I thank the lucky stars that I stuck to my guns freshman year after receiving a bid to a place I really didn't feel comfortable. I came from a tiny town and a tiny prep school full of nerdy kids and the place I received a bid was a little to "wild" to me and to this day, after getting to know some of the lovely girls better, I still think they are too wild for me! I also remember telling my mother that if I was too embarrassed to wear a sorority's letters for WHATEVER reason (and this came up from every end of the spectrum in my very stereotyped small town mind) that I had no place taking a spot from a girl that would be proud to call herself an XYZ.
I also thank my lucky stars I was so involved in community service already after freshman year that when I found out about GSS I realized it was the prefect match for me. I will always wonder what it would be like to be in a more "recognized" sorority but at the same time it wouldn't be home. I love my sisters and they love me.
Funny story about that, 4 of the girls in my Pi Chi group pledged with me. We had been friends and experienced similar recruitments, all got bids to places we really didn't feel right with and all ended up together in the end!
