My niece pledged Tri Delta last year and was in a similar situation. I think that she only missed a week at the end of the new member period and they initiated her when she got back to school in the Fall.

Sidebar: She must be outstanding. I am amazed she came back to school. Seriously. The Disney Intern program is notorious for turning bright and talented people into alcoholic drop outs who spend the rest of their days selling sno-cones at Magic Kingdom.

My youngest sister was in the college program. She came home to Iowa just fine (she went for the summer, not a semester or full year), but she had some crazy stories to tell. It was very similar to my work at Club Med immediately after graduation - lots of drugs and sex with anyone of either gender and general mayhem. They both have very cult-like corporate cultures and it really does suck some people in. And I'm so glad I didn't get sucked into all of it. I had friends die, get maimed and become drug addicts because of their appreciation of the "lifestyle."

oh wow that's amazing to hear! hopefully, I can do the same. How do you think I could make a suggestion about my case and in particular state how I could possibly be a great sister while I'm abroad and within my return.

Good luck with your Recruitment next January. I met some of the finest, and most fun, women in the world at the University of Miami Panhellenic Building.
