I don't know if it was getting that first bid that made me over confident or what but, I can't stop thinking of all the different outcomes. I've been talking to my Mom throughout and she thinks that I'm crazy that I would want to put myself through formal rush when I've met girls in houses that I'd be happy with. I guess the reason why I'm struggling with this so much is that I want to join a house that I can be proud of. I want to meet girls that literally gush about how amazing they their house is and how much they love their sorority because that's how I want to be about the organization that I join. So maybe informal is giving me the wrong judgement of how much these girls actually care about their organization because it's more relaxed? I don't know.

So, the way in which other girls react/ feel about their sorority is going to dictate how you feel about it? You can be in a house that there are some girls who don't care much about being in because they are in tons of other campus activities but, you can be Suzy Sorority about it. Don't let others dictate how you feel about it. Think about your school. There are people who are going to think, "Oh wow! This is my top choice. My mom and dad are alumni of the university. My best friend came here with me. I love their colors and traditions. This place is great!" while other people may think, "This is my safety school but, at least I'm in college." Would you let those people dictate how you feel about your university? I hope not.
