okay...all i have to say is that if zta doesn't want you only because you waited to rush, i personally don't think you should want to be a part of their organization. i agree that if they want you now, they should still want you later
i personally think you should wait, it is a lifelong decision and you need to be completely sure that is what you want to do. i have seen too many people rush into it head first and then eventually dropping out only to wait until the next year and pledge a different sorority( one they decided would be best for them) good luck!!
