I am so sorry things didn't work out for you and I know how horrible you must feel because any kind of rejection isn't easy. I'm not sure if coming back to Greekchat is necessarily the best thing to help you move on.
I go to a very traditional campus with a well known and strong Greek life. Even if I didn't, I know a lot of sorority members at a wide range of schools and I have to say it would be really awkward to have someone your age as a sister no matter where I went to school. You said in your early post that you are in your late 20s and you are already a junior. That would make you 30ish by your final year and you would only have two years to bond. Even though you are still in college, you're living in an entirely different place. You know what you said about the college bars? Well that's sort of what it would be like for you at mixers and other social events, just as awkward for you as it would to have you around. You seem old to someone my age. I don't mean that in a mean sense or that there's anything wrong with your age, it's just perspective. I wouldn't want to hang out socially with my own younger real sisters either.
Honestly even though philanthropy and all the other things that are talked about here are an important aspect of who we are, it's not really the biggest part of it. We're social and most importantly we're looking for others who will fit in with our individual chapter personality. I think everyone has been right in suggesting other outlets for social and philanthropy both on and off campus. You probably need to get involved with something else to take you mind off all of this.
