On one hand, I really want to go to school in the South. I have for a while now and I think that if I didn't, I would regret it. College is not something that you can just go back and do over. It's four years of your life that you will remember forever, you know what I mean? I'm sure I'd get a good education and have a good time here in WA but I think I will always regret not going to a Southern school.
On the other hand, sorority membership is something that I want very badly as well. I'm sure I could pick somewhere else and go to school there, as well as be 99% certain I could get a bid, but then how would I feel about "selling out" (for major lack of a better term) just so that I can be in a sorority?
Then, when I think about it like that, I wonder just how happy I would be at a southern school if I weren't in a sorority.
Meh. I am conflicted. But I am definitely 90% that in the end my decision will be to go down south and go through with it, if for nothing else than to know that I actually tried and put my best foot forward. I'd much rather try and fail than never try and wonder "what if" 20 years from now.

Sorry of this was already addressed, but I didn't have a chance to read the whole thread. If you are considering a different southern university in order to increase your chances at sorority membership, you may keep in mind that while Ole Miss is probably
the most competitive Greek Life school, pretty much every
major university in the south has similar attitudes towards Greek Life. Your chances of getting a bid wouldn't go up much by choosing a different SEC school.
