Aww, I'm sorry to hear about your decision, but you definitely had to make the one that was right for you. And you seem ok with your decision, which is a really good thing. Honestly, it really is better to not be Greek than to be in an organization where you don't feel you fit.

Should the re-colonization rumors prove to be true though, go for it! It's an incredibly rewarding experience to help build a chapter up from the ground, and it's amazing to look back at what you've built at the time of your graduation, and probably even more so later on in life!

I normally don't pay much attention to rush threads, but I have to say that you were definitely my favorite this season. Maybe it's because I know what you're going through with your dad, I don't know. Based on what you've shared with us, I admire you for your strength.

If recolonization takes place (and many are crossing our fingers that it does! ;) ), please do keep us updated should you decide to pursue it.

Best of luck to you, and please do stick around! You don't need letters here to participate!

^^^ Seconded. I've been [kinda] where you are and don't know that I could have done it. My condolences. I'm glad SIFE is going great for you and hope we continue to hear from you.

A small addendum - I was in the elevator going to see a friend in another res hall, and a girl I had spoken to in one of the houses that I was cut from (which house I will keep quiet out of respect for her) entered. She waited a moment in elevator silence and turned to me and said "Just so you know, I fought for you." I smiled and thanked her and said that I was flattered. If nothing else, I guess it means I'm actually pretty spiffy.

Oh, you are, sweetikins, you ARE!
May God give you strength. Looks like He already gave you wisdom!;)
Hugs!:D

xrachie, my heart goes out to you and I admire you so much for taking a chance on this through such a difficult time. I hope recolonization happens because I think with your experience (especially in SIFE - several of my girls are in that and I know the work it entails) you could be such an amazing leader through that process!

My best to you and your family - you're in my prayers!

sife is so crazy!!! it would be difficult to be in a sorority too!!! good luck with everything and what a winner you are!!!:D
