- Bid Day
- Bid day was one of the greatest days because I was finally able to represent Chi O in that Cardinal and Straw! I remember waiting in a Hughes-Trigg ballroom for the Rho Gammas to hand out the bid cards, hoping that nothing went wrong and that I would be running to Chi O in a few short moments. We were handed our sealed envelopes with our sorority fate inside, and on the count of three, the whole room ripped their envelopes to shreds, eager to see what was inside. When I saw that I was officially a Chi Omega, I was beyond excited. I sprinted as fast as I could to my new home in my red Tom's (appropriately unplanned). Celebrating on the lawn of the house was so much fun, and I remember feeling so blessed and special to have been accepted into such an awesome sisterhood!
- Big/Little (I get my big)
- The anticipation to find out my big during big/little week 2012 was killing me! While I loved all of the older girls that I had met, I had my sights set on one girl to be my big. I especially looked up to her, and we got along so well that it seemed to me that it was meant to be! After a week of receiving a plethora of gifts and food, it was time for the big/little reveal night where I would finally get to know who was the one spoiling me all week! We walked into a Maggiano's ballroom where each older girl was standing with her Chi O family in their matching family jerseys. We made our way over to our name cards, and we were told to rip the wrapped gift open on the count of three. Inside was a wrapped photo of us and our bigs, along with our very own family jersey. I was beyond thrilled to see that I got the girl I wanted! We celebrated all night and even got to ride a mechanical bull.
- Big/Little (I get my little)
- Getting my littles was one of the most fun and rewarding processes. Although it took a lot of work, money, and preparation, the end result was so worth it! I spent the whole week crafting and buying presents for each of them and spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to make it seem as if they were not twins so the surprise would not be spoiled. Seeing the genuine gratification for everything I had done for them along with their joy that I was their big made me so happy! I am so grateful to have two extra special little ones.
- Mixer Season 2012
- Mixer season 2012 was some of the best bonding I had with my pledge class. It was so much fun to get to meet people from all fraternities and to go out with all of my new sisters. Since I pledged Chi O without knowing a single other person in my grade that went Chi O too, I was so glad that I got an opportunity to meet the other girls in a social and casual setting. Some of my best friends now are those that I got to know from going out to mixers!
- Living in the House
- I know this technically is not a moment, but it is certainly one of my favorite parts about Chi O! Living in the house has helped me get to know people of all ages who I might not have gotten to know well otherwise. It is so much fun living in a house with 37 of my closest friends. It is awesome being right in the center of everything that goes on in Chi O. I love being able to eat all meals and hang out all the time with my sisters. One thing that I especially appreciate about the house is the new friendships it has brought to me. I am now best friends with my roommate and suite mate, and I don't know how close we would be if we never lived together. I also get to live with my cousin who is graduating this year. Being able to spend her last year living under the same roof has been incredible!
XO love and mine,
Kat
