Hi, I just wanted to give somewhat of an update on my decisions for those who care or have an interest, not that I'm full of myself and think people actually do happen to care lol but for those interest, here it is. I've thought long & hard about going through with sorority recruitment at the University of Alabama or my other top choices of schools which were Texas Christian, University of Arkansas and Southern Methodist, and the another choice I didn't get accepted into
lol but, I won't go through with recruitment.
I really do want to stay somewhere in the south, close enough, yet far away enough from home. The south itself is not racist nor are the people, but the culture of southern sororities just isn't in my reach, in a way. It's nearly impossible to say why someone at Alabama or another competitive school would get cut, cause it's hundreds of girls with similar resumes and backgrounds, but, if race is indeed one of the biggest obstacles [that I can't change], then I rather just float around for the next 4 years or so. It'd be nice if I could change the obstacle, something like weight or not being involved enough, but, that's life I suppose. Life isn't meant to be fair for all and unfortunately for me, this is one of those cases. I also do not want to base where I go to college on Greek life and whether I'd be accepted, because I felt comfortable during all college visits, but 1(the one that rejected me), so I know there will be other outlets and organizations for me, I will just have to drift toward them or find them myself! In another life, maybe where race had not been a big deal or if I was white, I would go through life. But, since that's not happening any time soon, I shall take life for what it is and what is thrown at me.
Anyways, I thank you all for taking the time to read my thread and reply. Thanks!
