Greetings Sorors and SFs,
I joined through an undergrad chapter...and like Soror 14dst01, I too was rejected twice. Anyway, it was very hard to accept the fact that I was rejected, but I didn't let those disappointments keep me from my goal of eventually becoming a member of DST. Actually, two of my best friends made line in 99 and I had to face them everyday, but I learned how to put a smile on my face and keep going with everything else that was going on in my life. I continued to support the chapter, by attending events and doing my community service w/ them, not because I wanted to get in good, but because I truly believed in the programs of the chapter. And even though it didn't seem like it at the time, I think my rejections were in my best interests because each time, things came up in my life that would have been impossible to deal with had I been on-line. And whew, when I finally did make it....OH What A Day! It was the time of my life and I wouldn't trade my LSs for the world!
Okay, to all ladies that were not chosen for membership, please remember not to give up on your dreams. Membership in a sorority is NOT promised to everyone, and you have to just continue with your life and submit the next time. I am a testimony that even if you are rejected once (and twice!) doesn't mean that you won't be a great asset when you are finally accepted. Also, if you didn't make it, please don't "HATE" on the ladies that did. They had nothing to do with the selection process, and THEY will be the ones to review your packet if/when you do decide to submit again!
To those who will be submitting in the spring, GOOD LUCK!
