What should i do?
 

Hi all-

I am going through formal recruitment in 2 weeks at the university of tampa. I wanted to know if this sounded pretentious or not. I know at one point or another I am going to be asked why i decided i wanted to be in a sorority i just wanted to know if you all thought this sounded like a good answer because its honestly why i want to be in a sorority!

I attended a small all girls high school. There were 52 of us in my class and we bonded so much of the years and essentially became a family. I love the fact that we still do class emails back and forth to each other and I want to find another home away from home at UT. I've always known I wanted to be in a sorority. Bonding with the girls in my grade allowed me to see a little glimpse of how that would be.

I truly feel like this but i don't want to sound like i made it up. Your thoughts are appreciated.

i think your example was lovely, well thought out and sincere.

I'm swerving out of my lane here, but I like your answer. Actually, one of the reasons I pursued sorority membership is because I had always been involved in activities for girls since childhood and it made a positive impact on my life. If an interested woman gave me the answer you gave, I would find it much more genuine than some of the other responses I've heard over the years. :)

I love your answer! I don't think it seems pretentious at all.

It's perfect!

Your answer will serve the rusher a good segway into what makes a good friend. It might allow the chapter to learn more about your personal qualities that could make you a valuable sister.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful replies it truly means a lot!
