I have always viewed this "special week" as the beginning of growing up and seeing how life really is. You have to face fact that life will not always go your way. You have to rally through the bumps and then make choices. You may not like how the bumps hit you, but from there you must make your move.

It is really tough to be turned down from a sorority you may have wished to be a part of. IMO, it really is not a mutual decision. (well, maybe delayed mutual decision if that makes sense) I have always felt the sorority makes the first choice and welcomes the PNM and then the PNM makes her decisions from there. It is difficult as a PNM to face a rejection, but this is how life will be. We all know that.

I agree with UGAalum94 as well, it may not be the right spot (or the spot the PNM really wants), but it is a spot. The PNM then has the choice to decide what to make of it.

A PNM can only be all that they can be (and be themselves) and they must realize much is out of their control.
