Hello Fanny Granny,
I am a fellow SistaFriend,
Take these factors into consideration:
1) The opportunity for you to study abroad is only going to come around ONCE.
2) Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, is not going anywhere. Though you make valid points abouts making yourself known, and putting alot research and effort into being chosen, there still is NO GUARANTEE!
Sorry.
3) Upon your return to the States and to your school the subsequent semester, you will most likely be considered more of an asset to the Sorority in the future because of your credentials and your undeniable potential for success!
I hope I helped.
