Thoughts from Someone Who Went Through Formal Recruitment

The only reason I wanted certain chapters was because they seemed to be the prime example of what a sorority should be. It's silly but I thought they wanted me too. They had such strong bonds of sisterhood. They weren't just best friends they were like sisters. They called each other out on their BS and would get into silly arguments. I just didn't get that from the two sororities that invited me to Pref. Night. Even my rho chi told me she was surprised I wasn't invited to her chapter's pref. night (this was all said after I withdrew). I wasn't looking for a top chapter. I was looking for a right fit and if the more "awkward" chapters is where I end up next year I can decide what to do then.

Look, I've got to be honest here: if you want to find ANY sisterhood, you'd better start looking THIS year. What I get from your post is that no, you didn't want a "top" chapter in the dictionary sense of the term, but you didn't want some specific chapters for whatever reason. So I really think that you need to decide (sooner rather than later) whether or not you have any intention of being Greek in college. If the answer is yes, you simply must be Greek, I wouldn't wait a year. You have a much better chance now than you would next year (and also, you really can't get your GPA up much between your junior and senior years. Too many grades already).

I understand your desire to want to see all the chapters again, I really do, but you're just too far along in college for that to be a truly reasonable plan.
