Here is a suggestion for RCB:
Go out and do some service work. Volunteer at a local food bank, a soup kitchen, a church that provides assistance to the homeless, a shelter for children who have been abused by their parents, a hospital pediatric ward for cancer patients, a nursing home. The list of meaningful volunteer opportunities is endless.
Do this for 12 weeks, consecutive, same time, same day. You've already taken your entrance exams, been admitted to college, you're just wrapping up the last few weeks of high school. You have time.
Here's the catch: you do not get to tell anyone what you are doing, other than your parents. No bragging, no tooting your own horn; it's not truly service work if you're advertising how wonderful you are while doing it. You simply go give back to your community, and the world, a little of what has been given to you.
Then, please come back and talk with us about what is truly important. I am willing to wager that you are going to be a completely different person and have a totally fresh perspective on the idea of becoming a member of a greek organization. And I predict that you're going to be a lot happier.
If not, you will be the first lost cause I've ever encountered. But I am betting that you won't let yourself, or us, down.
