So did you have to drop out b/c you couldn't finish the other houses? I get that rush is important but hello that was an emergency and IMPO Panhellenic should have cut you some slack. Obviously, I can't control the houses, but if they knew about the emergency and liked you they should have cut you some slack also. Now this is my opinion and I understand that things don't work this way in the "panhellenic real world of recruitment".
I'm glad your horsey is okay. I love horses (I just don't have land for one or the money for one
)
