl holding my diamond (pause, hair flip) picked me up and swung me in a circle, like chick flick romance movie style. She literally wouldn’t stop hugging me and laughing and being so genuinely excited, I don’t think I’ve ever felt more at home.
So fast forward through endless coffee, gossip girl and Chinese food dates we are literally inseparable. Like I went to see my southern belle in Nashville over spring break because it too long being apart.
So basically I'm wondering how on EARTH am I going to find a little that fits perfectly into the fam?? Are my expectations too high? Am I going to get along with her like I do with my ~flawless~ big? Are we going to be just another okay pairing?
Like I said, terrifying but also exciting because literally any of those 1,800 girls could be the one.
Being a Jersey Girl to the core, it doesn’t make sense that my person is a sweet southern belle but somehow it works perfectly and we’re like Blair and Serena. (But without the high-stakes drama). So if that combination works, I’ll find someone, right?? Right??
It’s like serious girl dating. I feel like a bachelorette.
The worst part is that I just have to wait through the excruciatingly long recruitment process (it’s literally only 10 days) to see if fate blessed me with the perfect little like I was blessed with the perfect big. So we'll see if a fantastic potential little graces me with her presence, and I'll try not to get my heart broken too many times in the recruitment process.
