Katie i have to agree with everyone here.
But one thing in your message i need to set clear...Regardless of whether or not you think you would have been selected during formal recruitment, YOU WERE SELECTED and INITIATED into ADPI. Which means, bottom line, this is where you belong. You have just as much a right to wear our letters and speak your mind and attend our functions as any girl. MSS is hard to understand. It was never one of my favorite things. I, too, feel that I might not have been chosen to be an adpi if I had gone through FR. But then I remember that FR and SR are very different. And the ladies who bid me knew what they were doing. ADPi is known for diversity and, Katie, you are a piece of that!
I will be doing another round of GC Diamond sisters soon. I hope you will be a part of that. In the mean, have you talked to your diamond sister? Have you taken a diamond sister? It is amazing how things change when you taken one of your own. Stick it out sister, we are all very proud to share our sisterhood and diamond badge with such a wonderful lady!
BTW: What school do you attend? Maybe more of us can meet you this summer.
