You've got to put yourself out there - rejection is tough, but when you apply for a job, go on a first date, or any one of a hundred other worthwhile ventures, you have to risk it. Colonization could be an incredible experience for you - the WORST that could happen is they say no - and as you know, life goes on after "no". On the other hand, they could say YES - and you could be part of an amazing sisterhood. I say, go for it! As I look back on my life, there are only a few things I regret doing, but LOTS of opportunities I wish I had not let slip by. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined ".- Thoreau

Well, there's a kick in the butt
I want to thank you all for the advice and help you've given me...and now I have some more questions, LOL. I read in the school newspaper that organizations have been chosen to present, but I don't know any alumnae of the sororities that will be presenting, so I'm kind of worried about how I'll get a rec when Panhel does decide.
I honestly knew NOTHING about recruitment before I rushed last fall, so I have no idea about rec etiquette. But I'd like to talk to a member just to learn a little more about the sorority than the tangibles; I know I'd have the opportunity to ask questions during the interviews with national reps, but I feel like I should go into the interview with at least some sense of the organization. I guess it's that the interview process seems kind of serious to me, almost analogous to one of the days of rush AFTER the first day, when you go in with no clue what the chapter is about, besides what you've heard, so I should be entering an interview with more preparation than I did the first day of rush. Does that make sense? And even if it does, am I totally off base?
