Did you choose the wrong sorority?

And I think you can love your sorority and still wonder if you made the right choice. When my own chapter closed, I wondered if I had made the right choice.

Going through COB or informal only has nothing to do with actually knowing people in the other sororities.

As far as a chapter closing and all that, if you want to think be at odds with someone, it's more as the women who are running the sorority on a national level rather than the sorority (historically or presently) itself. See: "If Bush gets re-elected I'm going to Canada." Pretty much everyone who said that didn't follow through, because they still appreciate what America was founded on and the opportunities that are here. NO sorority is without a traumatic chapter closing or two or 10 and a lot of it is just what personalities are where at what time. The only instance that I can think of truly thinking the sorority as A WHOLE was the wrong choice is back when groups still had white clauses and a chapter tried to initiate women of color.
