I thought me laying my plight down in front of you would demonstrate at least that I need advice (which is an admission of ignorance/naivite). It seems that I would have to talk to you in person for you to begin to understand me in the way that people who know me already do.
MysticCat: on the use of the term "soror", I did note that only a certain type of girl used the term. Thank you for providing clarification on this. As far as my location: I don't think that I realized that a school can be known so easily by the sororities on its campus. I cannot name any schools based on that criterion. On my demonstration of naivite: I think this entire thread is about me naivite and being "green" as far as this whole process goes. I am naive and in need of advice. Can anyone tell me how I might deal with my situation if I wanted to press forward?
Myopicsunflower on elitism: I am not the one to define elitism. However, I have learned that when one is born into a certain position, one has to learn to have a sense of duty towards god, family and country. I think that the burden of being "elite" in any sense is the realization that one just can't take pride in one's own circumstance. One has the duty to aid, ameliorate and guard the society that made one's life possible. In that sense the people sacrificing their lives overseas so that people back home can bicker on this subject are the ones who are the most elite.
Can anyone tell me how I might deal with my situation if I wanted to press forward? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

What people are reading and responding to in your posts is not your "naivete;" it's your general refusal to use contractions. You sound like you're writing a formal essay, rather than asking the advice of a group of people who really would like to help.
Serious advice? Get in there and rush. (Or COB, if you don't want to or can't go through with the recruitment process.) You can always back out if you realize that it's not what you wanted. If it works, it will work, and if not, you'll find something else.
(sorry for the low postcount, y'all; I promise I lurk like no one's business.)
Also, many lols at the pledgepark referral.
ETA: Actually, given the thread title, I was expecting nothing but a trainwreck. |
