Hi, I'm PhotoBug! I'm a 40-year-old female military veteran who got a late start in college (years ago) and had to take some time off along the way due to health issues. I persevered and eventually earned my Bachelor of Science degree in 2000. However, by the time I became a college sophomore and was eligible to pursue membership in an NPHC organization, I was already 27 years old and married. My priorities at the time were on my new marriage and future family, and it didn't help that the school I attended was literally in the middle of nowhere and didn't have any NPHC organizations.
I joined GreekChat to learn about greek life as part of my investigation into whether or not joining a sorority is something that I should pursue at my age. I've pretty much accomplished everything I ever set out to do - except sorority membership. Life happens, and you do what you need to do at the time, and I did. However, now I'm at a point in my life where I think it's the right time for me to revisit sorority membership and investigate my options.
NPHC sororities are really all I have any idea about, but I'm not opposed to joining a non-NPHC sorority or a community sorority. I've even thought about starting one for "late comers" like myself, but I'd much rather join an existing organization.
Besides my interest in greek life, I am a photography buff. You smart people have no doubt figured that out by now being that my username is a dead giveaway.
I'm looking forward to having a positive experience on GreekChat, and I hope to never cut any of you (especially the longtime members) the wrong way. I've seen how you deal with people who go wrong, and I don't want that to be me.
My best to all.
