Switching from a Local Sorority to a National One

[mkprncss]

Hello everyone!

First off, I'd like to start by saying that I did try to search this topic but I didn't have any luck here so I'm sorry if it's been asked before!

In late August 2008, I was accepted into a local sorority on campus. Two semesters later, I resigned (note: I left on good terms). 1 full semester which was mostly as a pledge & one full semester as a sister

I had wanted to join a sorority that would allow me to do volunteer work, develop my leadership skills, and make new friends. Long story short: it didn't happen.

Anyway, to this day I am still active within the Greek community. I attend formal dinners, eat lunch with Greeks, and spend a large majority of my time with them.

Over the past few months I've been really impressed by one of the sororities on campus. I'd love to join them. I feel that there are many more benefits of being in a national chapter that I really am attracted to. For one, the rules and traditions have been going on for years so they are organized and set. I now understand what it takes to be in a sorority. I don't see the reasons that I left the local sorority for being a problem.

I've already spoke with the greek life adviser once. She had a few concerns with me attempting to rerush.

I've already expressed to her that I would be suicide rushing for XYZ and no one else.

So, I'm really just looking for some advice here. If anyone has any links to similar posts I'd appreciate it!
