Definitely give it your all. I think you'll see very different results.

So I think what we're all getting at is...
*I should really give it another go?
*Don't wait until after surgery to reconnect with my sisters....because it will actually help everyone if I do so before?
*Put everything I have into it, because it's the only way I'll get everything out of it?
I was sitting here thinking about it before I read your post, AGDee, and I remember Pref Night at my Sorority. It was so beautiful. I cried. I was the only girl in my Pref Class that looked remotely emotional about the beauty of Sisterhood and excitement for what lies ahead as a XYZ.
I think those beautiful memories and intense emotions became lost and distorted in the partying and apathy I went through. It's not that they were never there....I just forgot about them.
Oh, and I did my homework about our Reinstatement Policies. A few girls in my sorority have said "there is no coming back," but according to the National Policy Handbook, Reinstatement Policies DO exist, and it IS possible. I have spoken with my Advisor about everything before I took my withdrawal, and she knows my situation and my desire for reinstatement. I think that's why she let me keep my Bid Day presents *shrug*
