Here's a different "what if"

*What if I hadn't transferred schools the quarter after pledging ZTA?

As some of you who follow the AI board know... I was a very serious athlete during my high school and college years. While competing in the nationals, I was offered a scholarship and a chance to train with the best athletes in my sport in the country IF I transferred.

I decided to follow my Olympic dream... and had to sacrifice sorority life because the University where I transferred to-- didn't have a ZTA chapter.

I'm now happy to report that after two decades of being a pledge (I never depledged) I have now been initiated in to ZTA. (I have to wonder if I hold the record of having the longest pledge period in history??!!)

And while I am just thrilled to FINALLY have "crossed over" after all these years... and yes, I really love being involved with my Alumnae chapter... I always wonder *what if* I had stayed where I was and had been initiated while in college.

Looking back, I think I really missed a lot, and sometimes it makes me sad. I was so busy training, that I didn't get to go to the "date nights" and "mixers"....But then, I think about all of the fantastic experiences I had while competing.

But still..... I can't help but wonder... what if.......
