It's so true. I think especially in the millennial generation kids often are given some sort of tangible just for participating. Unfortunately in life and for many it's their first experience of hearing no or not getting the outcome they wanted.
I hope for the writer of the post as time provides some distance from this door closing that she will find something fulfilling in the hope that the rejection from her top choice won't hang over her.
One thing I couldn't help but think as I read the article was is that being in a sorority is well beyond the 4 years of college. She elected to opt out all together so I hope she doesn't look back later and wonder what if?
My mom alway would tell me things happen for a reason when things didn't go my way. And I hated that saying. But it wasn't until my mid-20's when what she said finally made sense. Since that time I'm grateful for that sage wisdom.
