rejections starting to hurt again...what should I do?

[adpiucf]

I agree that sorority membership is a time committment, but being a sorority woman also means honoring prior committments and being dependable.

ILP anticipated being called into work, was called into work and she chose to honor that committment. I respect that she didn't blow off something important that could jeopardize her position at work just for an informal meeting that will no doubt be held again this year or next year. She did indicate that she is interested in sorority membership and from her previous posts, I would go out on a limb to say that she "gets" that there are mandatory committments.

As a former student who had to work to put myself through school, I can't say I blame her for sticking to her prior committments and not dropping everything to attend an event she had just heard about.

Original Post: Well unfortunately I just realized I am probably going to be unable to attend tomorrow night's sorority event because I might have to work and it's too late to ask for the night off. Plus work is just more important to me...gotta get that money! But I'm not abandoning my thoughts of re-rushing just cause I can't attend tomorrow night.
