Question for GC'ers who joined their chapter as upperclassmen!

This is an interesting and informative thread for me. In DST you must be at least a sophomore to seek admission. Then due to various circumstances many of our members do not gain admittance until their junior or senior years. But for us, that is not an issue because it is to be a "lifetime commitment." So in the scheme of things you still have MANY years to seek leadership roles, etc. through the alumnae chapters.

Yeah, dealing with NPC sororities, I venture to say that the majority of girls who join, do so as freshmen. Depending on the campus (this is mostly the case with large SEC conference schools and schools with very high numbers of rushees) it can be extremely difficult to join after freshman year. I'm very fortunate that my campus is VERY different from those. We have girls who go through rush as juniors and even seniors and get their top choices.

Like I said in the beginning of the thread, I do get a little sad thinking I'll only be active for another year, but since I joined later I knew I'd be graduating in 2 years. I knew I'd only be a collegiate for so long, so I plan on enjoying my leftover time as an active while also bearing my lifetime commitment in mind and getting excited about alumnae life.
