I thought about going Greek when I was at Truman and just lived in the limbo of never really deciding if I wanted to join a sorority in the first place. (But I had decided that if I were to grace Greek life with my presence, I was in love with Sigma Kappa
) That was a whole lot of me being stupid. Woah, that makes it sound like I'm dissing Sigma K when I was really just saying I was being stupid since I never actually TRIED to give Sigma Kappa a chance by rushing to figure out if I really did want to join a sorority or not.
SO, after getting into a serious long distance relationship with a great Phi Kap at UMR, I ended my sophomore year with a diamond ring and acceptance to what would be my new school. I got to UMR in the fall and knew nobody but him and his fraternity brothers, which was fine except that I didn't want to feel like my life was completely interpreted through his. After hanging out at the Chi Omega house with a girl who went to my highschool and a new friend who lived down the hall from me (who was a Chi O pledge) I realized that all my wondering was leading to the same conclusion: I just HAD to join Chi O (informally) because everything about the girls is fantastic!! I absolutely LOVE it, although on occasion I do wonder where I would have gone, had I participated in formal recruitment. I think I could have fit in at ZTA, too.
But I never EVER for a moment regret joining Chi Omega, and I never doubt that it is where I was meant to end up in the scheme of things. If it weren't for Phi Kappa Theta, I would have never considered joining Chi Omega, and I would have never met some of the BEST people to ever enter my life.
