I'm a huge believer in fate and everything, but from my personal experience fate and I haven't been on the same page. I went through formal my freshman year as the worst PNM! No joke! I was cocky, rude, and stuck up! No wonder why 6 out of the 7 sororities dropped me! However, I ended up dropping out of formal because I didn't want to be in the "nerdy sorority." Yes, the only local sorority at Kent State was either considered non-existent or nerdy.

I went through informal for 5 out of the 7 sororities. Some of which, I understood why I didn't a bid (we weren't really "feeling" each other), but I had my heart set on ABC- especially when they did their pref ceremony during informal and I about bawled! I felt so welcome and at home! Turns out I didn't get a bid and I was crushed.

I knew the local sorority still wanted me so I went through their informal looking for letters (note: still a cocky freshman) and got a bid. I poured my heart into the sorority only to quit a year later and see the chapter fold.

Now, I know I don't have the time or money to be in a sorority and yet I want to so badly! I know which sororities on my campus I would like to be in, if everything else in my life fell into place, and I started to consider bringing in another national that I admire. Currently, I feel stuck between my priorities and my personal wants. So unless fate wants me to do AI, I am just another wanna-be putting in my 2 cents every once in awhile on GreekChat.
