Joining Greek Life has always been a dream of mine and as soon as I decided to go to the University of Oklahoma I signed up for Rush, not knowing how much it was going to impact me and introduce me to lifelong friends.
BID DAY
Bid day was in the Fall of 2022 right before classes started at OU. It was a stressful day but also relaxing, knowing that rush was over and now it all came down to the bid card that would be delivered to my dorm. When we got the knock on our door that the bids had arrived, my roommates and I ripped our cards open and all of them said “Kappa Kappa Gamma”!
We ran to the Kappa lawn that was crowded with current Kappa members, parents, fraternity boys and more. I ran to Kappas arms that had rushed me throughout the week, happy with my decision to go Kappa and knowing that this was going to be the best four years.
Living in the House
Living in the Kappa house has been such a cool experience. I have grown deeper connections and relationships with the girls in my pledge class. Something I love so much about the girls in Kappa is that everyone is very genuine and inviting. I have one roommate that I share a room with and it has been so fun experiencing living in the same room as someone. We share clothes, get ready together, and our friendship has grown stronger from it. I will miss living in the house but am excited for the next two years to come as a member of Kappa in college.
Date Parties
Kappa date parties feel like a holiday. The entire day is planned out for them and they can start as early as 3p.m to begin getting ready and taking pictures. Then every member and their dates check-in and take a bus to a venue that the chapter has rented out for us that usually has to do with the theme of the party. Kappa Date parties have been so much fun so far and have been a great way to get to know girls in my sorority better.
There are many other reasons as to why I chose to go Kappa but these are just a few of my favorite reasons. Kappa truly brings you to your best friends, whether you knew them before going to college or they were thousands of miles away. I am so glad I joined Kappa and I cannot wait for more memories to come!
