advice, advice

to keep things private i'm not going to go into detail of where i am from (except i will say in the south), and i won't go into detail about which chapters are which, besides using substitute letters.

so i am a junior in college. i always had my heart set upon rushing even in high school. i love the idea of a sorority, it must be an awesome feeling to have such a huge "family" of girls that are with you through thick and thin. that you have shared secrets and bonds that no one else knows about. (i probably sound a bit cheesy , but thats how i think about it).

anyways, i have always had something come up to keep me from rushing!

freshman year- couldn't move down to college in enough time for rush. parents were very busy with work and couldn't take time off until a few days after rush began. i was so depressed and i became kind of sorority crazy. i was so envious of all the girls leaving for socials and formals, wearing their letters on campus and seeing them at football games all together. i was so unhappy with my parents for not being able to get me down in time, but they wanted to move me themselves, you know the whole "parent saying goodbye" to their child thing!

sophomore year- stupid reason really: dating a great guy (still dating him now) when we met freshman year he had ended a relationship a few months earlier with a girl in ABC. he said he couldn't take the constant strain of her being in a sorority, they had other problems as well...but i believe that was the deal breaker for them. i decided that i could involve myself in other activities and be just as happy. totally wrong. i saw so many new girls totally in love with their sorority. anyways i ended up transferring because my major i decided on wasnt offered, and i am now at another college.

this year- i just figured i was too old now, i figured i could just push it to the back of my mind and forget about it, i'm at a new school, new oppurtunities, new things to do, i will forget about my desire to rush and just go on with life. well no. first thing on campus i see is the girls in their bid day shirts. i thought to myself, "i am so pathetic!! why am i so sad seeing the new freshman girls in their bid day shirts?! i'm an upperclassman and i am acting like a jealous 14 year old!" i sound like an old lady talking about all her regrets in life. tooooo young for this!



so i am thinking, would senior year be my year? or should i just give up on it and find something else to do with my time?

thanks
