Last week was the beginning of a process called pledging.. It involved 4 get together with the Sisters of Sigma Alpha Iota at Ball State University.
Yesterday the sisters voted on who to give a bid to. A bid is basically them saying we love, be our sister. In the moments before a meeting with the VP, to see if I recieved a bid. I was nervous, excited, scared, and worried all wrapped up into a feeling of comfort. No matter how that meeting went, God has already written the next chapter of my life.
Now the awkward part could be that I'm living with 3 other sisters next year so if I didn't get a bid.. well you can imagine how that is awkward.
Here goes!
As I walk up the stairs in MU from the coke lobby to the SAI Office thoughts race, doubt raises and I wonder.. did they like me?
I wander around the second floor looking for the room. I see Kari sitting in an office and my heart starts to race. She has me step in and sit down. "I have to do this with everyone" and she hands me an envelope.
I stuggle to open it. I open the top like a normal person but the cardstock is stuck inside. So excited and nervous, I just rip the envelope in half.
I got a bid.
From here on the rest of the week are various days and Thursday I turn in my bid to them to join. This is very exciting.. and there will be many more comments to come. But last week was so worth it.
