Without a doubt, I chose the right sorority for me. Could I have ALSO been happy in other chapters at my campus? Absolutely. Including Sigma Kappa, I think I would have been a good fit in 4 or 5 of 14 chapters at Maryland (and those were chapters that wanted me).

Thing is, you don't get to experience what it is truly like to be a member of another chapter, even if you have a bunch of friends in XYZ, so you really don't know if the grass is greener, even though it might seem greener if you're bummed out about things. You don't know who your big and little would be, if other women would join that other chapter because of you, who you stay up til 2am watching food network with, who you would study with, if you would have a different exec position. It's a waste of time and energy to wonder. I believe at least 90% of your membership exeperience is what YOU make of it. You (for the most part) control how happy you are in your chapter.

I also really think Sigma Kappa fits me well on a national level. I'm proud of who we are throughout history and across the country. However, suppose I went to a school without a Sigma Kappa chapter, like Pitt. Obviously, I could not be a Sigma Kappa, but hopefully if I did, I would still be Greek. Or even if I did go to another school with Sigma Kappa, like Penn State or BU, I may or may not have ended up there. Sometimes it is fun to play the "what chapter would I be in if I went to your school" game with Greek friends from other schools, but it's never more than a fleeting wonder.
