Between a Rock and a Hard Place.

After being waitlisted from a few of my top-choice colleges I made two decisions: I decided to attend a local school, and I decided the community service and sisterhood provided by a specific sorority would be the best way to become acclimated to college life. Though I was a bit disillusioned after initiation, I worked towards creating stronger relationships with my sisters--and it did help a little.

Meanwhile, I devoted a lot of time to athletic and academic pursuits and did considerably well in them. And all of this work didn't go unnoticed--professors, bosses, advisors, internship committees, all of them began to tell me to re-apply to those top schools. The strange thing is, I really do want to do it. Yet I feel that I would potentially anger my sisters in my attempts to transfer. If I was to begin the application processes, my schedule would become much more hectic. Not to mention, I would ultimately be leaving my sorority.

I cannot help but feel torn....some sisters might be upset with me. In all honesty I originally could not even fathom transferring (because I'd given up hope), but after my first year and all the positive reinforcement I want to go for it. It's like a personal dream of mine...

What should I do and what are my options? If I were to leave, would there be tension between my sisters and I? I know that theoretically they would support me...but I fear it'll be much different.
