(hugs) You can make your mark on campus -- GeorgiaGreek really had some specific suggestions to help you get started. Sometimes when a disappointment presents as an obstacle, a new path opens that you will (eventually) be thankful you traveled.

You have good grades -- keep it up -- interview for honor societies, and even campus positions/organizations that seem a reach. You will not make everything, but every time you interview you will have more experience to draw upon (and you can try again). Involvement begets involvement. And one day when you are interviewing for a competitive graduate admission or a job (high-stakes situations where the rubber really meets the road), you will have a great story of disappointment and resilience to tell and write about. Your disappointment now -- and how you find your campus land legs moving forward -- may be what sets you apart in the future.

There are so many adventures and people to meet ahead -- remember that most people on campus are not Greek. Pour yourself into campus involvement, and decide later if you want to try again.

Go get 'em!
