Twas The Night Before Squeal Day

General rush is great. But after the long days and nights are over, celebrating squeal day with the newest pledge class is the icing on the cake. A lot of thoughts and emotions run through your head before the actual day arrives, which can make the night before squeal day just as stressful as the weeks leading up to it. 

Twas the night before bid day, and all through the house

Every sister was stirring, owl and mouse.

 

The pref cards were turned in to the council with care

In the hopes that a new pledge class soon would be there.

anxiously praying as you crawl into bed

 

because you know a new and exciting journey is ahead.

Rush chairs breathe a sigh of relief

While now the new member chairs start dealing with grief.

I bet your feet hurt from wearing high heels

But at least for a week you had calves of steel.

Exhaustion sets in toward the end of the day

And you try to remember, "what did I even say?"

Meanwhile some pledges are too excited to dream

But you, on the other hand, have run out of steam.

Was the skit funny? Did anyone laugh?

At least Insta got some cute photographs.

Finally pref day ended the week

You're so excited, you can hardly speak!

T-shirts and presents and parties galore

Tomorrow you meet the new pledges you've been waiting for!

The new member coordinator is ready to go

And you're so excited to put on an elaborate show.

As you lay down to sleep after long weeks of rounds,

You can almost here the exciting sounds.

“We can’t wait to know you!” “We love you!” and “Welcome home!”

The nerves settle in, but deep down you know,

The best pledge class ever will arrive tomorrow!

Ready for sleep, you call out and say,

SEE YOU ON SQUEAL DAY!!!!

 

  

A mouse, a sweetheart, a owl, a elephant, a fox, what will I be? We'll just have to wait until Squeal Day to see!
