hi everyone! sorry i didn't reply sooner, i had two huuuge midterms yesterday that i was studying for. anyway, thank you for all your compliments on my writing and for your support

i will definitely make my way over to the tri-sigma boards today.
as for wearing letters, i don't see it as a bad thing that i can't wear them until i'm initiated. right now, i don't know what they mean or anything and it will be very special when my big gives me my first letters. i'm almost positive that all of the npc's here follow that rule; one of the sororities, for their homecoming shirts, ordered two separate designs: one with letters for the members and one with the letters written out for the pledges.
as for where i am... i would rather not disclose that or what my old school was. i'm sorry. i will let you know that both schools are in new england, though.
and thanks again-- you have a wonderful support system here for rushees!
