aww well my thread isn't as lively as i hoped it would be...i guess i'll give a few days worth of updates

Later my freshman year…
Soon after formal recruitment, the Phillies sent me invitations for informal recruitment. At that point, I was really not interested, so I declined all invites. My roommate finished formal recruitment and she accepted a bid from Nationals. All through the year, I could see just how much she loved her sorority, and how much fun he was having. This made me start to regret my decision to drop out so soon. Well, I thought, there’s nothing I can do about this now. I mean, it wasn’t the end of the world: I was loving the time I was having at my school, I made some good friends, my dad was making a full recovery, and I was WAY over the ex, especially thanks to a new boy But I still I had felt as though something was missing…

Fall 2007, Sophomore year
Sophomore year came quickly, and I was happy to be back at school. Over the summer, I had been toying with the idea of rushing again. I mean just because I would be a sophomore didn’t mean I couldn’t rush, right? I mean I knew that being a sophomore would hurt, (like I said, rush is competitive here!) and my GPA wasn’t fantastic, (that first stressed out semester of college left me with a 2.5 GPA after first semester and 2.9 after the first full year…so sophomore year I KNEW I had to bring it up!). But I thought to myself that if I didn’t try, I would always regret it, not knowing what could have been. I had to go for it, and a few days before rush, I signed up…

Day 1 (again…)
So there I was, at the orientation again. I felt a little out of place because I didn’t see any familiar faces. I could tell most of the girls near me were freshmen by their conversations. The little presentation at the orientation was basically the same… there was a slide show running about all of the chapters, and then someone from Panhellenic spoke, then we would split into our groups and meet our Gamma Chis… you know, that whole thing! However, one thing caught my attention during this years orientation. They announced that starting Fall ’08 there would be a new chapter, the White Sox, colonizing on campus. Wow, 20 chapters?! This made me really want to be a part of my school’s huge Greek system!

We split into our Gamma Chi groups once more, and I was so excited to see a girl I knew! She was a friend of a friend, who I had met once or twice, but she’s a really nice girl, so I was so happy to find out she was going to be in my group! I left the meeting super anxious to get started with recruitment! I told myself, that no matter what, this time just stick it out to the end.




maybe i'll post later again... i'm just really excited to tell my story!! lol

ps....i realize some of these details will very much give away the story... again i dont really mind TOO much if you figure it out, but just keep it to yourself til i'm done! gracias!
