Well,
I hate to say this. I absolutley cannot rush this semester. I really wanted to. More than I can say. I was kinda scared to even post this. But there's no way I can.
It's a matter of money, for one. I will most likely lose my scholarship this semester. USC costs a few pretty pennies. About 20,000 a semester. Something my parents and I are already struggling to meet. Adding 100 for rush registration, plus clothes, plus shoes, make-up, the whole bit just adds up. And if I end up being blessed and recieve a bid, I have monthly dues to work in. Although I have no doubt in my mind that the experience would be worth it, I fear way too much. My dad's company has been cutting back continuously and my mom just got back to work after a year of unemployment. I can't be selfish now.
Plus, there is the fact that I was rejected last year. Now, don't get me wrong. I hold absolutley NO GRUDGES at any sorority or the Greek system as a whole. But so many people in this forum were blessed enough to recieve bids and not experience the tremendous blow that comes with the phone call saying not to come in to pick up your schudule. I won't go into details at all, but I had a very difficult summer. I went through a complete emotional rollercoaster. Just the highest of the high followed by the lowest of the low. I'm kinda at a low point right now, any similar experience as last year might push me over the edge.
I'm disappointed, but I know all good things come in time.
And I am willing to wait. Perhaps COB is for me! We'll see. I'll take any advice I can get.
I will let all you know. Perhaps you'll have a new sister in a while. The more the merrier! Wahoo! Although, I must say I will be avoiding the quad where the PNM's gather. I might not be able to resist joining in! Pajamas and all!
