thanks haynestammy! It took me a while to realize this.

I was of a completely different mind when I first started college- I thought I would never go greek because of all the negative things I "knew" about greeks. And then I discovered that behind the --sometimes true, more often not-- negative sterotypes were sisters and brothers for *life*...and it was the values and ideals of their respective GLO that brought them together. I found that to be beautiful; I wanted and needed to be a parted of something like that. Late in my freshman year, I found the sisterhood in which reflects my personal values, and they agreed that I matched their ideals and goals. So six months after swearing off of greek like, there I was starting a chapter, along with a bunch of like-minded woman (I think of the Chapter's 18 Founders, only two had ever rushed; the rest were dead set against anything greek...until they came across our sisterhood.)
Life is beautiful....
