Yes.
Similarly, did you become a member of an organization that cut you during rush as an undergraduate?
Yes, however, I should mention had gone to a non-Greek university prior to this and tried to get a DG colony going. So my situation was somewhat different. I also wanted to mention that when I did rush in September, my Dad had died very unexpectedly in the summer, so it was hard to be a smiling, happy rushee, compared to my other rushees. I find that rush is an emotional roller coaster to anyone, but when you are grieving an immediate death in your family, the feelings are that much more amplified.
Later on in life, I actually looked at other organizations as well just to make sure that I was making the right choice. For example, I did look at Tri Delta, which is a wonderful fraternity, however there is no Tri-Delta alumnae chapter in my home city, so that was a bit of a deal breaker (I still have great Tri Delta friends though, who I love dearly. They're delighted for me finding my way "home" to DG). I also looked at a few other organizations, but for some reason, I just could not forget about Delta Gamma. I had tried to colonize them, had such a "history" with them, and knew so much about them, that I really felt that if I was initiated into another NPC, there would be no going back and
then I could never be a Delta Gamma. I did not think I could turn my back on Delta Gamma and so I became one, and I am grateful everyday to be a Delta Gee!
