Help!!

[JamieAnna]

A sorority is colonizing at my school next week and I don't know if I should give it a try or not....

First off I'm a sophomore transfer and they are accepting students from every grade level, well of course because its a new chapter.

My GPA is on the lower end, but higher than the minimum to rush. Last semester(my first semester here) I did bad in a 4 credit course that I am retaking to totally replace the grade which, if all goes well, my anticipated GPA for that semester should be around a 3.1. I'm a great student, but I just happened to have a really bad first semester adjusting at a new school.

I am in quite a few clubs and programs at my university and 1 of the clubs I am in is somewhat connected to the philanthropy the colonizing sorority has as it relates to cancer.

I'm also interested in possibly taking on some leadership responsibilities in my chapter.

I really want to join a sorority because I want a sisterhood and lifelong relationships with these girls and I believe that it will only benefit me in the end and that it is a great experience to be a part of.


So should I even bother?

edit: I also forgot to mention that my cousin and her best friend were both in the chapter that is colonizing at my school and they both filled out the recommendation form for me. To mention one of them was president of that chapter too.
