Even an excused absence could mean the difference between getting a bid and nothing.
Understand that if you do get that precious bid, you may be in the same predicament. Are you constantly going to be required to choose between sorority participation and work? You are getting to be an adult and forced to make choices in your life. Choices have consequences. Be sure you consider what your priorities are. Time to put on the big girl panties!!  |
I wish there were "like" buttons on here because this is so on point. My first thought with the original post was "will she have time for membership and all it requires?".
I had sisters who had part-time jobs but somehow they always managed to arrange their hours to work so they didn't conflict with required activities. That's why I thought this PNM should see if she could delay starting the job (and of course then there's the question raised about whether the job will prevent her participation).
