That's not going to fly either with me or our GP. Even when there is undeniable just cause that's not an enjoyable conversation when our GP calls -- and she will. Actually, I'd probably call her first. I've had it happen before, though not with a GP but other members of Grand Council.

I don't think it mattered about the rec. This sorority was HUGE on campus and had the pick of the litter. I begged my mom to not ever mention it to her, and my Mom didn't and when the dreaded questions about what sorority I did pledge came about when home for Christmas break I spun a tale making it sound like *I* made the choice not to join any sorority.
My only point in bringing up this 15 year old wound is hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. No one really ever talked to me about not getting accepted.
I also hope that other current sorority girls think about looking past the superficial. Looks fade (check out some of your alums) and you won't all be model thin, dewey skinned and tanned forever.
For those wondering, I changed school after the first year and went to a school where Greeks were still prominent but never wanted to risk that heart break again.
