(I promise, I don't mean that in a mean way, or snarky, or whatever the word is!)

smaller, yes, not petite. Just to personal for minute and tell you why I suicided. I lost my birthmom at the tender age of 5. Then my stepmom 2 days before recruitment found out she had breast cancer. Let's just say that's all i needed to hear on philanthropy night. I wanted to join a sorority b/c my birthmom did it and my dad wanted me to, but also b/c i wanted to use my heart and the things that are really close to me to reach out to others. I found home right away. Really though, I was blessed, and truly feel like I had an angel looking out for me

That's really cool. So your sorority definitely has an even more special meaning for you than most! I mean, not to take away from other people's experience. It's just that you sort of have an even more significant experience. Gosh, I can't find what I'm trying to say, and I definitely am trying to be careful! But that is a neat story for sure. Sorry, I didn't mean to pry, I was just curious to hear why your rush went so well!

it's fine. i don't mind, people ask and I tell them why I chose Zeta. I tell them the story and how ZTA really chose me. I wouldn't say it's more special. It was VERY special though. My big sister whom has now left also had her step mom contract breast cancer. It's just a neat story and the reason I told it was to show how things that happen are meant to be. If it doesn't happen, it wasn't meant to happen. So, don't force things.
