You know, I have to say I am dissapointed in some of the people posting on here. I'm not going to name any names...but think about some of the things you have said. If I weren't already a member, some of the comments that have been made on this board would totally turn me off, and confirm the "stereotype" that greeks are snobby and think they are better than anybody else.
While we may hold ourselves to higher standards, I think it's really rude to lash out at TheBest because she used a term such as "my future sisters". As she also stated, she hasnt been exposed to greek life, HOW was she supposed to know that it could be seen as offensive???? She gave a perfectly reasonable explanation for why she used the term, and some people STILL attacked her. NO WONDER that people who are anti-greek have such strong feelings.
TheBest - I wish you the best (no pun intended)of luck in your search. I am 100% glad that I made the decision I did (even though, as I stated earlier, I'm the oldest in my chapter by 2.5 years) and I think it's a good thing to do. Keep in mind that some of the other posters are correct - it is mutual selection, and at some larger schools, they only take you if you're a freshman. I'm personally glad thats why I DONT go to a larger school - I would hate to think I was being purposely discriminated against because of my choice to go into the military aftrer high school, rather than going straight to college, and therefore was older - but that's my own two cents worth. Good luck, and come back to let us know how it goes - even if you choose to go with another organization than AZD.
