@ Kansas: Thanks!
But eh, I wouldn't say that they're "not as good of friends" as I thought. I think it's more that they're looking out for me -- they don't want to set me up for something that I have no shot at (somewhere along those lines).
@ AOE: Just curious, but can you join both a professional and social sorority...? Haha.

I'd probably end up with one or the other, but not both... I would like to be able to dedicate quality time to whatever I'm involved in. Thanks for the heads-up about the prof. sororities, though!
@ barbino: I know, I know. I should.

I will. I'll turn in my registration form sometime this week...
@ exlurker: Yeah, I'm headed towards one of those UCs.
@ DGT: You're right. I suppose I'm worried about making a fool out of myself...? But also, rush is during my UC's welcome week. Like, the ENTIRE week... so I don't want to spend all that time for something that, as I previously believed, had little-to-no shot at.
@Tridelt: Thanks!
