Hello to All!!
I must say, I've spent the last hour and a half poring through a lot of the threads in this forum, and decided I may as well make my presence known.
I originally came in search of my situation, which I find unique, but many of you may not. I've found threads that hit on one part of my query, but need further clarification... In high school I was the "extreme scholar", graduating top of my class. In college, though, I have gone quite the opposite. My first semester, I "tried to be superwoman", taking many difficult classes, and to say in the least, it didn't work to my advantage. I also found out that I have test anxiety, and though my gpa has risen steadily over the past year and a half since then, it hasn't quite made its way "up there". I also stay involved in many organizations on campus, including my honors program (we go out into the community as a small group) and the black student union. My honors dean understands my situation, coming from where I am (a terribly underfunded public school, where the graduation rate itself is pretty low, matriculating to a PWI), and believes that the steady increase of my grades shows the mark of a true honor student, rather than those who had opportunities I didn't, and simply maintain a good gpa.
Well, to get to the point, I'm pretty aquainted to a Zeta on campus. She invites me to a lot of their programs and whatnot, and when I come, she always introduces me to her sorority sisters, and makes sure I feel welcome there. **At first I found this peculiar, but someone in joking said that they could be eyeing me as a prospect... could that be?** After doing some extensive research on BGLO's along with others, I decided that this is the org I want to pursue. I'm entering my junior year, and though my grades aren't where they should be, would I possibly have a chance? What is your take on this? Should I possibly have a one on one with my friend to sort things out?
Thanks for hearing me out, and I apologize if this happened to turn into a pretty long introduction.
