Third time's the charm: Colony?

^^^ I'm hoping so since it is wildly inaccurate.

At SOME schools they take virtually everyone who applies but at others they have 2 or 3 times as many girls as spots. Class standing in this case is a benefit because they will need but not get much interest from very many upper classmen. But it is not a shoo in.

And "not fitting in anywhere else" can mean a myriad of different things. If she picks her boogers and eats them, she will not fit in with the other sororities. Do you think the colony wants her? Of course this is not my assumption. It sounds to me like she didn't formal rush as a freshman, informal rushed but couldn't finish because of a luke-warm obligation, didn't formal rush as a sophomore for no reason that was given, and then didn't informal rush as a sophomore because of a friggin puppy. Now her college days are waning and she's realizing she put her priorities, I don't want to say in the WRONG place, but in places that are not conducive to sorority membership.

^^^ I qfp'ed her post about what happened during informal her freshman year. She didn't get a bid from the sorority her friends wanted that she didn't want. It's the 2nd QFP in my post (see #11 in this thread).

Frankly I think she should go through formal, and try for the colony. That will put an end to all of this longing.

Go ahead and try for it. I didn't join a sorority until my junior year because I transferred from a 2 year school with (obviously) no Greek system, but still wanted that opportunity to get more involved on campus and experience Greek life. Being in sorority will require multi-tasking. Sisters are queens of time management. My sisters had jobs, pets, family obligations, etc. Some were also planning their own weddings.

PS: My two year school is now a 4 year with a budding Greek system (they have AOPi and Alpha Kappa Lambda).

A junior transfer =/= a senior who went through rush twice before at the same school.
