All this talk of recruitment made me want to sign up, even though I won't be going through until January, if I do at all.

I go to Northwestern and I'm a sophomore. I'm a little worried, because I went through last year and got a bid, even though I got cut heavily. I was really excited about joining a sorority even if it wasn't the most popular house on campus, but it didn't work out. My mom refused to pay my sorority dues because she was in another sorority that is really good there, and she said she didn't want me in a crappy house. She's been talking to me over the summer about trying again, and I want to because I really want to join a sorority, but I just don't know. What if I get cut again?

My mom says I can't join any house but hers or one of the other "good" sororities but I really liked the girls at XYZ. What should I do???
