LMV - I'm happy for you that you have found a home on campus and that hopefully it's where you wanted to be. I also do hope that you really take it all in during your fraternity education. Lifetime commitment is one of the best things about joining a sorority. Unfortunately too many members think it is only there for them during their 4 years on campus.
I'm not going to speak for everyone, but I'm still involved in my sorority and I was initiated in 1996. I happen to work with other chapters on other campuses than mine at U of I but it doesn't mean that I don't care about that one as well. I put a lot into my sorority experience and I got a lot out of it, it helped form my self-development, gave my confidence to do things I never thought I'd have the courage to do, and allowed me to feel at home with a campus of 36,000 people. Not to mention the connections to my chapter's sisters but the amazing amount of women I've met throughout North America, young and older, who I'm proud to call my sisters. I believe in my ritual and I've lived by the values in my ritual my entire life (most if it without knowing that those were my sorority's values). I hope that the experience I had, albeit not perfect and rocky, is still available for collegiate women to continue to have for years to come.
I know that without alumnae volunteers sororities will not exist so I will devote my time for the rest of my life. I hope I do see you active on GC in the years to come and caring about the life of your sorority and all greek life
Make the most of your experience, it will reward you thousands-fold.
The recruitment adviser at my chapter on campus is one of my best friends but I'm not going to ask about junior transfers.
