This isn't sorority related, but one of the great regrets of my life is that I dropped a math class. Math is not my strongest subject and I had a huge lecture and a TA who couldn't speak English. We only had a couple of exams for the class and after the first one I was sure I didn't do well. I decided to drop the class since I didn't have to have it and I knew it would probably be a drag on my GPA.

Imagine the sick feeling in my stomach when it was time to graduate and I discovered I had met all the qualifications for Phi Beta Kappa - except taking that math class.

Even typing this I feel sick to my stomach over twenty years later. And I never knew what I got on that exam or if I might have at least made it through with a passing grade and been Phi Beta Kappa.

Ugh.
