I have a couple of questions and concerns.

So, the main thing I am worried about is if I am going to get a bid. I am at home taking a break from school, I'm taking classes to raise my GPA, but I will be considered a Sophomore on my return, and it will be at Kansas State University, and is being an upperclassman really a big deal? I have a lot of community service experience, an amazing 'resume', and I like being part of something. I know a lot of girls in sororities who I am on very good terms with. Everyone always asks me why am I not in a sorority, even some of the girls in sororities tell me I should join and I would fit right in. For the girls I am not on good terms with, will that hurt my chances? Since I am taking a year off I have a lot of time to get myself together, raise my grades and clean up before returning, because I had a big party girl image during Freshmen year, but it wasn't a bad one where people go "there's that one girl who sleeps around", or "there's that alcoholic chick".

Sorry for the long questions and what not! I am mostly concerned with not getting a bid, because I have officially become very interested in Greek life and am really trying to change things to be successful.

Thank you.

We can't say for sure whether you'll get a bid or not because we don't know.

The girls who don't like you may affect your chances, or they may not.

As far as your reputation, what's done is done and the good thing is that you're different now. People might judge you based on the past, but there is nothing you can do about it.

I tend to think that you have nothing to lose by trying. You never know.

As far as Kansas recriutment goes, I dug up this in a search and it might help you:
