But I went through recruitment and I had a LOT of fun and it was such a great experience that I'd do it again and take the criticism tenfold. My whole mindset was that I'm doing this for myself, not for my mom or anyone else.
And MysticCat, maybe she's from one of those really close knit communities where your neighbors might as well be extended family?
Anyway, I think you should go for it.

Right now, that's what my mindset is. I've always wanted to do this, but never said anything to anyone because the community I grew up in just.. wasn't Greek at all. I didn't know anyone who was involved with this.
