Well, I think that perhaps yes it may seem different, which is why I called my story unique.
I wanted to post this as a compliment to you all I suppose just to let you know that even though things like this happen to people and girls who do go through recruitment post on here and then don't get a bid and leave doesn't mean girls like us who don't wind up as actives can still respect the greek system and can still wish we were a part of it, even if we couldn't be due to circumstance.
I was under the impression that you all would welcome compliments no matter how different a background or experience. Its not something I openly talk about to people just because I don't want them to think that I'm some nut job. But I've always felt that if they thought that they they weren't truly understanding the moral of the story. The moral to me which was, even if you're not a part of it due to whatever reason, you can still have an enormous respect and maintain lasting friendships no matter what the outcome of your experience.
I guess what fascinates me most is why you WOULDN'T welcome those who aren't a part of the system actively to join the conversation even after they've not received a bid/maintained active/disaffiliated. To me I think any experience no matter how strange, long ago, or sad it may be I think it creates interesting dialogue about Greek Life. Mostly I was interested to see your opinion on my experience, if to you it seemed normal.
Specifically, did any of you experience other girls in your pledge class who seemed nice at first, but did some questionable things, but wasn't dismissed or reprimanded for them?
