Getting your last choice

[FSUZeta]

There was a girl who rushed when I was at FSU that could have had her pick of all the chapters. She was the whole package-beautiful, smart, sweet, activities, and recommendations. At the time, several of the chapters were struggling with membership numbers, and in fact, several chapters left campus due to low numbers.

All week long she had her pick of invitations, and attended 3 pref. parties, one of which was her legacy house, which was one of the struggling chapters. She baffled everyone by joining that chapter. She told a sorority sister of mine that that chapter needed her more than her other 2 choices. What everyone thought should have been her last choice was her first, so there she differs from you.

She was a breath of fresh air for that chapter, and in the 4 years she spent on campus, their numbers improved and they became stronger and stronger. You can be that girl for your chapter.

Your chapter is so much more than itself. It is just a cog in the wheel of your national organization. I can honestly say that my alumna years have been even better than my collegiate ones. Not to say that you will not cherish your collegiate years-just that maybe while you are experiencing all the fun activities, sisterhoods, parties and rituals of your collegiate years, you remember that the best may be yet to come.
