Finally got word from AZD. Though they are impressed with us, they don't feel we are strong enough to colonize. They want us to make sure all of our members meet their GPA requirements, as well as stay active in the greek and local community, and raise our numbers up to 35 total members, ideally by April. This is essentially impossible in my mind right now. We can't even get ONE new member, let alone 20 plus. I know I shouldn't be sad about this, but I'm so disapointed. I feel like my whole greek experience has just been a series of setbacks, and I'll never get to what I'm aiming for. Maybe I want things that just aren't possible. I feel that we are completely alienated from the greek community at our school, we have no national support (which would have been a huge help for recruiting) and we are continously plagued with internal problems. Sometimes I don't remember what I'm even getting out of all this, besides tears and frustration. I know we won't be able to get to 35 by April, maybe not even by April of 2004, and then I'll graduate and I will have completely missed out on what I've been wanting for so bad for so long. I'm sorry this sounds so depressed, I'm just sad. More later.
