"I didn't get back the one I wanted," she silently mumbled, with tears filling in her bright, blue eyes. "I don't know what I'll do now! That was my favorite sorority!" Eyes gazing upon the room, I see girls crying, laughing, some in complete shock of the results that came back from recruitment the night before. I was scared to open mine, anxious to see what could of happened next. Would I be sitting in tears like some of them, crying and wishing I could just go home? Or would my heart be filled with joy, knowing I was one step closer to becoming a part of the sorority I loved most? Hands shaking, thoughts flying through my mind, I felt as if I were on a trial for murder, so scared and anxious and deeply desiring knowing my future fate. My hands clenched the small white, folded piece of paper and I slowly opened it, with eyes closed before I was prepared enough to open them to peer onto the three sororities I was going to see that night for preference rounds. The first, WHEW! I like them. The second, oh no... I don't fit in there. My heart started to panic. Is this really happening? Then, my last choice... my heart lifted with joy! Chi Omega! My favorite! I couldn't help but feel a smile on my face while I was sitting with hundreds of other girls around me, getting these same notes, finding out the three they had to choose from for preference rounds, one of the three sororities we would soon be joining. I saw other girls smiling, I knew they would be happy in their choices too. However, I think the reason I still felt sadness, I still couldn't be fully happy is because I looked around the room of sad girls faces and knew that that could have been me.
