Esperanza03,
Welcome to GC! Like you, I also read GC for several months before joining and prior to rush. I can honestly say that it really helped me through rush and to join a house I really love. So, welcome again, we are so glad to have you!
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Why did I wait so long? hmm.. Well, since I am a non-Greek I was a little timid, but I come from a very strong Greek family and went through rush so I am still really interested in the system and like hearing about everyone's experiences, although it does make me wish I could go back and do rush all over again to change things, but you never know!
Thanks to all of you for the warm and hearty welcome. The reason I waited so long is so that I could get a feel for the board as well as have ample time to search and read so that I would avoid starting a topic that had already been beaten to mush. However, I'm here now and I look forward to conversing with all of you and developing meaningful relationships online. Thanks again to all of you. Take care and have a WONDERFUL day.
