Hi all,
I actually got this message from the President of the UTEP chapter of NSCS:

Hello epchick,
You are already in NSCS now. The induction ceremony is just that, a ceremony. It’s only the formal part of it. You can receive your member card at our next general meeting (yet to be scheduled). If you can’t make it, don’t worry about. It’s not like we’re going to kick you out (you’re not the only one who has schedule conflicts), so need to worry.

So yay! I'm in the clear now. I'm still kinda mift that the Greek Life office never contacted me back about this situation, but i guess that is understandable with what's about to happen (Rush).

Now the only thing to worry about is me! lol. I continually get those feelings of "YES I WANT TO BE GREEK" and then other times (mostly when i'm with my family, lounging around watching movies with my cousins and stuff like that) that make me feel like I dont want to give all that up--especially since I want to continue in my dance class. But a girl i grew up with (who went greek at UTEP) told me that shouldn't be a problem. That there might be times when those things conflict, but for the most part I'll still be able to go to dance class, and i'll still have as much time to spend with my family as ever.

All I know is that if I let my dance class (which i know i wont continue forever) or let my cousins (who i'll still have forever) get in "my way" (for a lack of better terminology) i won't be too happy. This is something that i've looked forward to since I was younger. Lol..don't I sound sappy? lol. So now I'm just ready for tomorrow to come!!

I have orientation tomorrow @4, and this year's rush is shorter, so I wonder if they are going to be combining days, or just eliminating some events. I guess we'll see tomorrow! keep ur fingers crossed guys!!
