hm, regrets...well i don't know. i don't think i have any. and before all of you go crazy on me for saying that let me just say, that what was shown was me. the person i was before and during this experience is what is shown, and i do not regret being me. i made choices, and some might not have been the most agreeable choices, but in the end everything worked out for the best.
i used the term crossing because a good friend of mine is in a pre-med sorority and that is what she calls it. so it just kinda stuck in my mind. i think it sounds a little nicer than "initiated" which for whatever reason has some weird conotations in my mind. i don't know why.
as far as joining another sorority...i just don't know. you know, when i was a freshman i was on the gymnastics team and it was just like a sorority. rituals and bonds and sisterhood. so i didn't feel like i needed to pledge. i think that without that, maybe a national sorority would have been good for me! but sigma was and is just not for me. if i were younger, i don't know if i would pledge again. as i am really really old to be pledging in the first place, i won't do it again in the fall.
i am not bitter towards all sororities or greeks or anything like that. i think many of these organizations obviously benefit their members. all of my roommates the whole time in college have been sorority members. i think that for a lot of people there is a great benefit, it's social, it's community based, it's sincere and wonderful. i think having one bad experience can't turn you against everyone or everything. i am a little bitter about what happened because i was denied a chance based on who i became friends with, which is really unfair. but i don't hold this against all other groups.
