i guess college life isn;t going to be the same for me anymore.

Ugh, the "how would they know?" question.

If someone really wanted to find out if you were previously initiated, I'm sure they could. People can find out anything these days. But no, NPC doesn't keep a database -- so technically you could, if you really wanted to.

Still, could you really have a clear conscience knowing that, if you did initiate into another NPC, you'd be going against the rules? Could you imagine what would happen if you were actually outed? FaceBook and MySpace make it so easy.

College is 4-5 years. Your Tri Delta sisterhood is for life. Which is more important?

I transfered schools. My current school, while there is a chapter of SDT up here, the chapter is nothing like the chapter that I pledged and went through initiation at. I had several, non Greek friends of mine tell me to rush and just pledge somewhere else. I looked at them like they were crazy.

First off, I would be found out easily, because I know way to well how things work for an average PNM.

And second off, and the most important, I couldn't imagine wearing any other letters then SDT. When I was initiated I made a vow of sisterhood to SDT...and to just wear another set of letters? Never. What I had with SDT was way more important to me.

Now I wear my letters all the time still (I have a set on right now), I keep in touch with my sisters back home (we no longer have a chapter but that is a different story) and I'm looking to bring a service sorority to my new school.

What's more important to you, having that Greek life @ school or Tri Delt and what you vowed when you got in? Only you can decide, but to me, it was where I felt at home, no matter if I lost that when I transfered.
