Hi Tara! Please go ahead and go through formal recruitment, then follow your heart. The last thing that you would want is to not even try and then regret it. Trust me, I know!
As a high school senior I was advised by a fraternity friend to wait until my sophomore year to go through recruitment. Not knowing any better, I took his advice. (My school would take sophomores in recruitment, so that wouldn't have been a problem.) My freshman year in the dorms some of my neighbors were greek, and they were catty, rude, and used to talk behind their sisters' backs all the time. I saw the behavior of these few women and decided not to even try recruitment the next year. Of course, as college progressed I met so many wonderful greek women who were nothing like that, and now, six years later I am pursuing alumna initiation. And I truly regret letting the actions of a few change my mind.
I know our situations aren't the same, but I would definately recommend you at least try. In my life I have rarely regretted the things that I have tried, but I have regretted the things that I haven't tried.
