This should give you some insight into the opportunity before you. Your house is your house, but the world your house is in, is the rest of us and it is a good world and never ends.

You will probably live to be over 80 years old, but you will get this chance just once in those 80 years. If you reject this, you may well spend 60 years regretting it.

As the two Alpha Xis have said, you have most of 2 semesters left as an active and then a lifetime as an alumnus. As a senior, you will set the tone for the house.

As LaneSig has said, you can help found the alumni chapter next year, so you know that you will still be connected after graduation. You may become or assist the chapter adviser. A working Alumni chapter is very important to a colony or new chapter, so you will stay very involved in your house.

Its not one semester, its your life.

Good luck with you decision.
Awesome advice and I'm so glad you followed it. I think I speak for the rest of GC when I say, we look forward to hearing about your colonization journey! Welcome to the Greek Community!
