Where would I feel most comfortable? (Long....)

[misscherrypie]

I'm a Junior Transfer in my late twenties who is seriously into volunteer work and wants to make new friends, keep up with volunteer work and be a helper in general. I'm extremely interested in Greek Life for these reasons.

I've searched the forums and read up on some Sororities that I am interested in approaching during rush as well as information on rushing at my age. Yet, some of what I've found has left me in deep thought and I wondered if the ladies here on Greek Chat may be able to offer another opinion.

About myself:

As I said, I'm in my late twenties.
3.0-3.3 GPA
Active in the Performing Arts at the Community College I'm transferring from.
Very active with Volunteer Work
Many past internships and as a result, many possible recs are available for me to request.
I live in the Mountain West.


The Sororities are:

XXZ has very little information online. Their National Website doesn't have a link to individual University Chapters and no contact information for the local chapter is available on the University's Greek Life pages. I'm interested in them, but wonder if I won't feel as comfortable even though they are a traditionally XYZ Ethnic Group Sorority, and even though I am part of XYZ Ethnic Group I've never had much association with others of my Ethnic Group due to geographic reasons. I wonder if this will cause myself, and potential Sisters discomfort.

XYZ is a NPC and while I adore their philanthropy, motto and general modus operandi, I've read that for someone my age to even receive a bid is extremely unusual. So, I'm sort of afraid to try.


I'm also interested in all of the NPC Sororities that are active on campus, but have my preferences, as all of us do. I think that it would be a complete privilege to receive a bid from one, let alone more than one.

My friends say that even throwing my hat into the rush process is silly, then again, they think that Greek Organizations are silly. Which is an opinion that I don't share.



So, ladies.... do I sound like someone who might actually fit into Greek Life....or would you advise me to look to other activities on Campus?

Thank you!
